Re: I should have a programme on Discovery People What Meddle With Cars

I'm more a guardian.

Why, have you got one too?

Not yet, but I'm strongly considering chopping in the Veyron and upgrading to one.

Oooh ooh, I've just remembered another, I was on my way to the seaside in my Cortina (in my youth) and the gearstick came off in my hand. I ended up fixing it by nicking some fencing wire and wrapping it round the gearstick and gearbox several times to hold it in place :)

May I remind you all (again) that I am a former custodian of a 4motion passat. All passatnoscenti will of course know that it has proper aluminium multi link rear suspension rather than **your** inferior torsion beam. Unless you can live up to that heady standard, I suggest you cease and desist with your Passat jive.

Carlsberg don't make cars etc.....

A tuned 200SX is what you want in that case, Shirley?

Is that it then, one doesn't do anything so vulgar as own a Passat, one just looks after it till it reaches its next custodian?

Pah! The Passat I'm custodian of doesn't even have suspension, it glides on a cushion of perfectly damped coin tray lids.
