⦠unless youāre one of the poor sods backed up in the traffic build up behind you
Unlikelyā¦most of the route is Autoroute and Autobahnā¦mind you the run to the show on Friday is in a 200+ aircooled VW convoyā¦quite a sight.
This is a video a mate shot on the way to the show in 2005ā¦funnyā¦
That reminds me of when I was an apprentice in Newport South Wales and on traveling back to Southampton we stopped at Leigh Delamare services and had a Burger from the newly opened burger franchise. As I was sat in the back of a VW Beetle itās very hard to get out or open any windows. Any way about 20 miles down the road I am feeling very Tom Dick and the driver wlil not pull over so my mouth is just about out the little quadrant gap you get on the rear window when my guts let go and pebble dash the near side rear wheel arch.
still the driver would not stop unti he reached home where he promptly requested me to clean his car.
Upon which he got told that as he refused to stop itās not my fucking problem do it your self.
by the way vomit air dried onto the rear arch of a VW does not come off easily
This is Robās more conventional take on the last show in 2013ā¦once every 4 yearsā¦
Great music to accompany the pics tooā¦
Whoops sorry for the highjackā¦back on topicā¦you wonāt want to get stuck behind this lot on a hot day.
Itās the humidity that does it, foreign heat is normally dry heat so you donāt feel it so much.
You have never been to Singapore then
All heat is good regardless of the humidity.
I refuse to work or live anywhere the average temp is less than 26 deg C
Just donāt mention the war, eh?
The air con has packed up
FFS the stupid system has been bellowing out cold air all through the winter - the first time we need it to do its job, it waves the proverbial two fingers at us.
Bastard air con
Bastard building
Bastard Landlord
Youāre jokingā¦you want to see the wartime stuff thereā¦thereāll be about 15 of these on the river on Saturday, great funā¦
Yeah, and who built those wartime vehicles?
Not exactly a revelation to anyone who knows the history of volkswagen or the emergence of Hitlerās peopleās car after the war, courtesy of REME.
You have air-con? My air-con consists of this :-
A window? That opens?
You lucky, lucky bastard⦠etc
Oh, thatās alright then.
Rank hath itās privileges, however that is the maximum amount it opensā¦
Itās like enjoying a flypast of a Lancaster bomber is not tacit approval of the blanket bombing of civilian areas in the closing stages of WW2.
You have a window?
in my day we were lucky to look at a wall with no paper on it.
Then the Mexcicans took over making then. I believed they only stopped around 10 years ago or so. But you could buy a brand new old style one over there. Or did I dream that up?
