Sorting through some old Classic Car mags when I was shocked to see this article on a Chim. Has Simon decided to move to the dark side?

Paul,
How very dare you! nono
I think our Simon is made of sterner stuff than that.

I think the most likely explanation is that he was leading a small section of valiant Rebel S-Force freedom fighters in a daring attack against a vastly superior Empire strike flotilla, and caused such carnage & confusion that they retreated in total disarray to their mother ship, leaving behind many badly damaged X-Wing attack craft.


One of them was sporting the now legendary identification number of TVR 23, and Simon says ( wink ) that 23 has always been his lucky number so he nicked it as plunder and attached it to his own S-Craft as a defiant gesture to the Dark Side and the evil Empire.

Just ask Yoda ears



Edit: IIRC, this was shown in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Colons.

The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is.

Sometimes young Steve, the key to the future lies in the past:



Too late already it may be. frown Beware the power of the Dark Side! ears

" Nice one Shaun! Picked one of these up myself earlier in the year..." nono

When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back.

The Green Phantom Menace!

A very nice colour it is...

And it has at least got the redeeming features of lovely V8S OZ Racing split rim alloy wheels.

If only the roof was removeable..... Oops! The power of the Dark Side was very strong just then! eek
