Thanks, not a lot of colloquialisms I’ve never run across, but this one was definitely one I’ve only ever come across in this specific setting, ie Clarkson saying it on Top Gear.  So I’ve always wondered.

I am well aware I am in a small minority, but I’ve loved this shape/stance since the Z3M Clown Shoe.

So much drama coud have been avoided if the guy was familar with the word ‘maneuvering.’

The charges were motivated by a violent death.

My axe and I stand with Buick of Riviera!!

Stephen Tow-LOW-BOWSKI, . . . I mean it’s written right on the screen . . .
