 My answer...... well, maybe it does, but nobody yet has worked out just =
 what it means..!!!  More seriously, though, the answer is "They all do =
 that" (or a great many of them do, anyway).  >>


I can report from California that the 71 spider did that for 14 years and 
nary a trouble... the 84 GTV6 does it once in a while and no problemo... the 
91 spider seems to do it most of the time and everything's copasetic... and 
the 87 Milano never does it at all and lets out a little giggle about it.

There have been various descriptions, theories, and disquisitions on this 
topic but I don't believe the phenomenon has ever been linked to a genuine 
problem, so just forget it and drive.
