Well, yeah. If you treat it like baseball cards (trading bait). A 5-speed
"crash" box is something not many would know how to handle. I learned all
about non-synchronised transmission on the farm. Heck, most drivers today
would have trouble with a manual shift transmission.

I've got quite a few - but, then I collects recipes. Lately I've been
just getting those I might eat or make ... or are very exotic/interesting.

My Meal Muncher main database is over 21K recipes.

This is an "all day" breakfast. If I eat this in the morning I won't eat
again for the rest of the day. Well, maybe a cup of yoghurt or other
light snack in the evening.   Bv)=
