Same problem as any other MG (or most any british car), they leak oil and their electrical system is aluminum instead of copper.

Glorfindel
In the Silmarilion he was Lord of the people of the Golden Flower in Gondolin. He was called Golden Glorfindel, Elf of Gold-tress, Glorfindel of the golden mane.
My Tolkien is a little old but if I remember right... noble elf of Gondolin, he fell to death locked in mortal combat with a Balrog after escaping from the sack of Gondolin by Morgoth when they were pinned in the mountainuos regions of Amon Gwareth. One of the two captains of Fingon, High King of Noldor, the other captain was Ecthelion or something that unpronouncable.
Glorfindel was locked in single combat with a Balrog on the slopes of Cirith Thoronath as the elf army fought a holding action against Morgoth's hordes of orcs to allow the refugees of Gondolin and Turgon and the men of Angband to flee. Both the elf and the Balrog fell off a precipice into "a great emptiness". The day was saved with the arrival of the great eagles and Thorondor, King of Eagles, bore Glorfindel's lifeless body out of the abyss "and they buried him in a mound of stones beside the pass; and a green turf came there, and yellow flowers bloomed upon it amid the barrenness of stone, until the world was changed"
In the Third Age of Middle Earth during the events of Lord of the Ring, Glorfindel is of Elrond's household in Rivendell. He is an old friend of Strider and Gandalf, and seems to be one of the more important elves besides Elrond - there were few major elf players in LotR compared to Silmarillion. When Frodo and company approach the passes near Rivendell, they were attacked by a Nazgul but Glorfindel protected them, saving Frodo's behind and allowing them to escape to the safety of Rivendell.
All things considered, Glorfindel in LotR was the reincarnation of the one in Silmarillion. Where the old Glorfindel died fighting against a Balrog, the new one survived and lived happily ever after and all that. I dont remember him playing any other significant roles.
My favourite characters are Galadriel, Tom Bombadil and Goldberry - even if the last 2 were secondary characters. Now, uh, what was the question

I'm a little rusty on my Tolkien history as well, it's been a while since I read the Silmarilion (My favourite Tolkien book). The Glorfindel from the Rings Trilogy is indeed a different one. I believe he is the son of one of the main characters (You know, Feanor and his many brothers), I'm not sure. I may do a quick read and make sure.
Tom Bombadil is a real cool character. Did you know that he is basically the same race as Gandalf, Istar or Istari or something, I forget.
Gimli was one of my favourite characters, as well as Sam. Boromir's brother was real cool (Faramir?) We used to play the roleplaying game Tolkien. I've got tons of reference stuff at home that gives me little insights that the main books couldn't give me. If your a Tolkien fan, go out and buy the modules and adventures for the game, you'll learn tons of stuff /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

well gandalf (real name olorin methinks) and the rest of the Istari are actually Maiar sent from Middle Earth to help elves and men against Sauron... Sauron and all the balrogs are also Maiar which really get's me wondering; aren't they (the maiar) supposed to be somewhat godlike?

That was the name, Maiar. Yeah, they're sort of like demigods. Balrogs were twisted versions that went evil like Morgoth. One of my favourite evil characters was Ungoliant the giant spider (Shelob's mother/father), she supposedly became so hungry that she consumed herself. Thats the coolest thing! /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
