Re: Are you Emigrating, or Escaping?
Ok I have to ask, what is a "muscle car"? I live here, I could be seeing them on a daily basis, if only I know what they were.

Re: Are you Emigrating, or Escaping?
And that's exactly the sort of post that made me add you to my ignore list.
I thought I'd give you a chance to redeem yourself, so took you off my list (of which YOU were the only one) so I could read your post, but no, just the usual rude and un-helpfull oink.
Back on the ignore list then.

Re: Are you Emigrating, or Escaping?
Heh! I know that I2C has seen a proper muscle car but I don't know if she'd remember. We often pass a garage that has some interesting cars for sale, currently there's an MGB, a 60s Mustang and an AC Cobra replica (I assume replica). One day there was a rally of interesting cars at the garage and I pulled in, there was the usual mixture of old pick ups, things with fins and Morris Minors.
Away in a corner there was a grey Chrysler 300M with air suspension, the sort an LA gangster would use to make it hop and down at the traffic lights. We looked at it, bemused. Big saloons are a specific taste, one lost on us. Nice upholstery though, I know some posters value that.

As i am sure you are aware there are a group that come on here that have no interest in offering sound advice and simply like to poke the bears through the bars......sad really. That's why i dont bother anymore. only come on here one in while to convince my self that I.m missing nowt.
I have no malice towards them unless they use threats against posters.
Let them have their fun it doesnt bother me though I will engage to some degree even if its just to piss them off

But isnt that part of the fun?????? Though some of them do contribute the odd bit of guidance and advice they concentrate on posters whom they think they can give a hard time to be it right or wrong.

Re: Are you Emigrating, or Escaping?
Perhaps it was something to do with the time lag between giving instructions down to the engine room and the required changes to speed and/or direction actually being made. It did feel remarkably nautical.
Edit: Just to clarify, I am not an elderly Italian. But, as I always say, I can be anyone you want me to be if the money's right...

Ahem, haven't you entered this thread solely to tell us that your time is too valuable to allow you to post on threads?

Well that's as clear as muck then.
A large car, possibly with bouncy suspension, goes quite slowly. Auld Yin's link is blocked as "Innappropriate Content" so I shall assume it is something rude. Oh well, I'm sure it's worth moving continents for.

There is absolutely nothing rude in the link, except perhaps the short appearance of Jeremy Clarkson.
