Out-f*ckng-standing Rusty!

Chisel it into a headstone for when he pops off.

In our early years, unlike Butch and Sundance, we camped near a guy with a black Countach, an early model if I remember right. He also had it fitted with the 'Sports Exhaust', and the sound it made when he lifted off was orgasmic.

His everyday car was a Fiat Panda.

Quote from: Andy Zarse [quote

Oh ye of f**ck all faith! It must be terrible to go through life as cynical as this. I'll bet you believe there's no WMD too, eh Matt.? Such terrible cynicism.

Quote

Yes, you're right Andy. I should be less cynical. Perhaps if I faithfully accepted as genuine, everything that ended up in front of me I'd be a happier, more fulfilled individual. Broke, identity stolen, bank account emptied, 2nd, 3rd and 4th mortgage applied to my property, but happier and more fulfilled. "The cheque's in the mail" would do for me - it would be such a thrill to bankroll my delinquent customers, while they bought from my competitors.
"Spare change, for a cup of tea, mate?" would mean just that - and not, "This is my career and I need to maintain the payments on my Golf GTi".
I really should heed the unsolicited emails from Nigerians wanting to deposit secret billions into my bank account, all I need do is send them my account number and sort code and all my dreams will be realised. And it's perfectly reasonable to free the people of Iraq by bombing the sh*t out of them. (Those weapons of mass destruction are out there somewhere!)
Andy, I'm a battle-hardened cynic - I admit it and I'm sorry to be this way. In the grand scheme of things, I'm sure none of us give a flying f**k about the authenticity of the speedo shot. I just thought it looked a little odd - look at a Diablo dash and you'll see what I mean - but it's a neat image nonetheless.
Try as I might, I've been wrestling to figure out what WMD is, since I got into the office this morning. See? Cynical and stupid. Please put me out of my misery.

Duh! Thanks JPC - they're not referred to by that acronym here and are a bit of a sore subject, naturally. The government have now 'fessed up to the fact that there appear, in all probability, to be a distinct shortage of nukes, bio/chem devices or dirty bombs in Eyerack. Not to worry, we needed to open a can or two of whup-ass just to make sure all that lovely oil wasn't going nowhere, except over here.

Cynical, just soooo cynical.

I am myself naive in the extreme. Obviously.

If that was on Houx Annexe 92/93 and was a 5000QV with the rear wing was being used to build our beermountain then you've had the pleasure of our Simon.

I'll try and get an mpeg from Tony of the full video which has been pro-edited to 5 mins and is quite outstanding. It takes in the launch of the Murcielago in Bologna with 250 machines nailing it from Sant'Agata to the town centre with the blessing of the local feds. All set to the sound track from the Sopranos.
watch out for future posts if I manage to get it on our website.

It's just been lobbed into a black ground to enhance the speedo without any other clutter. Makes it a much stronger image, non?

A request is zapping through cyberspace to Tony as we speak. I'll keep you posted.

Oui. I imagine the video soundtrack is cool too - that 5.7 V12 rasps and wails.
Did you ever get to see that mpeg of the guy on a Gixxer on Interstate 75. Ran for about 5 mins reading 170+ and even blew by a State Trooper parked in the median - which lead to an extremely rapid negotiation of the next exit ramp. The pix and sound are awesome. I'll see if I can dig up the link.

That was indeed the time and place. Not sure if I took any pics or not, probably not, I seem to remember we were going through a whiskey and red cherries phase then.

Haven't seen that one Matt, but the good news everybody is that I have a link to the Lamboranos video through Tony's personal website.
It's 15.5mb so I'll down load it tonite on broadband rather than spending 1.5hours on good old dial up and see what I can do about posting it up somewhere.
Watch this space.
