"They all do that, Sir."

 

Not the old car anymore.

 

I got that line stuck in my head, desperately trying to work out what
it was until I gave in and googled. It made me cry, a little.

 

Eat a pie, a little.

 

To be fair, it takes about 20 years to happen.

 

Like Shaguars?

0.95p / litre? Blimey, I'm glad I don't live where you do.

Start getting used to it, I heard of it at 97p/l in Thurrock last week.

 

Well indeed. Comparing an overweight pile of rusting shite like an old
Shaguar to a tubular framed, fibreglass panelled race chassis is a bit
stupid I'd agree. Although my TVR does use the Jag rear limited slip diff
and driveshafts.

 

Excellent delivery of the feedline from the resident expert on
outdated machinery.

 

Outdated maybe, but fun, cheap to insure, and easy to work on.

 

We'll have n.nn.9p instead - which doesn't seem any better to me.

.....which it frequently needs

 

What 20 year old vehicle doesn't?

Would you like that 900ss I was offered? It's too small for me.

 

Verdigris says...

But when talking about cars, the mere mention of the word "shite"
instantly brings up an image in my head of most British cars. The
exception to this is when SteveH is involved in the thread, and then
it's whatever he's driving at the time.

 

It's the new improved inculpable Bear,
Spreading light and happiness everywhere,
Better than the old with smilies,
Just like the wily crocodilies.

 

None.

 

ok, so you wouldn't mind if we scrapped VAT and fuel duty, and had,
say, a 60% base rate of income tax?
