Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

When I asked my wife if she had ever been picked up by the Fuzz, she said no, but admitted, that as a student, she was once swung around by the t*ts!

Time to change MOT guy then. Most transits get a "Postal MOT" anyway
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

I reckon that even the most French of CT testers might know the difference between a small, mid engined two seater from Japan and a Ford commercial vehicle from the local compound.

You need to eloquent yourself a little more clearly, too much Merlot perhaps. mr 2 comes across as mister two, from which two things can be assumed. Deux Chevaux, that most Gallic of clapped out motoring, or Mr Merde, which amounts to the same thing. What's that? You meant a Toyota MR2? But that's a big boy's toy.
