Okay here it is :

To support one of Jeremy's points, Mercedes has a luxury car that pumps 500 hp out of a 5 liter engine. And that thing looks like Kofi Annan would drive to work.

pfftt~!~ I pump out more than that on a 3 liter engine.

I can't ever tell with you, but to suggest that a car is somehow better because an corrupt, criminal, so-called international leader would drive it leaves me quite bewildered.

Those icelandic competition climbers are pretty cool. A guy in my neighborhood has one in his garage.

Bush usually rides in a big Black Suburban. At his ranch he drives a Ford F350 Dually Diesel. It's a good thing he's a third generation oil billionaire! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Wouter, I think that was one "edit" too many. If that is how you want the U.S. sailors to know you, so be it.

If you can't get sex, I recommend estrogen therapy.

Wouter,
Can I get one in the States, street legal???? Looks like it might cure my "I want another motorcycle, but my girlfriend objects to a Yamaha R-1, or R-6. (Want's a Harley type and I hate cruiser bikes and can't afford a Ducati {Big V-Twin, right})" problem!!!!

If that picture was taken in USA then there would have been a sticker on the beam saying.

"This is an open sailboat, sail it carefully. The safest option is not sailing at all !

As there seems to be some fans of top gear here you may be interested to know that the next run of the show has been delayed as one of the presenters Richard Hammond had a serious crash recently while driving at around 300mph filming for the show. Even though his injuries were potentially life threatening it didn't stop the other presenters giving him a hard time about his driving skills!


This is one of my favorite shows but it is light entertainment and should not be taken seriously.

Gareth
