Held up by a caravan with a STUPID name

[DickyC]

Marauder. I ask you.

Tell me how much marauding you're going to be doing over the next few days, would you? Because currently you are holding everyone up in your newish Jaguar pulling a caravan named Marauder at 35mph on a straight road with double white lines in perfect conditions and not marauding one little tiny bit.

Eric Bloodaxe you are not.

He is only doing 35 MPH I am sure it is quite easy to use PH on his phone at that speed.

I can text using my phone up to speeds of 78 MPH but it starts to get a bit dodgy after that.

Makes a change from the normal 'Swift' or 'Rapide'

No it is not, you .

[The Nur]

I wasnt going to criticise him for it, I was going to say its a measure of how slow the caravan is 'marauding' across the country that he can post and drive. Nevermind

No, I'm back in the bosom of my wife's bosom being comforted, "There, there," style after being marauded all over by a caravan.

Ever tried it at 88MPH ?

I have but I almost ran an old women over while she was using the zebra crossing.

Whilst going through a 20MPH zone outside a school for blind, deaf, disabled orphans.

Dolly Parton had a bosom and she wasn't fat.

Its dangerous using electrical devices at 88mph if you have a flux capacitor in the car you could well go back to the future.

Did she have a bosom of a bosom though?

Surely the worst name for a Caravan is 'Mistral GT'.

Perhaps Maserati should sue them.

This is a Mistral GT:

Mrs Dicky has what would once have been called an hour-glass figure. I'm a lucky chap.

"There, there."

"And then the nasty man in the Marauder slowed down even more."

"There, there."

I wonder if caravans are weak enough that you could just drive into one to clear the view a bit.

True, but technically VW own the Mistral name now somehow. That's why the 3200 was called the 3200 and subsequently 4200 too. IIRC they wanted to call them the Mistral GT, but couldn't. Shame.

I thought they would have done a Peugeot style blanket (of 3 numbers with a 0 in the middle) and kept all the hot winds they could get their hands on.

Odd caravan names? I give you the Weltbummler

Yeah - never quite understood that. It's the reason why there are both Maseratis and VWs called Bora. Last Maserati to be named after a wind was the Shamal of the early '90s, but VW had had wind-related names for years before then - Scirocco, Corrado, Santana, Jetta, Passat, even 'Golf' is German for 'Gulfstream'.

Welt = world
Bummeln = to stroll

Weltbummler = world stroller.

Quite poetic really, in a logical Teutonic sort of way
