    Cars are curvy now for quite a few reasons.

    My mate, who is a Doctor of Physics, reckons if they made a car with dimples all over the body like a golf ball the fuel consumption would improve enormously. but no-one would buy a car like that...

    Mind you, this is the same man who scoured the plans for the USS enterprise (Star Trek one) and concluded there is only one toilet on it, and they must have some other way of evacuating their bowels etc and the real bog is for emergencies...

    They are probably an aquired taste though.
    Seriously, it's like something from the 70's.

    This comes from a guy who put voluntarily into his profile that he is on a rug licking his balls...

    With this sort of taste it is no wonder you like Bristols

    No, that car's design is sh*t. Range Rovers are good, just shame they are now owned by foreign country.

    I quiet like it in this country because I don't have to pay attention to knuts who tell me to go somewhere else.
    Oh the ironing!

    Oh well.

    Last one out switch the light off.
    Shame to see this happen. I used to enjoy my time when at the "posh car place" and many of the skills these people had particularly in the coach building section will disappear.

    As for switching off the light... everyone's gone already and the light is on a timer to give the impression that someone's still here.
