Gee, I just made an educated guess as to what you meant even though I'd never heard of a "saloon" car. Guess that's the newspaper editor/English major in me :-)

    Oh, I think I should clarify.

    When I said I couldn't get past it, I meant that I was repeatedly thinking about it in an amused fashion. It's not that I didn't understand the reference. I kept picturing a car with the swinging doors typical of a saloon in "Wild West" movies. And of course, a guy in a bowtie playing the piano in the back...

    I did look it up in an online dictionary, thinking that perhaps an alternate meaning would surface. But alas, the dictionary only has American English definitions. So in the end I figured it was a typo -- but it was still pretty clear what BrowserUK originally meant.
