I shan't dwell on the 200+ euros a week of Saudi Arabia's finest desert juice that it burns every week, but I do get a lot of fun in return. I just go really irritatingly slowly around a roundabout with Audiman or Golfchav getting really wound up about 2 centimetres behind me, then leave the roundabout or junction in a sedate, stately manner and as soon as I'm pointing in straight line I put my foot down. Vooom! Bye bye Audiman! They just sort of get smaller in the mirror, quickly.Originally posted by Old Hack View PostThe dog would tulip itself though
I bet you do. I had a highly tuned turbo 5 pot, and I used to drive up the same hill to hear the dump valve chattering. I am sad, I know.

Sounds like a boring old Ford Focus to me.Originally posted by doodab View PostWhat is a good car to replace my mobile banknote incinerator? It needs to cruise comfortably on the motorway and around town & cope occasionally with a family of 4. It needs to burn petrol instead of £20 notes, and preferably not too much of it.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

The advert's still up for the jag. Notice that it says 'verkocht' on the first photo in the set? That's right, it's sold. To me.Originally posted by Old Hack View PostThe dog would tulip itself though

My stepfather still has a a V12 XJS convertible, it doesn't come out very often and he never goes far in it but it does sound like a spitfire when he starts it up.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
