My comment will have to wait as they have some really *really* crappy wifi here, and some serious DNS issues. Like I can resolve SM, but not Google.....

...and my inability to copy this as a photo rather than web address.

Almost all comments have been positive and fromnall age groups - the request to “Rev it ! “ spans all age groups too.

Most common comment though is “ don't you need a front number plate?†or “where is you front number plate? “

I was very confused in France in the 4200 once. Someone stopped on the roundabout to look at the car......

I've an explanation for that......the driver heard the exhaust bangs, parps, crackles and pops.

Clearly he thought it was gunfire and being French got out to surrender :thumb1:

Reminds me of the old joke. Notice. French rifles for sale. Never fired. Only dropped once.

I've had that. I sometimes instruct off-road activities and one of the vehicles we have are those Polaris mud-buggies. Epic machines, but they can really get some loud backfire. A group of inner-London black lads had come along as guests and all spontaneously dropped to the ground thinking it was a gang shooting about to kick off.

Haha,
2 months ago we were having dinner in a rather swanky country house near Berwick, and I heard a "gentleman" - you know the type - upper class Scots announce to his dinner guests,

"Bloody French, they had more casualties in the last world cup than they had in the war"

I thought of Benny and started chuckling...got the look from SWMBO...

A couple of 'ladies' in Tesco's car park muttered 'p3nis enlargement' as I passed them........

There was a 1980 TV series called 'Chancer' where the two enemies met - Piers was driving a very flash car. Steve said "You must have an extremely small p*nis to need a car like that." And Piers drawled in response "Stephen, if you have a car like this, you don't really need a p*nis."

Used to enjoy that - good cast. Leslie Phillips particularly. " Poppet"

Priceless! I'll remember that. Thank you. :smile:

Didn't it have Clive Owen as the main character?

I remember the very attractive you lady in it. Susannah Harker!
