It’s just you.
It’s just you.
One of my customers liked his Smart car very much, but sold it because he was constantly being harassed, usually by young men in large vans. He figured sooner or later some of them would cause an accident, with him at the receiving end.
Having done postal delivery in Copenhagen, Denmark for four decades, I can attest to the fact that the military and the postal service are where vehicles are put to the ultimate test. There were many good cars and vans (and a number that soon fell by the wayside), but the winner was the small Renault 4, which was all…
I’m guessing it is just a ‘different’ experience, that shouldn’t be compared to a motorcycle. I ride both solo and sidecar motorcycles, same brands respectively, and some of the actual riding is very different indeed. While you’re out in the air and still can enjoy the aesthetics of a motorcycle, you don’t lean a…
Speaking of KLM, the airline that since the 1920's has been good at transporting live animals; some years ago the airline sent out a message that they no longer would fly with primates. I imagine this was after yet another chimpanzee tore an airplane’s interior to pieces or something. Still I kept wondering who - or…
‘Clean me’ may be a common message on cars, especially in wintertime, but where I lived in NYC ‘I wish my wife was this dirty’ ran second place.
Years back I ended up with an international bunch of youngsters, where invariably the talk turned to politics. I told the Americans that if they felt the Bush-bashing got out of hand, they should just mention Berlusconi.
Given that the UK doesn’t actually have a constitution, he would get far with that argument.
Rode around Japan last year, with a friend on a rented Grom. The sidecar bike did 37 mpg, the Grom 166 mpg, mountain roads and city traffic notwithstanding. Wonderful little thing...
Preceding the hovercraft, cars could be flown across The Channel in a Bristol Freighter, albeit only two or three at the time.
During The Cultural Revolution in China, traffic lights weren’t placed upside down, but merely got a new, somewhat predictable meaning: It was now red for ‘go’.
On my honeymoon I rode over a steel grid bridge in Florida (can’t recall which one), the motorcycle weaving a bit because of the surface. Looking right down I could see the water some 120' below me, and to my right I could see where two spans of the bridge had collapsed not so long before. Only comfort is that when…
But why turn around at all, when the plane was almost halfway into the flight? The police could just as easily taken the streaker into custody at the destination, and the rest of the passengers would have gotten there in time.
Should make them all sound like whoopee cushions.....
Says so somewhere right in the bible-sized ‘terms and conditions’.
Baker did one of his cross-country runs on an unconventional small single cylinder Ner-A-Car motorcycle with hub steering front wheel. (https://silodrome.com/ner-a-car-vintage-motorcycle/)
Christopher Walken?
Ferrari 156 sharknose.
We have this one and we have the 11'8" bridge, but are there others like them out there, were people just never seems to learn?
Reminds me of how, half a century ago, the lap record on the Danish racetrack Jyllandsringen [The Jutland Ring] was going back and forth between gokarts and Yank tanks, usually Camaros. The Porsches and BMWs were a bit lost in that game.
