[Coco] Greetings from Manila

[Bob Devries]

Hi Roger,

Your old rusty Pinto will blend right in here. Many cars here are old 
rust-buckets, especially taxis. Maintenance seems non-existent. Use of the 
vehicle's horn is the preferred warning method to say "I'm coming through, 
get out of the way"

Worrying....
