Q: A pun?!

A: No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?

Q: (Long pause) A palindrome...?

A: Yeah, that's it!

Q: It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "BigAl" would be "Lagib"!! It don't work!!

It is not really important in this context, but I just cannot help pointing out that the term "1-75 Superfast (post 1982)" is very misleading, as what you probably really mean is "Miniatures (post 1982)".

Remember that the Superfast name was officially discontinued in 1980, and then re-introduced for three different purposes in later years. Even before 1980 the Miniatures range never consisted entirely of Superfast models.

Besides, the range did not always consist of 75 models, but sometimes 100 and sometimes 120.

"Matchbox Miniatures" is really the most appropriate term if you want to refer to the range as a whole.

The reason for this thread is only to test the poll feature, nothing more. But I'm sure it will be put to a better use in the future.
