I don't think I've ever grinned so much in all my life!

 

[Lisa!]

Woo!

Yay!

Hooray!

 

[rachmaninoff]

Awesome!

:!)

 

[Moonbear]

Wow! That's some ride! Now that you're gainfully employed and have a really cool car, when will we hear the reports of all the hot dates you'll have?

I was talking to a guy last night who used to have a similar car, and he just turned around and said "They're fun, but they're not kitty magnets. If you pick up a girl in it, just make sure her tattoos are spelt correctly!"

 

[matthyaouw]

Impressive! I want one (oh, and a driving lisence... damn.)

 

[russ_watters]

I'm not sure I've ever told you how much I hate you...

 

[tribdog]

kitty magnets, lol
Who said chivalry was dead

I'll keep it for a year, then swap it for your telescope.

[Jealously]Not very practical where do you put the shopping. With our weather i hope you`ve got an umbrella, (I want one!)[/Jealously]

 

[Danger]

Brewski, you bastard! Get over here right now so I can car-jack you!

 

[russ_watters]

Deal!















...Sucker - that thing has got to be worth way more than my scope.

 

[FredGarvin]

Telescope?Blimey...Nerd alert!

That is definitely a bachelor car. Nice little toy you've got there. I guess the next step is to install the really big/noisy exchaust and huge spoiler kits?

 

[hypatia]

She a beautiful! What you going to name her? Something sexy, sultry...

 

[Pengwuino]

You bought a duck?

 

[TheStatutoryApe]

Oooooo... pretty...

 

[franznietzsche]

kitty magnets, lol

Insulted magnets?

 

[honestrosewater]

Hm, I would take it back. They didn't even put the steering wheel on the correct side.

 

[Astronuc]

said "They're fun, but they're not ... magnets. If you pick up a girl in it, just make sure her tattoos are spelt correctly!"

Brewie, not that you would use it for that purpose. Nice car.

Enjoy - but drive safely and where your seat belt.

I am a Honda Civic kind of dude. Not fancy, but it get's really great mileage.

But if I was to get such a toy, it would nothing less than a Porsche 917. :!)

Before the exchange, can I borrow it only for 1 day?:shy: I like to see how it's like when your car hits the wall!

Okay, this may seem silly to be asking so late, but just what kind of car is it anyway? It's super-cool looking, but I've never before seen anything like it to have any inkling of an idea what it is.

Women...
It's obviously a Matchbox #417. And the detail in the model garage and driveway is truly amazing.

 

[zoobyshoe]

God, that thing's gorgeous, Brewnog. Congrats!

Its a Caterham

 

[BobG]

I kind of like my Jeep, but, if the price were right, I could handle owning a big luxury car.

Maybe I could obtain it http://www.cowboylyrics.com/lyrics/cash-johnny/one-piece-at-a-time-2214.html .

 

[DocToxyn]

I've got a John Deere tractor in practically the same color scheme . Just kidding, very nice lines, looks fast and nimble. It almost makes me want to give up my bikes... .

 

[Andy]

She's lovely mate, what engine have you got in her? I hear that the turbocharged cosworth engines go rather well in one of those.
