Cars and stuff

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Beauties, all of them. Astons are the most elegant sportscars of all!
They are, but the DBS (first series) is just so much more than a regular Aston, completely different from every other one, that's what makes it better than all the rest!

Have a guess what the S stands for by the way ;D

What's with making cars more "aerodynamic" ferfuckssake - they're not going to be going fast enough to make a blind bit of difference... :roll:
They keep getting rounder and rounder - soon we're all going to be rolling along in balls.
That's why I love this one:

And this one

There's a mat black one with black alloys driving about here, very nice!

and what mathematical fact does Aston Martin and Land Rover share?


both manufacturers can claim a minimum of 75% of all their product are still on the road, obviously LR have a few more tho!

Yet, when I drove longer distances the cars I saw having a breakdown matched a Merc-VW-BMW-VW-Merc-VW-BMW.. scheme. With BMW smoking from their bonnet rather often.
Forgot to reply to this bit earlier on :)

Of course you have to take into account there are far more German cars on the road than English/Italian (i.e. bad reputation) ones, so it might well be just the break down rate being worse. But then again it is a fable German cars are immune to breaking down/bad building quality/... I know loads of people with Volkswagens of which all sorts of bits just fall off, and when they go to the garage they find this 'normal' :eek: :roll: And on top of that they just lack the beating heart of English/Italian/... cars :twisted:

And I wondered if there were more Alfa owners out there as they take the same dedication to run as supporting a certain band :innocent:

That´s because jet engines are not allowed in street trafic, A car 20 yards behind you would melt...
;D
Edit: :lol: Several years ago a bloke I knew owned a Chevrolet Van with one of those noisy blubbery sounding exhausts that are a wee less than legal in Germany. No mufflers, just a straight tube that came out under the rear bumper. Okay, and the carburetor was adjusted less than perfect, it ran somewhat rich..
Then there was that tuned up Schiroko. It´s driver tried to asure his sportive attitude by getting close enough to be a trailer of the Chevy. That happened on a german motorway, shortly before they left it at an exit at well over 120Km/h. When they reached the exit, the guy in the Chevy took his foot of the accelerator which resulted in the engine blowing hot unburnt gasses out of the exhaust, and two long flames blowing into the VW´s plastic nose for several seconds.. I don´t know if it actually caught fire, it may just as well have molten..
:lol:
