I think Donnie took a good swing* at describing Junior and Eric - to my mind, they’re pretty indescribable.
A minor distinction at best - shite is shite, regardless of the container it’s in
Poor guy looks like Deputy Dawg dressed as a stockbroker
“...but character still does matter”
I’m sure they do - which is why I said almost no mainstream manufacturers were doing steel anymore. Steel is still out there, but in 30 years, it went from the 800lb gorilla in the frame world to lurking at the outskirts, while CF frames, once the preserve of exotic uber-manufacturers, have become commodities. Every…
As do I. Mine is from ‘95. Almost no mainstream bike manufacturers are building steel frames any more. 30 years ago, when 90%* of bikes - high, low and mid-range - were steel, no-one would have foreseen steel becoming a niche material, but it did, and it is.
I think you’ll be able to buy a IC-powered car then the same way you can buy a vinyl record now - sure, they’re be available, but they’ll be a niche product, and there’ll be a price to pay for that “nicheness”. 30 years ago, steel was the mainstream go-to material for bicycle frames, with aluminum and titanium in…
Brands will distinguish themselves as they have done forever - they’ll sell on the basis of “lifestyle”, exclusivity, image. Most people never look under the hood of their cars and even if they did, they’d be confronted by an anonymous sheet of plastic. If you “skinned” a BMW and a Toyota and placed the rolling…
Yeah it looks retractable. I thought that pedestrian safety regs did away with hood ornaments. Does anyone know if these ornaments high-speed retract in the event of a collision? RRs and Bentley’s are the only current makes I can think of that have significant hood ornaments, and they’re all retractable. Is this an…
Back in the day, a juvenile delinquent friend of mine amassed a significant collection of car badges, courtesy of a flat head screwdriver he carried everywhere. However, however hard he pried/tried, he could never “liberate” a Rolls hood ornament*. Those things were well secured, and I imagine this Bentley ornament is…
George could’ve claimed tooth splinters, but he didn’t.
Sorry, but Trumpton is already taken - and Chigley or Camberwick Green just won’t do
A horde of gilets jaunes is looking pretty good round about now...
Well, I know I’m fucking tired.....
If he wasn’t so dangerous, Donnie would be occasionally hilarious. I’m seeing a reality show of Donnie stumbling around America, giving his streak-of-consciousness commentary on everything. Donald Trumps America (they’re all saying so)
A Ferrari collection?
They’re all friggin loud - a few years ago I was in Pittsburgh, minding my own business, and a couple of F-18s flew over maybe a couple of thousand feet up. Not going particularly fast or anything, but the ground shook
Damn, if I was stinking rich, I would so buy that thing. I saw Concorde a few times when I spent summers in Reading, west of London I used to fly over, high enough that the noise wasn’t serious, but low enough the see it clearly - even as just a small blip in the sky, it was mesmerizing. A few years ago, I was taxiing…
Mustang punching way above its weight - should stick with pedestrian bystanders
