[net.sf-lovers] So Long and Thanks for All the Fish - US vs. British

As a contribution to the discussion on differences between the British and
US versions of SLaTFAtF, I noted that in my SFBC edition, Arthur drove
a VW Rabbit.  Unless he had it specifically imported from America, what he
was really driving was a Golf.  (Of course, they're now Golfs in the US too...)
What does he drive in the British version?

I used to think I was expressing opinions - there again people used to think
the world was flat.
