Holy mother of something

Isn't that what anyone would do, if they found themselves in possession of a couple of barrels off a radial aircraft engine?

Be rude not to. I saw the Viper engined 'bike at the NEC this weekend. Beast



For some odd reason Thumbsnap has made it drive off a cliff though

I'd have said 'Yes, and it does 70mpg' just to take the piss.

At least once a week, without fail, I hear a comment from across the office..

Whenever a visitor parks in one of the bays under the office window in a 3 Series, C Class, A4 etc.. the 'bloody hell, posh car for so-and-so', or 'you can tell they're on a right whack driving around in Beemers..'

We have Golfs and Insignia company cars. We also have the option of a car allowance, which could be used to easily procure one of those cars, if only they knew

I suspect this is one of the reason's my employer doesn't allow a car allowance unless you're very high up the grade scale, and even then it's pitiful for the position. So if you have to have a car for work, it's join the fleet of Vauxhall.

"Does it go round corners well?"

My (lovely, so I forgive her, just) passenger after 20 mins.

It's a Caterham.

That's when you promptly give a demonstration of the cornering capabilities that a Caterham has. They'll get their answer!

You drove for 20 minutes in a straight line? Where are you; Montana?

"You drove for 20 minutes in a straight line? Where are you; Montana?"

Between Brussels and Gent on the motorway.... So not far off, corner wise!

Mods, move this if there is a suitable thread please. SWMBO wants a new phone so we go to Orange. She has no clue so I give her what help I can (I'm not that great with technology). She chooses the phone and while she's buying I explain that it is cordless. "That's useful" she says. Today she came home saying that it won't work in the car because the car doesn't have Wi-Fi.
