breakdown truck

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!)

ROAD TRIP!
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.

(Sorry fella, but....)

Then there's the following William, not one of ours but he spends most of his time in the UK and that's good enough:

You'd get thae three in the boot of a Cortina, no need to attract attention with a huge, classic 4x4. 8-)
