Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

On A14 this morning travelling east between M1 and Kettering about 8.00am I passed a two tone (dark blue over light blue) Triumph 2000 and an old Land Rover painted white with black stripes!

Travelling back the other way, leaving Kettering about 4.30pm, I passed a dark (black or dark blue) Morris Minor and the same white and black Land Rover going back to where ever it came from !

Terry, it isn't a 4x4, it's a Simca 1100 pickup with a greenhouse on the back. Pure borst, all fur coat and no knickers, etc. But yes, I too would give one a home. After all, it's no less useful than a Datsun Cashcow and a darned sight easier to look at. :D

But can you skateboard on the roof of a Rancho :?: The Cashcow wasn't what I had in mind, when I referred to a handbag but it's certainly an example of something (Pointless), that's meant to look like a 4WD, that isn't a 4WD. Like a Berlingo, I expect the Rancho is roomy.

:? Another new name? I find that if I forget my password, asking for a new one usually works. There's a link for that purpose on the login screen. ;)
Still, at least you're still here, we all thought that your puppy had eaten you.

Last Friday, this Oldsmobile Diesel. I like the two space parking approach!

Not sure if this badge means anything special about the car?
