This is funny, I love the quote from the Ferrari guy, He must be a part time comedian smile....

"Peter Everingham, secretary the Ferrari Owners Club, said: "Nearly 90 per cent of people who buy Ferraris are married so they are not looking to impress women by buying their car."

To be fair, most of the FOC membership is married. Not everyone with a Ferrari is a member though, so non-member motives are of course less gentlemanly! wink Not the first time I've been wound up by David King; I really do think he's more politician than scientist eg swallowing all that Prius rubbish.

This subject of cars attracting women always makes me laugh. Driving a Ferrari gets you far more attention from men....

I have corrected what I think was a mistake. you don't want to be done under the Trades Descriptions act (or weights and measures)

as an FOC member since the age of 21, I can concur with that statement. In fact, I used to borrow a mates white escort van in which to pick up first dates - it worked well at filtering out any gold diggers.

hi beau, how are you ?

'twas no holiday, i'll tell you.
we got lost returning from le mans and ended up in the south of france.
then to make matters worse, just as we arrived at the paris hotel, a bus load of horny air hostesses from kazakstan airways, turned up.
how unlucky is that ?

Good thanks Dave.
Sounds a complete nightmare - glad you made it through the ordeal.
Can I assume you will be doing your utmost to avoid such a catastrophe next year ?

Got my first Ferrari only because my Wife insisted I should buy it. Good lass eh? wink

Actually she made a good point, that Veggies like her are more environmentally friendly than any smegging Prius. I mean if we all ate Vegetables there would be less demand for those b*stard cows that chuff their guts out all day destroying our Planet and our Ozone. wink

Anyway, I think the Scientist is p1ssed off that he took the wrong job option when he left school. Anyone got a picture of his Wife? wink cough
