Why does that remind me of those cartoons of Bloodhound dogs?

How odd - Volksy and I must have some kind of telepathic link. Tempo Matadors came up in conversation at the pub last night, and I was reading about that very same vehicle this afternoon. Volksy - let's do an experiment! This coming Friday evening, in the interests of science I shall again consume a vast quantity of McMullen AK. By about 1 am, I shall be sufficiently sodden to begin thought broadcasting (or at least to be convinced that I can do so), and will start to discuss obscure tat with my mate Adrian. Your task is to receive the shite-cast and post the subject here! You up for it?

I'll try, co-insidences seem to follow me around..Like dong the pub quiz, and a guy on the next team to us having exactly the same name as me, and my names pretty rare, and then after a bit of investigation learning that he was my second cousin.

Jeez, that's a lot of money... but a cool little truck.'Tempo Matadors came up in conversation at the pub last night'Sounds like a cool pub to me!

OK - my bit of the experiment is complete. What shite are you 'feeling' today, Volksy?

We were discussing the choice between Austin Maxi's and Austin Princesses, Think i'd go for a maxi

[Dead_E23]

Nope! Somewhat reassuringly, the experiment has failed. We started the evening by agreeing that Lunar Grey is undoubtedly the best colour for the Rover P6. After talking about some non-car stuff and consuming beer, we moved on to speculating about the shitiest car I could buy for my beloved without her noticing anything was 'up'. I thought I could probably get away with a Wartburg Knight Tourist , but Adrian thought a Suzuki X90 might be achievable. (We won't be finding out - there's no way I'd want to borrow that!)ETA: I would probably choose a Maxi too, but a Morris 1800 wedge could be quite tempting. My brother once had one in truly evil condition and it was a fab car until it blew up.
