bridge

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Is it that hard to realise you're too high?

Maybe the drivers were too high too ;)

I love the way the bus loses that large condenser from the roof complete with clouds of steam, yet continues away as though nothing had happened.
Same with the huge caravan-like device, that deserved what it got. :twisted:

I love them, Rich, but I figure that if I make it appear as though I don't, my caravan fetish will remain a secret so SSSSHHHHH! Keep this entre nous, s'il te plaît. :oops:

The Sprite Major and Musketeer of the late 1960s are the stuff of erotic fantasy for me. Probably.

That's brilliant.....all of it :lol:

I remember years ago driving to work across the Tay road bridge when it used to have the observation platform at the Fife end (they were removed in 1990). There was a tipper lorry ahead and about half way across the bridge the tipper bit started to tip :o There was absolutely nothing anyone could do to warn the guy and I watched as it smacked into the concrete observation platform and stopped dead. I bet the driver got a shock.
