All I need now is for the vendor of that car to actually tie-down a time and day for a viewing. I'm wondering if he really wants to sell it...

Isn't the point of these that they are meant to be a bargain? £4k buys a lot of better cars IMO

I reckon there's a credible thesis to be made about unclean people getting to drive all the best cars.

Allow me to elaborate (you may as well, since I'm going to anyway). Race drivers sweat buckets; great big secreted lashings of yesterday's champagne laced with a sour amphetamine residue, and the quickest F1 cars are no doubt those equipped with quick-release bilge tanks. Clarkson obviously whiffs a bit - you can tell just by looking at him - and Harris must get a bit moist around the nether follicles on occasion. I can practically smell the rancid seeping off the actor that plays Mike Brewer before the Youtube stream has finished buffering, and I bet Quentin Wilson is a right stinker underneath the Penhaligons. In the 21st century, even mucky fairground tinkers have a stolen humid S-class with air-conditioning that "needs regas".

The obvious small-mind-blowing question being: do they drive all the best cars because they stink, or does driving all the best cars make them stink?

I'm going to embrace empiricism, stop taking baths and see how it works out. Let me know if the stench drifts across the channel, and I'll show you a picture of me, reeking, in a GT40.




cmoose, I'm excluding you from my shoddy and woefully under-developed exposé, because a) I like your posts and b) you don't drive *all* the best cars yet. You'll probably get progressively filthier as your career advances and you buy more Mercedes-Benzes.

Somewhat relevantly, I've recently invested wasted a not inconsiderable amount of time absorbing the Biker Banter forum. Not only has this surreptitiously instilled my present fixations on cleanliness and Triumph Thruxtons, but it has made it clear that here, in the cosy and genteel confines of The Thread, not nearly enough effort is directed towards mickey-taking, piss-ripping, baseless accusations of sexual non-conformity or general Internet insulting of people we've never met in real life.

Stitch that, you pungent granny-fiddling knob-jockeys.

Do it.
The French highwaymen, pun intended, want €300 and full bike gear for their CBT equivalent. Robbing bds.
Strong money to find out whether I hate it/suck at it/am a trembling flower.

Then again, my robust fear of death, disfigurement and maiming is waning in the face of the want. Did I mention this?



I could borrow a lid, jacket and gloves for the day... scratchchin

1/10. You've got the right idea but you lack conviction, poopy-hands.

...whereas I bet you've got loads of previous convictions and all the wrong ideas, skanky-trousers.





P.S.:



Y'know, I think I could look at that all day, and still not get bored.
