I look forward to reading about your forthcoming doughsprung car.

SteveH (steve (AT) italiancar (DOT) co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : In what way is a gas similar to a metal spring? They both exhibit elastic properties? So does a ball of dough. Strangely, I thought of the Mini's rubber cones at that point... |

Why would that be, then? I think he is referring to the Citroens with hydropneumatic suspension. Z Although nitrogen springs are still springs. They don't meet the definition of "spring" "noun 1 a a metal coil that can be stretched or compressed, and which will return to its original shape when the pull or pressure is released, especially one where this can be done at a controlled rate so that it can be used to turn a mechanism, eg in a clock, watch, etc; b a similar device that is designed to absorb shock waves, eg in the shock absorbers of some motor vehicles, or to make seats, beds, etc comfortable and bouncy.

Chambers 2003
"an elastic contrivance usually for setting in motion or for reducing
shocks"
I think that covers gas springs/torsion bars etc.
