[Michel]

You owned a spitfire?

A non flying one ... we were (a mate and I ) dabbling with the tought of using the engine in a Hot Rod project....

thank goodness it never got of the ground... (pardon the pun )

I saw Rod's (a good mate from way back) 55 at the SummerNats a few years ago and he did start it and run it and it was awesome...

The sound is mesmerising...

I love it...

 

[GreaseMonkey]

Ah, um, oh
er............
I thought you meant TRIUMPH Spitfire.

WHAT A CAR!!!!!!

Every inch of it....

 

[Michel]

Lets be serious for a moment,

if every car on the road had a minium of a 27ltr, v12 in it, how many cars would be on the road?

1 in every 1,000 compared to now??

This would save the planet, keep the greenies happy, hug the trees and give Al Gore a big high 5.
Everyone else could just walk, thus cutting back on health attack cases in the hospitals and reducing our national health expenses.

everyone wins!

get the poor people back doing what they should be doing, walking, working hard in the fields, picking fuilt, planting potatoes, or whatever poor people do. leave the roads clear and free for the people who can afford to own real cars.

We do need a State to invade Sir Des.....
desperatly
