That is a cool story...   40 years later, I still think "metric"!

Reminds me of when I lived in Capetown, South Africa, back in the late 70's. 
They had recently enacted legislation requiring the country to go metric. 
Which translated to a couple of amusing situations.  When I was heading back 
to the US my friends all wanted to buy my inch tape measures.  And, a parts 
shop that I frequented had liquidated their inventory of SAE wrenches - I got 
sets of top quality German wrenches for peanuts!  Gotta love legislation.

Many US companies has already found out the superiority of the metric system, 
like Ford. ??

I don't know if they are completely metric but the 1990:s EFI I used as the 
basis for my EFI conversion is all metric.
