Steamy Tale of Sydney Aystralia

Imagine this... You're in Sydney, Australia driving across the "Coathanger" which is the local nickname for the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's your first drive over the bridge but entering it you can't see the other side. You're managing well enough among the many, many lanes of very busy traffic. Perhaps you even take an admiring look at the Sydney Opera House & it's magnificent harbour setting.
Half way across you notice your temperature meter creeping up. Having no other choice, you carry on but soon there's a wisp of something on the bonnet of your little red, box-shaped Triumph Dolomite. While you're driving the last third of the bridge steam erupts from the bonnet in a full-blown radiator revolution. Sydneysiders give you more than one odd look as they drive by in their Australian made Holdens, Japanese cars & other apparently reliable vehicles. Those repeated ads for the Holden come to your mind through the steam. Their motto? "Should'a bought the Holden".
