Put another way - “Mr. Diesel - is there anything you *wouldn’t* do to milk the F’n’F franchise one year longer? Do you worry that it will eventually overshadow your other monumental Hollywood successes?”

Painted into a corner due to numbers inflation. It *has* to have a 2 litre engine because heritage, but it *has* to have well into 500+ hp because dick measuring, but it has to meet emissions, and it has to be serviced slightly less often than you fill it up…

I take comfort in the fact that, pretty soon, edgy young-gun filmmakers are going to be taking pot-shots at Tarantino for cheap publicity, and his responses will be laughed off as an old fuddy-daddy yelling at the clouds.

I’m looking forward to not being able to remember this guy.

Just ‘sell’ it to a buddy in Florida, who ‘sells’ it to a buddy in Texas, who then sells it to a sucker online with a 90-minute warranty. Poof! No flood damage… *recorded*.

I suspect there’s a quiet pardon in the works when the right people are in office.

“Hah! Only a flesh wound, by Jove, although it somehow caused me to age a couple of years and my hair to change colour!”

Fans of classic British sci-if remember the last episode of Blake’s Seven, with most of the main cast dead or seriously injured, and Kerr Avon smiling enigmatically before fading to black with the sound of blaster fire...

It comes with a free practice wall for all of you rock climbers.

Let’s ask all American politicians, “Are you a Christian *first* or an American *first*? Is your primary loyalty to the Church or to the country?”. (This, based on the understanding that there are no non-Christian American politicians, of course)

I advocate for a graduated license limiting power-to-weight ratio of vehicles you can operate. Learners and newly-licensed drivers, up to 100 bhp per ton.
