Perfect! I'm already doing nothing, and quite happy about it.

I hate it when people see me at the supermarket and they're like 'Hey, what are you doing here?' I tell them 'You know.. hunting elephants.'

One of these was almost my first car... I thought the raked rear window was so stylish (lol)

Speaking of raked rear windows, electric no less, this was my first car. a 1960 Lincoln Mk V.

Then there was this i(u)nfamous Citroen Ami 6

Pretty cool looking set of wheels. I'd like to own one except for the potential of not being able to find parts.

I've never seen either of those before... I love the big US one. This Ford UK family car is the most famous of all I should think, having now been immortalised by Harry Potter. My uncle George had one and I remember thinking (as I ran my little Dinky Toys replica over that car's hood) that it must be the last word in modern styling

^ Once chased one of those at 70mph+ around a few streets and onto a dual carriageway hardly believing my eyes but when we eventually managed to box the bugga in it soon became apparent why....the driver (not insured hence the flight/chase) had fitted a Jaguar v8 engine and upgraded the front suspension to accomodate the extra weight.

It's not important to win, it's important to make the other guy lose.

Some people walk into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts. Others walk into our lives and we want to leave footprints on their face!

Christmas is a competition between who gives up first: Your feet or your wallet.

A clear conscience is the sure sign of a bad memory.

Well if you had of been in one of the pursuit vehicles I reckon you'd have thought this bugga was about to take off

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears, don't invent it with your small mind and share it with your big mouth!
