The rear end of the "kit car".

The Lamborghini factory museum lacks character but the amazing cars on display make up for it.

Well, it's certainly going to need some work. Looks like a fair amount of Mk1 Granada bits around the back, getting hard to find these days. That old AC Delco fuel pump looks a bit vulnerable too, that'll need to be moved...

A trivial fact about Wyoming.

Wyoming has an area 4,000 square miles larger than the entire UK.
The UK is home to 53 million people.
Wyoming is home to 600,000 people.
More Wyoming trivia.

"That 70s show" is set in Wyoming.

I looked up the show to see when it was current.

98 to 06 FYI.
'Longmire' is set in Wyoming but they film most of it in New Mexico. Trivial.

Was one of the tracks on Tubular Bells the theme from 'The Exorcist'? Clangy, jangly synth music.

That is correct.

What theme do you use when concealing those elephants, pray tell?

I like to spontaneously write and perform jingles for people entering rooms. They do all sound a bit sixties pirate radio but a surprising number of recipients seem pleased.

For example, when you appeared I might burst out with a jingle-icated: Hi d'the eller funts!

You'd be chuffed with that, right?

Did you not see my contributions to that.

Stupid thread is stupid.

No idea what he wanted,got frustrated and left him to it.
aah i got too focused on the idiocy hehe

Currently the dear man is trying to argue that an F40 is more like a le-mans/Ford GT type car then a ferrari, because real Ferrari supercars look like the stuff which came before, like a 308 (despite the fact that the 308 looks nothing like previous Ferraris)

As long as you realize the dude is off his rocker/a troll, great fun! I wonder where he will try to argue the daddy of all supercars, the miura should fit, im guessing its "porsche like" according to him, because curves rofl

Just asked mr "the f40 doesnt look like a ferrari" what a miura looks like to him hehe

Im seriously laughing my ass off reading up on his two threads, the never ending goal post moving and "im not having an argument, you guys are all just wrong" stancing is excellent.

I could wade in Vittie me old mucker, but I know nothing about supercars and don't really give a tinkers toss about the overpriced tts playthings. So it probably wouldn't help....

Neither does the OP there hehe

And given how he plays fast and loose with his own rules all the time, im sure you could somehow make an argument to fit a gantry crane in there to get him twisting jester

Looks like Italian curves to me not German.

We could send in the gantry hit squad to discuss supercargo handling and design, but the confusion would be err confusing.

What does a picture of a gorgeous blonde have to do with a lambo miura?

Morning all. Not had a look at the fence at all yet, just catching up on a bit of post-holiday admin.

This sports car business, I looked in on the offending topic on the way back from the newsagents - I thought it was quite amusing. By the way, that Miura isn't a sports car - it's a two door saloon confused I might take Penrose over there later, that'd liven things up a bit.

Anyhow, fruitcakes aside, anyone up to anything much today?

Actually, looking at the Miura saloon again, does it have eyelashes or is it an effect of this impact adhesive I'm using?

And I don't believe the 'blonde' is a real blonde at all - look at the length of her forearms?

This fence business - can you ignore the loose posts idea and tunnel under instead? If you work out the distance to the trees the other side it should work. I'll get Stitches McTaylor to run up a peasants outfit from sanitary towels dyed with tea so you'll fit in in the locality.
Alternatively there's the glider option we can get you some blueprints but you'll need a large attic.

Not jingles really, but my internal DJ typically has some easy listening playing at low volume, so tinkering with the bolide might be accompanied by some Herb Alpert, going to the shops may be done to the sound of Matt Monro and doing some tedious task like painting the engine room might get something upbeat and motivational like 'Music to watch girls by' or 'Impossible Dream'.

Miura have eyelashes; that Gandini was tripping, maaan. That doris is alarming, she appears to have been spraypainted.

Not sure about the tunnel, I do like the glider idea though. I could take the roof off the orangery and board over it to provide a flat working area?

I've not heard of it either. That's what Vitorio called it and I was just trying to sound knowledgeable...
