That elicits the the classic response, "How did they do that?".

Wonderful. Thanks Jean.

I was wondering what that meant. Thanks for the translation!

Over here in the colonies, a caravan would be a group of cars, trucks, etc. travelling together.

here in the US, we would refer to a caravan as a travel trailer or camper, to distinguish it from a commercial trailer (the back end of a semi or tractor-trailer, what Brits call an articulated lorry)

Interesting. I've never heard of a travel trailer referred to as a caravan before. Learn something every day!

The Norton Transformer in the video sounded a little grumpy. In fact I think he sounded kind of like a cranky old Brit! (Are you out there, MikeB?) :wink:

I usually think of a caravan as one of those small trailers pulled by a four cylinder Morris or something. I suppose they have gotten larger these days.
That was a beautiful job the most unbelievable part was how easy it started.
