k I killed the thread with morse code messages about dog farts 
And conveniently killed it for the precise length of my postprandial (and wine) snooze, so thank you k I killed the thread with morse code messages about dog farts 
Chunji's responses in the Ignis thread are killing me
And the nicking of questions from the Phlegm thread
Speaking of the future... Something occurred to me today.
You know the bit in Back to the Future when Marty McFly says 'Let's see if you b@stards can do 90'?
They didn't need to do 90. All they needed to do was stop, aim and fire. The rocket would have done the best part of 300mph probably.

Had this conversation with my Dad today over Sunday Lunch.
Was Marty McFly's engine a proper Volvo or a generic GM product?
Okay, some of the aftermarket parts weren't true Halford's catalogue listings, but you have to ask.
I read an interesting bit on the Delorean on Thursday (while standing beside one). Apparently the original design brief was to make a sports car for 'larger stature' people. They are pretty wide cars. Horrendously underpowered without having two fatties in it too.Was Marty McFly's engine a proper Volvo or a generic GM product?

Delorean sent the car to Lotus and they had to re-engineer it.
It's a sad day when lotus are putting cars together better than you are!
Just been reading wiki, I never knew they were based on the esprit platform and apparently the prototypes handled very well until DMC raised the front ride height and ruined themIt's a sad day when lotus are putting cars together better than you are!
