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!)

It's not that every car you buy is rubbish rich, it's that through your ownership every car becomes rubbish ;)
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.

Fear not, I found an ideal vehicle for you, Rich, and it can't end up looking like a skip, because it is one:

Ah, hadn't thought of that. :lol: Allow me to suggest a more practical form of transport, yet strangely similar:

:lol: Cheers, Rich, I've asked the guy for the phone number of the ex, sounds like my kind of lass.

Oh wait, she's probably diseased by now, forget it. :x
