Sitting in the M5 holiday traffic jams yesterday I started looking at the names caravan makers give to the products they sell to weekend gypsies. They are either totally misguided or strongly ironic.

We saw - in order of increasing irony
The Reflection Mint
The Valencia
The Vogue GTS
The Buccaneer Corsair
The Swift
The Ralleye 650
The Cyclone
The Crusader Tornado
Hurricane GTS

And the ultimate irony

The Firestorm!

Personally the firestorm is what I would like to deliver to all of them

SO you were sat in a Traffic Jam, caused by sheer weight of traffic, and blaming the also stationary Caravans? Seems harsh.

The only time you will catch me holding traffic up, is if someone is holding me up. Even then the last time we came home I was told as I was passing an old chap in a Yaris that I could not overtake... I think you'll find that I can!

PS - ours is called a Sprite!
No I wasnt blaming the caravans on the motorway, that was just caused by everyone, on the narrow lanes of north devon though - that is another matter, we followed something along the lines of a "Pacific Luxury" down lanes that were far to narrow for it at 10mph for about 35 minutes!

There was also the usual summer season collection of overturned ones on the M5 near Droitwich

I would have been but you already claimed it when you started the thread.
I do belive that you have had a sense of humour bypass and this thread is not for you. Please go elsewhere where you will fit in better. Thanks

I've got a Sterling Eccles Amethyst 90th Aniversary Edition to give it it's full moniker. Struggling to find anything remotely amusing about it to be honest!

I think you need to change it for a Mega Death Monster Eater - clearly this hasn't been made yet, but it can't be long before it is smile
