This bird was also shown outside so hopefully his wings are clipped. Even though a parrot may be loyal to his owners they are also PREY ANIMALS and that's why they are jittery... They can take off in a panic to evade, say, a hawk, and not know how to get back home. And being domesticated they won't know how to…

OK obviously none of you guys are parrot people.

Yet we hear the Top Gear presenters say "mate"... and "crickey"

Oh lord I thought you were being sarcastic and then I expended the picture

You realize they are MODELS and not car enthusiasts, right? You might as well ask the pimply faced kid selling popcorn at the movies what his opinion on screenwriting is.

A few years ago the people running Lincoln (into the ground, apparently) lamented that they were pinched into a corner because of Ford's ownership of Jaguar and Land Rover.

I've had an 86 Turbo since 2003. At first it was a basket case and it did strand me three times (including the dreaded timing belt failure). After a few years it's been pretty well sorted out and gasp, reliable. It's a pleasure but it's a love-hate relationship...

IMS bearing (holding up the far end of the camshaft). Porsche won't admit it's a flaw, but I'm thinking about a Coxster and this is just one of those things you need to know about.

Kadhaffi's killer says hi

I also like the subtle evolution of the logo for each generation

Wish mine had a hood ornament instead of the giant star grille and this

I always see a fish bowl

Yet it is dangerously close to "Vulva"

Right, if it's RPM/1000 then the gauge should go up to 7,000,000

Still V6, FWD, bicycle tires? Yup? I'll try again later.

That's part of my disdain for Honda/Acura. Skinny bicycle tires, V6 at max, and FWD.

Cue the discussion that car design peaked in the late 60s and everything since has been recycled from an old idea.
