Things that your car-addled brain misidentifies

[Twincam16]

Because we are all deeply infected with the virulent strain of petrocephalus, I've no doubt that, like me, you see non-car-related things and ascribe car associations to them.

For example, I've just popped out to lunch and seen some window cleaners using equipment from this company:



So I can only assume that their water hoses are powered by 4.4-litre V8s made in Munich.

Same goes for different versions of software. I'm currently using the 14.0-litre version of Microsoft Word.

I can't be the only one, surely?

I've thought the same about that logo for ages too.

I often remember numbers in terms of cars. If, for example, I had a hotel reservation number of 430823553352206920516, then I'd just picture four Ferrari 308s chasing a couple of 355s, a BMW 335i being raced off the lights by a hopeful Merc C220, but being beaten in the end by a couple of lesbians in a 205 1.6GTi

Very geeky, but extremely useful.

Glad I'm not the only one. Now these lesbians in their 205.... Pics?

It's a word processor with 14valves.
Used in the days before microprocessors.
