had a wicked time! loads of corvette's loads of jacked up V8 Rams and Ford F150's and F250's and saw a few F350 extra f.cking wide mothers about too! Love florida, love the fact you can have a car without any windows or doors but you can still drive it as long as the lights work and the tyres aint bald! ah that's the other thing you can even get tyres in wallmart! loads of them! still back to this piss hole now, ok so florida aint to great, there was some serial killer about around the area i was at and the cops can be a bit harsh on the speeding fines too and lets not touch the health care stuff. i'd still love to live there though, nice houses, people are nice (well unless your close to orlando) and they don't sh.t on the car driver so badly like they do here. all they got to worry about is paying $4 a gallon (us gallon too). still what i miss in 16 days? > had a wicked time! loads of corvette's loads of jacked up V8 Rams and Ford > F150's and F250's and saw a few F350 extra f.cking wide mothers about too! [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > still what i miss in 16 days? SteveH has bought a Ducati, DanB has bought a FWD which SteveH thinks is a shopping trolley, I lost my mind and bought a 4.0 Cherokee, Elder's Saab hasn't broken down while you've been away, Conor's still a grump and Burgerman still hates diesels. Not a lot really ;-) Mike P >> had a wicked time! loads of corvette's loads of jacked up V8 Rams and >> Ford F150's and F250's and saw a few F350 extra f.cking wide mothers [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Not a lot really ;-) DanB in a FWD clio? *shakes head* looks like it all went down hill, wel except for the petrol prices. we hired a 300C but they was all gone time we got there (flight was late) so they bumped me up to an SUV and we got a suzuki XL7 which i moaned about at first but was actually a really good car! done 500 miles with $50 worth of petrol which i thought was pretty good! that's just under 30 quid! > suzuki XL7 which i moaned about at > first but was actually a really good car! <points and laughs> GAYER! You do realise that you've just claimed that the Vitara is a good car, don't you? MX5s, FWD Clios and Vitaras. You're camper than Butlins on a bank holiday weekend.

Given the manufacturer's stated mpg is 16/22 (latter is highway), either you were driving it like dervman on a mission, or your sums are off :-) > DanB in a FWD clio? *shakes head* looks like it all went down hill, wel > except for the petrol prices. > we hired a 300C but they was all gone time we got there (flight was late) so > they bumped me up to an SUV and we got a suzuki XL7 which i moaned about at > first but was actually a really good car! done 500 miles with $50 worth of > petrol which i thought was pretty good! that's just under 30 quid! Bumped you UP to a Suzuki XL7? That's a funny definition of up. When I go to Florida in August, it'll be a Mustang please. Or a Dodge Challenger if they're on stream by then.

Fraser > still what i miss in 16 days? Most of the news seems to have centred around Dan chopping the V6 for a 197, he tried to bury the bad news by telling us there's something wrong with him that can't be fixed, but the group has cut back to the real issue at hand - whether FWD shopping trolleys are best converted to mid engined RWD or not. Seems to have got the group talking.

(c: Was thinking I should've PM'd you to see if you were in. I was gobsmacked when this guy opened his garage though... 1 pristine concours condition 2.8i. 1 daily driver 2.8i with just one small bubble on one wing. But the icing on the cake.. Original Swaymar Capri. It's a 3.2L Turbo and they only ever made two. Light blue X-packed with 300BHP on tap and it's in showroom condition. The lucky bastard got it for £8000. I'm jealous as f.ck.

You should have said. Lord Douglas or I could have made you a cup of tea. You got within a mile of our respective castles if you travelled up the usual road. > Lord Douglas or I could have made you a cup of tea. > You got within a mile of our respective castles if you travelled up the > usual road. Bugger. I did kind of think about it on the way up. However after seeing one of the only two Swaymar Cappers ever made, I was thinking about other things on the way back.

I sold the Vee and bought a yellow Clio R27 - everyone cares a lot more than I thought, I feel quiet loved :-) That and the hospital wrote me off. SteveH bought a Ducati - I don't know if that's good or not. PeteM got hold of a V8 Rover 75 and knocked one out over it. Some other stuff happened.

Heh - I think some care more about you buying a FWD shopping trolley on steroids than the hospital writing you off. Get the 911. You deserve it. > > I sold the Vee and bought a yellow Clio R27 - everyone cares a lot > > more than I thought, I feel quiet loved :-) That and the hospital [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Get the 911.
