I still have my 2002 turbo road / race car but it's not been on the road for years 'cos life got in the way. I keep dreaming, for me it's the perfect car! I drove various '02s as daily drivers with a bit of club racing thrown in for over 25 years.

Well said, Tim. While there are still real people involved, there will always be unforeseen accidents despite everyone's best efforts to avoid or minimise the effect of them. That's why it always says 'MOTOR RACING IS DANGEROUS' on the tickets. Lets hope Bianchi continues to mend.

A bit more obscure than Freebird: 'Standing on the runway waiting for takeoff I wanna fly, wanna watch me flake off I can't move 'cause the man has a rake off You gotta help me Help me to shake off...'

Lay your hands on me - Jon Bon Jovi

Just wondering how few words it would take! Maybe I should just have said 'If I...', you'd probably still have got it. Overplayed? Not by the band themselves, sadly. Probably not their best either. I still love it though.

How did that happen?

It's that the punch line is so obvious and anti-climactic when it comes - try this dialog: A: 'What did Rommel say to his men before they got into their tanks' B: 'I don't know' A: 'Get into your tanks, men' B: 'Doh!' It's not as funny as most of the other stuff on this thread but that's sort of the point - it is corny.

If I leave here tomorrow...

You may not be alone, some do and some don't!

It looks like one of those late '90s Hyundai coupes with a bodykit and a roof swap.

I know this! PM sent!

What did Field Marshal Rommel say to his men before they got in their tanks? 'Get in your tanks, men!'

Thanks Al, it's a new one on me but I like it a lot!

Yes! See if you can find the original title of this song on the net. I can't post it here but it is funny - apparently Lennon had to change the last word to 'gun' because Paul thought the song was referring to him...

That's quite an office! What's the SP on the two Fords?

er it's 'a soap impression'!

I put a 1/32 vee-dub body on a Scalextric car once, it was quite slow and fell over on tight corners (just like the real thing...) Looked great though! Different ball game from your Chevy, I like that a lot.

What's 'body-English'? Best Healey I've ever seen though!

(Oh Lord won't you buy me a ) Mercedes Benz - Janis Joplin

It's the way he tells 'em! I want this played at my funeral, not that I'm in any hurry for that.

'Get it On', to be precise

Lovely Any chance of a picture of this and the T'rantula together?

Yes I agree - and I'll always watch The Dambusters when it's repeated - hard to beat as a war film and never repeatable since they used real ex-RAF Lancasters and genuine bomb trial and photo-recce post-raid footage.

So good they named it twice (oh no that's another lyric!)

If you squeeze my lizard I'll put my snake on you I'm a romantic adventurer and I'm a reptile too But it don't make no difference 'Cos I ain't gonna be easy easy easy the only time I'm easy is when I'm....
