The tenured Professora Laufon, star of such classic games as:

Professora Laufon and the Curious Watercolour
Professora Laufon and the Accordion Spectre
Professora Laufon and the Weird Fish
Professora Laufon and the Last Forest of Iceland

...right, I just changed it but I might as well go and add the -a. :P

Well, we don't really have a tradition for distinguishing between male and female professors here in Europe when I think about it. It's professor either way, professor Snape, professor McGonagall and so forth.

I can and would if I still had one at my use! It's not much going by speed or traffic safety but it has the best ventilation system known in the car world. I like to think of the different levels of it as:

1) Just driving, it's got holes everywhere so you do get some amount of fresh air no matter what.
2) Screw open a little panel on the right hand side. It literally opens a hole through the car (there's a mosquito net in and going by how it tends to look like it's a very important feature).
3) Pull a lever at the door, it unlocks the lower half of the window which you can then attach to the top of the window part.
4) Roll the top open halfway. Goodbye hairdo. WOOOSH.
5) Roll the top open completely. Goodbye hair in general. WOOOOOOOOSH.

This is intriguing and mystifying. o_o

I like the -a though, makes me feel special. :D

Visit me sometime in Finland and I'll demonstrate you how it works. Level 5 is my absolute favourite with the only downside that if it starts to rain there's no way of quickly closing the top...

This doesn't sound like a car so much as a sieve on wheels...

Reason n+1 to visit Iceland: behold the mystery that is Laufey's car.

Well, Worldcon will be held in Helsinki in 2017 and minnions have been talking about using this as an excuse for a big meet-up. Maybe we should make a thread for it and put it on the calendar to make it more official.

Edit: No idea how I managed to post without seeing Rabbit's reply. Sorry!
