I have my own carriage! A means of conveyance fit for a LYE-dee. A fine chariot she is, too, I'm sure you'll agree.

Solange

Her colour is called "goth metal blue" and she's an Italian import in the grand tradition of other such unforgettable Italian imports as Profondo Rosso, Blood & Black Lace and Strip Nude For Your Killer. Of course she HAD to have a giallo name, so I gave her one of my favourites.

whydts

Now if anyone ever crashes into me I'll shout at them: "What have you done to Solange?"

I love how you scratched out the number plate in that photo...afraid of stalkers?

Nice wheels, though.

Thanks, Zed. And yeah, I've had them in the past. Can't be too careful!

Really? Blimey...

Don't worry; there's only Weber sad enough to stalk girls on this board.

Alas, the board does have a stalker (at least, that's the term the stalker would surely use for his own behaviour) but he contributes nothing to it.

But hurrah for Solange! She looks about as fiesty as Jenny's car, which is very.

Really, Ramsey? That's horrible. D'oh - it's not who we think it is, is it?

I think I've seen you driving around in that thing, Kate. Through my binoculars. That I hold with one hand.

If you're going to all that trouble, Craig, I'll have to stage a big Michael Bay explosion for you, won't I?

A poem about Craig

He likes looking at lemmings or molesting minks
I can show you the photo’s to see what you thinks.
He’ll roger a rabbit or be rude with a rat,
He’ll rut any rodent including fruit bat.
He’ll screw any squirrel and nail any newt.
I know they’re not rodents but he still finds them cute.

a poem about Weber

He's usually articulate
As anyone can see
But OMG, WTF --
A greengrocer's apostrophe?

I think you've gotten me confused with Richard Gere, Weber....

Kate: I figure, if you're gonna go anyway, might as well go under the surely creatively-wicked ministrations of the vengeful master himself, the Lord Torturer of Probert Castle....

How's this for irony? When I was checking if bats really did come under the genus of rodent, I found this

„X Genus Brotomys
„X Brotomys contractus
„X Brotomys voratus (Hispaniolan Edible Rat [extinct])

With a name like Edible rat, I wonder what happened...

I also found this one

„X Prosciurillus weberi (Weber's dwarf squirrel)

Hah! That's as good as Hemingway's six-word story ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn.")...

Excellent. "Brotomys voratus (Hispaniolan Edible Rat [extinct])"

Tee hee!

Kate, any true stalker worth their salt would blow that photo up to mega size to view your tax disc details and also to get a clearer view of the photographer reflected in the front wheel arch.

Myself, I fed your pic of Solange into my early prototype Esper Photo Analysis tool straight out of 'Bladerunner' to get a good gander at all those empty fag and crisp packets filling the inner doors not to mention nearly 2 months worth of 'Heat' and 'Chat' magazines chucked into the back seats! And did you enjoy Dan Brown's latest? You messy pup you! Lol.

The rubbish is there to keep the cops from finding what's in the boot.

Having little idea about such things of the Booted Country, I headed to the source of all things arcane: Wikipedia and found a number of things that this name might refer to. My favourite is this:

quote:

Solange Magano, a former Miss Argentina, that recently died of a buttock implant


One suspects that this actually is a lifting of the English title of the movie Cosa avete fatto a Solange? however, of which I'd never heard previously. Merely the title is sufficiently intriguing to cause its seeking (note correct use of possessive 'it'). After all, who could say 'no' to a story written by a Mr. Geronimo?

The car itself, however, looks a damned treat! There's so very many really snifty vehicles being made now, but almost exclusively never make it to North America. Sad, really. Certainly we have far more room for vehicles here, but -- good gravy! -- not much more in the way of need for large stuff!

Wonderful vehicle, and you're justly proud, Ms Kate.
