pronounciation.

odd = oddie (odd-ie)
podd = poddie (podd-ie)

or is this old ground?

Short version of the story...

When I sign my name (Paul) apparently it looks like "Pod"... and became "Podie"... it kinda stuck and I quite like it... think more people call me Podie than Paul these days...

Back to the question;
S Buying tips

Crazing - Is slight cosmetic crazing the norm? Im not talking serious here, just very light surface crazing.

make sure it IS a "c"... not something that claims to be!

How will I know it IS a C if its been de-catted?

I know it has an LSD but I cant see that either!

What other signs are there?

Also is it really worth me trying that much harder to get a C? Is there much difference? (I know about the torque hike).

Fair enough, it sounds it but I wasn't annoyed or anything - the amazing thing is that you didn't find a gag in there Mr Pod!..... but I'm sure if I search, I can find a pic of you modelling a handbag
