And then the required "Hey, that is cool! Good for you (insert dwellar he is trying to ingratiate himself to)! lest we don't get to hear what a really great guy he is.

I'm with you beest. Cars, like houses, need a personality. I didn't care for my rental. For one thing it drove like crap even though it had all the bells and whistles.

Pipply o' mipply!

Chickas seem to be drawn to the smurly mobly dinna ken?

Espo if the parto of the man is the pasture paker!

Caterham 7?
Not Googled, just the only car I know which ends in a 7.

maybe a point for that, it's got a big 7 on the front.\

Trick is when I was looking for a picture of the style of car I liked I didn't google the car, I googled the name of a person.

Who's car is that a replica of

Sundae · 06-06-2012, 11:42 AM

I will take my point gladly - I am saving them up you know.
I don't claim to know anything about cars, so yes, the seven was a big clue.
BTW, the Aston in Aston Martin comes from Aston Clinton, just outside of Aylesbury (where I live).
It has a steep hill on which they used to test cars. And when I lived in London I used to test mine on the way home; A41 to get on the M25 and I only had a 1l Nissan Micra.

No searching needed re the famous Caterham.
He's a free man, not a number.

So you new that answer instantly, but hought it was too obvious and looked for a harder answer.

I think that qulaifies for the 10.

Not sure what the conversion is to get your own nerd, or a blender.

My Westfield (an SEiW). I loved it but sadly it had to go to a new home...

Lotus Seven, Beest.

I guess that one is a Lotus, anyway I've driven one, probably too small for me and uncomfortable anyway .

...and happy to be back in my van this afternoon. Had to pull weeds without my wheelbarrow, though -go job it's been dry recently

monster · 06-06-2012, 09:26 PM

maybe that's where the Lotus Position came from?

Rhianne · 06-06-2012, 09:28 PM

The one in the picture is a Caterham, McGoohan's was a Lotus. Caterham itself changed ownership last year.

monster · 06-06-2012, 09:33 PM

I don't even want to think about the Caterham position......

Sundae · 06-07-2012, 07:21 AM

All I can suggest is that they don't go into providing buffets for Bar Mitzvahs or Asian Weddings.
