Pineapple?

[stormee]

Hi Folks! I absolutely love pinapples, very healthy and delicious...

But! Would someone please explain to me the connection between pinapples and VWs? I really don't get it, is it about the shape or something?

Thanks in advance!

[garethj]

A while ago there was an '80s VW on ebay which had been ratlooked, it had the usual stuff of faked rust, loads of stickers and a roof rack filled with stuff.  One of the items on this roof rack was a pineapple.

 

From this, any old VW in original condition has been in danger, "I see a pineapple in this car's future " is a common statement.

 

Obvious, really

Thank you! One more thing, what has a 20p coin got to do with a handbrake?

[Junkman]

A white Piggo 405 was listed for what feels like a decade on ebay over and over again by a hilariously obnoxious dimwit.

His explanation for the handbrake not working was that a 20p coin had dropped into and got stuck in the lever mechanism.

[Partridge]

When it comes to real pineapples I don't like them. Sour, sugary spikey things. The VW boys can keep them, quite frankly.

[Junkman]

Pineapple can be eaten if there is enough gammon steak underneath it.

Or grilled when thoroughly wrapped in bacon.

Ah!

Sounds interesting.

We should open a recipe thread in the off section.

I've tried and failed to find a picture of Lenny Godber with a tin of pineapple under his hat.

If when having a meal & you have over eaten, eating some pineapple will alleviate the bloated, overfull feeling     

[twosmoke300]

Sorts out a sore throat too . Stings a bit mind

With the first one as Pineapple Upside Down Pudding

Have a picture of Mr McKay with a tin of Pineapple Chunks instead

O. M. G. Pineapple Volvo tax.

 

The SVM is doomed

[Guest Breadvan72]

Does anyone have a screenshot of the legendary 20p handbrake eBay advert?  I feel deprived to have missed it.

[Spiny Norman]

The SVM prefers its pineapples where nature intended. On gammon steaks, with a fried egg on top.
See y'all next Wednesday.

You've got to go a long way to beat a battered pineapple ring with your fish and chips.

[inconsistant]

Not that keen on the taste of pineapple but I find the hole in the middle of a tin of pineapple rings convenient.

Saves ruining another melon.

[castros_bro]

the ONLY use them is in this.

Is the pineapple/VW combination just an Autoshite thing then?

[Junkman]

I have never seen the association being made elsewhere, despite a number of Dubbers exhibit them on their roofracks, together with some yields from a fly tip.

So yes, I guess it's original to here.

[Junkman]

Cortina with pineapple on roofrack shocker:

 

 

Could Fords attract a scene tax in the future?

Fords?  Don't be daft man, who would pay good money for those basic, underdeveloped piles of crap?  What, when you could buy a perfectly comfy, exciting-to-drive Fiat Punto instead?  Nahhhhhhh, never happen, not in my lifetime...

It's often used in a certain office of a certain car related newspaper which certain shiters write for (including myself). It will probably spred.

 

But I do remember one use for pineapple I like. Chunked, served up in a bowel of evaproated milk or dream topping. Tasty.

[Mr Livered]

a bowel of evaproated milk or dream topping. Tasty.

Each to their own, I suppose.

 

I am intrigued, despite myself, as to how you get the evaporated milk into the bowel?

[twosmoke300]

Via the mouth , obv

I often make a similar quip. It's something to do with the process of how it's refined. It tastes like cream but it's not as heavy. It's nice, you should try it.
