Yes dear. That’s nice. I guess you haven’t realised I don’t engage yet.

Aw, bless.

He doesn’t actually *drive* them, or particularly enjoy driving, and he certainly doesn’t work on them, he’s admitted it himself.

As far as I’m concerned, a car enthusiast should enjoy at least driving and/or working on cars. Buying a car and keeping it in an air conditioned garage until it doubles in value doesn’t…

He’s not a car guy. He’s a guy that collects Ferraris and paints them white. The two are entirely different things.

As a person of the UK, I can assure you we’ve been saying this about Chris Evans for the last twenty-odd years. His shouty, in-your-face schtick was tedious by the mid-90's.

What annoys me even more is that he’s not even a car guy, he’s just a guy that collects Ferraris and paints them white.

Woohoo! I got in!

Putting up the story reminded me to dig out the vinyl. It still holds up musically!

I thought people were protesting about the police in the USA being *too* intimidating? At least this way they’ve got cute cuddly cars.

They’ll still shoot you rather than ask questions, but y’know, baby steps.

Pay for my flights and I’m there, internet stranger!

Don’t think BS&Q was out at this point, or I’d not got it yet (I had to import a lot of vinyl from the USA, as our record shops were shit), but I certainly picked it up eventually.

Forgot to mention: ‘Butthole Surfers’.

Great band, New York Hardcore Punk!

Back in the late 80's, I had my first car stolen, a Mk2 Ford Escort (I live in the UK, and back then in a fairly small town). At the time, these things were worth next to nothing, but you could unlock and start them with a spoon handle, so I had a hidden fuel cut-off switch fitted under the dash. Anyone nicking it…

I’m guessing the Judge will argue that it breaks down less often than the genuine article, and so actually increases JLR’s prestige in Chinese markets.

I lived through the 70's, it’d be nostalgic.

eBay. Sold my last ten or so cars and bikes on there, never had a problem. List it with lots of photos, allow viewings, sold as seen and take a deposit at the auction end.

“I got a call on Friday night to say that the Prime Minister was on his way round to look at one of our cars,”

I’m guessing because it would make the actual location of the plane crash far more difficult to find. By the time teams found it, it could have floated several hundred miles away at least. Currently the beacon locates the crash site as well as the data recorder.

Miata. Just don’t get it. Looks like a baguette, drives like a medium sporty car. Nothing special about it whatsoever.

The main thing is that apart from the motorways (freeways!) most of our road is based on a system of cart tracks put down as needed several thousand years ago, and vaguely upgraded over time. Hence it has many, many corners, and curves around obstacles that haven’t been there *for millennia* on occasion. Face it,…
