Arrghh! IT'S Bernie & Leepu'S Congestion Buster car on ebay

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!)

:lol: Barf emoticon needed here!

On the bright side, at least two Corsa Bs, a Tigra and a Rascal van were destroyed in the making of this abomination so its Carbon footprint is massive compared to that involved in running anything old and not destroying it in the name of entertainment, which makes Bernie and Leepu look like a bigger pair of tits than the fat, greedy ones who take half a pound of nuts every night from my bird table.

Some good quotes

'The car needs a logbook applying and possibly SVA test, although I don't know how the law stands, but do your own research before buying.'


'The car needs finishing, the steering is a little on the medieval side and it lacks a full wiring loom, It does, however, start run and drive but I won't let you drive it away as it is dangerous to do so without full inspection or finishing.'

It's nothing that some fire couldn't fix improve

Shows how full of poo the show was when they said all their cars come SVA tested.
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.

The people purchasing the vehicles may well be genuine punters, just not at the moment they are "buying" a car on tv ;)

I always found it funny in the early series how wooden the prospective purchasers were when asking about exactly what they had fixed. It is as if it was scripted.
