Following on from this, after a particularly heavy session at a conference myself and four colleagues found ourselves at the McD Drivethrough on the A4 at Heathrow at 4am and were told that we had to be in a car, whereupon we formed ourselves up 2 in front 3 behind, 'driver' with imaginary steering wheel and then 'drove' up to the window (with sound effects), and did all our orders through the driver - guy was laughing so much he had to serve us !!!
- i have done the very same thing but only with 2 of us!! The one right by the hotels for Heathrow airport on the A4
I used to make a trip to the Ferrari garage in Manchester a few times a year to dribble over the exotica.
You all know the ambience in one of these garages is very quiet and respectable....then some walks in and starts talking loudly...
"look at this luv, 456GT (pointing at a 550), dont like that. Prefer the 360, its 4x4"
Painful, i was so close to going over to tell him a few facts!

'front-wheel drive cars will always go faster than rear wheel drive cars, and handle better, 'cos it's being pulled, not pushed'
I got the same thing from a max muppett at work. "rwd cars dont go round corners, they just spin!"
I always answer along the lines of 'rwd spins, fwd ploughs into walls - which one would you rather have?'
Indeed.
FWD = Go into hedge forwards
RWD = Go into hedge backwards

I am embarrassed to admit that myself and a colleague did precisely the same last Thursday, at the very same McD's as Shnozz

It seems the MacD's at Heathrow is quite popular!
I have an image of you all lined up waiting in the drive-through lane
Young lad on the bus mid in full flow conversation (learnt more than I ever needed to know about drugs in thirty minutes) with his pal about the best way to take laughing gas and if it beats bubble suddenly starts moaning about being skint and asking how he can save money...
I'm not a financial expert but maybe lay off the drugs.... (Unfortunately his mate didn't say that).
