Never heard anything compared to a giraffe before. Surely it’s a London bus , approx same height as a giraffe?

And what gets me more is not which way the giraffe was halved but why use half a giraffe as a unit of measurement at all when there must be other animals that are already about half the size of a giraffe without having to start cutting them up. A donkey? Or a small cow. A Stag. Though some stags are probably bodily nearly the same as I giraffe. So we really have no idea how big this asteroid is. 

The giraffe is really not a sensible unit of measurement unless the asteroid was literally giraffe shaped but smaller.

That’s a federal-bumpered Austin Marina in the foreground.  The Marina was the last inexpensive saloon/coupe BL attempted to sell in the USA.

I wonder why????

They saw the Japanese were starting to shift smaller, 'stick shift' cars into the States and thought 'we can do that too'?

Why they sold it or why they stopped?

Presumably BL wanted to compete with the Toyota Corona, Datsun 610, Dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt and the newly launched Fiat 131.

As for the domestic alternatives, neither the Ford Pinto nor the Chevrolet Vega were available as a four door saloon, so I really don’t see them as direct rivals.

I'm not sure that's going to be very accurate once the recoil kicks in
