Passable if worn around the house but I fully expect to see their wearer getting out of a white Audi/ RR Sport/ X5 and heading into Nando's or the Trafford Centre.

(10) Driver has right hand at 10 o'clock on the steering wheel at all times

It’s called a “cripple hook”.

“Cripple Hook

Check the way that the driver of the next XR2 or Nova you see is driving. He/she will be leaning forward with one hand on the steering wheel at the 12 O clock position. The wrist will be in a similar pose of a stereotypical homosexual man with weak wrists or suprisingly enough:- a cripple. This is the "cripple hook" presense of this indicates the driver will be up for a race.”

I often wonder how they'll open the door after the airbag has gone off, their wrist has broken and they've knocked themselves out.

I was reminded today, that someone I know took his dog to the police, claiming it was a stray,
after a weeks holiday, he collected it from the kennels,

cheaper than putting fido in boarding,

Whoever bought the pink Range Rover that was once owned by a certain ex model in the Matthewsons Auction must be council

And very brave. Unless they intend breaking it and selling the bits to her fans.

Does that not say 12 o clock and leaning forward? Not being able to read = council

I'd imagine it has been bought by one of those ancestry websites, the amount of DNA in one go would save them thousand in sending out kits.

Knuckle-draggers with jet skis.

They are good fun though. I go through phases of wanting one, getting one, and then hating myself and getting rid. I have to say though, I feel far less of a tt on one than I do with a boat, outboard and ski/biscuit/donut trailing off the back. I live near the coast, I do a lot of watersports/activities - is it that wrong to want these toys to enjoy the area?

Caveat - where I go to play isn't a popular beach area, and I'm a keen kayaker, so enjoy the tranquility too.

There is a tragic side to all this, buying a jet ski and on your first go, crashing and killing yourself.

I asked someone at LR about her pink monstrosity and apparently they refused to provide her with a factory pink one, so it is a wrap.

Not sure what the value of a normal one is, but maybe whoever bought it will unwrap it, soon as they have it cleansed of body fluids/cocaine/ bogeys.

had to re-read that - initially didn't realise 'her pink monstrosity' was referring to the RRS

That's the real problem with jetskis. Too cheap and easy to get into, so get used by the untrained and unwary. Regarded as a toy to let your teenager use, ignoring harbour speed limits etc.Sometimes with tragic results.
Most people take larger power craft more seriously.

Edit to add. Not suggesting all users fit that description.

Same applies to quads and motocross bikes in the inland council areas.
