I never knew that. I must admit that the answer is a simple thing, nothing complicated, but maybe subtle. The connection is solely in the names.

Is it a faire part of birth you're "expecting" here? Something like Mr and Mrs Nash are happy to announce the birth of the young Politan in the Metro?

I've heard of the Nash before, interesting it was used also by different makes. And both Hudson and Austin are places in the US.

Correct Mike, something to crow about.

RB Baby Doll is not nickname it is the model, as distinct from a Plus 8, Club Sports, etc.

Mary Lindsay has owned and raced Bulldog since 1976, and it is always driven to and from race meetings,
