Fishcop:
If you are trying to compare a mangle to a Porsche >F6< you are well off base.
The mangle was a turn of the century clothes drying device, simple in engineering terms, simple in manufacture and simple in use-
merely place the clothes in one end, twist the handle and out they come; all squeezed dry.
The >F6< is an engineering jewel. It is mastery of design, brilliance of execution and wonderous in operation. It can also be seemingly simple in use: merely place your body in the seat, twist the key and out you'll come- squeezed flat from G forces.
Mrs Mangle from Neighbours still works in this discussion though! Brits and Aussies/Kiwis will remember her as an annoyingly antiquated, stuck-in-her-ways frump, who was well past her sell by date. Kinda reminds me of the SB Chevvy??
