Hopefully that's not merely the early signs of a massive heart attack,
that would be really a big shame.

why are some cars called 'spider'?
i can understand naming them after fast sexy cats, but why spider?

they got eight legs?
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 14:51, Reply)

That was the name given to some open carriages prior to the car being invented
due to the fact that they had a frame or skeleton with radiating arms
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 14:54, Reply)

Nice one.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 14:56, Reply)

then why name cars that then?
cars are nothing like spiders
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 14:57, Reply)

Car terms have been lifted wholesale from carriages
sedan, cabriolet, spider, hackney carriage, turbo, 4x4, fuel injection, spark plugs etc etc
( Kroney, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 14:59, Reply)

so why specifically are those cars spiders?
what makes them more like spider carriages than a ford marina?

and i'm not buying that spark plugs carriage thing, your having me on
(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 15:01, Reply)

Because they are convertibles (ie, have a soft removable roof)
like the carriage

( Kroney, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 15:03, Reply)

yeah but carriages didn't have spark plugs, they had candle corks

(Quintno EXPERIMENT RUINED CANCELLED, LEFT 4EVER, Fri 29 Jun 2012, 15:09, Reply)

No, you see
Spark plugs were originally small vulcanised rubber caps that went on the nails on a horse's shoe. They'd put them there to stop the shoes striking up sparks on the road.
