   Some crazed, unsound feminazi womyn with fat hairy ankles and tits gone south, may question the size of your woo woo MISTER KG, in view of your choice of vehicle. Naturally I would not da er do such a foolish, misguided thing. SIR. Nor would I so accuse any of the gentlemen who may approve the choice.

     That one occurred to me too, Oswald – but I just couldn’t get past the 28.3 litres of the Fiat S76 [see below]

   Very good. Didn’t the boy from The Karate Kid have a yellow one?

   If you really want to make the Gaia worshippers choke on their muesli, and in the “they just don’t make them like that anymore” category, how about one of these:

   1910/11 Fiat S76

   All 28.3 litres of it

     My God!! Them were the days.
     Here’s a lad bringing a con-rod out of it, for show and tell.

    I can just imagine KG cruising down the road, slight bounce in the suspension, KG says “Shit mate, was that your prius…” him & Gecko pissing themselves laughing as the drive off into the sunset.

    seriously though, if the greenies have thier way, we might have to get inventive again…

        Why yes, yes they do. I’m talking about what talented people can do with shopping trolley type cars… if there is a will, there is a way to shoe-horn a V6 into anything

    Just imagine a high speed collision between that hunk of steel and a “Smart” car. Then tell me which driver would experience “extreme danger”.

    I have always wished to make a huge circular, LA to NY return trans-continental road trip across the United States in a classic Cadillac – either one such as illustrated or the incomparable 1962 Coupe De Ville.

    The expedition will be leisurely, take as long as it needs to, be supported by a comfortable but not extravagant budget, include whimsical side trips and be in the company of a like-minded and utterly compatible female companion.

      Oh yes. Yes indeed. I could do that and die happy.
      Have companion as specified, just need Caddy…..
