Obviously Rover 
1.  Didn't anticipate the internet
2.  Didn't expect US owners and Aust/UK owners to talk a lot about details
like wiring diagrams and transmissions; after all, their target market
didn't work on their cars...

I've been amazed at the amount of talk on Rovernet
about 3500S cars and was surprised that Rover had sold
so many manual transmission cars in the US! So Ray was
not alone in Oz in not knowing the well-known.

Well, that's cleared that up till next time.
