The world needs more Sceptics like us! Very well said mate.

"Don't correct me, you un-starred peasant!" would also have been an appropriate response.

You missed the bit about the Bell 525 being able to carry 16 passengers, and two crew members.

It was a warm summer in Budapest...

The bell 525 can carry 16 passengers and two crew.

Indeed, McLaren, amongst others, had a crack at it in the late 90s. Ross Brawn apparently said the following (about McLaren Mercedes, whilst he was Race Director at Ferrari):

What's next, Beryllium conrods on road cars?

My Stepdad had the UK-version Mondeo V6, with the same front end look and Duratec lump. A nice car all in all, electric everything and leather. Did seem a bit short on torque, but had a lovely muted snarl. A hugely underrated car at the time, and you can pick one up this side of the pond for maybe £500 these days.

I know a guy who had the opportunity to buy one for $6500 in 1976.

There's always the presumption that the driver has smoked the whole of Mexico before driving... you're allowed to have some alcohol in your system, so why not some weed instead? It's arguably a drug that makes you way less reckless than alcohol, anyway.

The environment issue always gets me. If a doom-mongering eco-weenie comes on a news show, their views are inevitably reinforced by the interviewer using phrases like: "Studies have PROVED that...", or, "It has been VERIFIED that..."

HERE'S BORIS!

Sorry to be a pedant, but the Vanquish is a V12. You mean V8 Vantage, methinks.

So er, what the hell did she put on FB?

From what I remember, many law-enforcement agencies in the US use them. They are less likely to pass through a perp and hit a passer-by. That and their stopping power is immense. Some hunting grounds actually require hollow-point ammo, as it pretty much guarantees an animal will not escape after being injured.

ANd yet, walk around England wearing that and we'll call you a slutty whore...

Mmm...

The Fiat 500 lady looks just like an old flame I'm taking out tonight. 25, Italian blood (and looks)... perfect.
