So, how does this work? They’re not selling the drugs that they seize, so it’s not like they can use them to pay off the cost of the ship...

This sounds uncomfortable:

Yeah, I’m allergic to cat hair, so it’s not as though we can share the same vehicle...

It’s OK, I always carry spare smoke to fill it back up with.

I’m happily drive around in them, and point and laugh back at the people pointing and laughing. I need help.

I’d happily park one next to my imaginary Testarossa, Rolls Royce Camargue and Lamborghini LM002. All fabulous cars (and really bad ideas at the same time).

I wanted the 1:6 scale version from the moment I saw it in the Tamiya catalogue. This is a fantastic opportunity to obtain a 1:1 version.

Auto Xtreme Collision Center could not be more appropriately named for this event.

Almost.

De Tomaso Pantera. Not unusual to see/hear in Japan without any silencing in the exhaust...

Standing too close to some of the Soundvans can cause serious hearing damage. I saw one there which registered 130Db. My colleague stayed well back with this fingers in his ears, explaining that he needed his hearing for his job. The wuss.

How about now?

My head hurts...

Nice Price, mainly for the “Rip Van Wankel” description.

Not before the turbo, always after it. It only attaches directly to the engine if there is no turbo fitted. I’m sorry if that wasn’t clear.

They used to be always under the floor, but manicats (manifold catalytic converters) are more common nowadays for regular cars, as the light-off time is reduced and hence they can get working more quickly and efficiently. As the name implies, they bolt right onto the engine (or turbo, where fitted).

William Fichtner is a winner of the Long Beach GP Celebrity Toyota races, so there’s that...

The link states that he wasn’t born there. Northamptonshire is a little too far from the Irish sea for pirates to successfully kidnap people from.

St. Patrick, considered the patron saint of Ireland, was actually born in Banna Venta Berniae, a town in Roman Britain (which now lies in the Northamptonshire region of England) sometime in the late 300s AD

I was wondering about the shamrocks. I thought it was a bit early for St Patrick’s day.
