Iconic Ride

Is it Lloyd's of London time yet?

Signed in as "Guest." I think it's an incognito Donald Trump trying to launder some campaign kickback funds.

Nah, it's the work of Australian artist Egyptian-born (go figure) Konstantin Dimopoulos, created in 2013 in Houston. He's done other cities as well.

I thought this was a PG 13 thread, Barry. Best of luck on the rebuild. At one horsepower I think even the Renault unit can handle it.

I saw the Tarzan flic quite a while ago with my older son. We both enjoyed it, though I'd categorize it more as a "popcorn movie" than academy award material. A nice day's diversion and a worthwhile escape from mundane chores. Heck, I'd go see it again just to see Margot Robbie once more. What a fox! Really looking forward to seeing "Arrival," just released a few days ago, to stellar reviews it appears. This weekend was completely sold out at my usual haunt.

Trying to get their goat, are you?

From www.mediaite.com "According to a new NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll, seventy-two percent of registered Republicans “still doubt” the President's place of birth. Forty-one percent outright disagreed with the statement, “Barack Obama was born in the United States,” while only twenty-seven percent of Republicans agree."Aug 11, 2016 These are the voters who chose our next President.

Name: Barry Car: 1998 esprit v8 that roars....... it does honest - just can't drive it down the road Sez who?

Gentlemen (ahem), there are other solutions...

The smart ones prefer to call the shots from dry ground.

Impressive, Andy. But will your cat do this?

There are initiatives to secede from the U.S. afoot in both California and Oregon. They are only partly in jest. To paraphrase Brewer & Shipley, they are only one joke over the line, sweet Jesus.

Barry, here's hoping that when you do procure and install a new crown wheel that the planets are aligned.

Don't know what all the fuss is about. I've been trapping wankpuffins for years in my backyard. They taste just like chicken.

"Bernie, we're going to build an F1 track in Texas next millennium. Keep it quiet for now. I'm still buying up the land."

Hope springs eternal, mate. But the odds are long. "Done deal" and such.

I've been told that trench coats are quite popular in that area of the U.K. For the weather of course.

Have you any idea how long it takes a paramecium to cross the road?

Yes, mes amies, it was another Renault badeaux moment for the Worcestershire Flash, soon to be one of his "crowning achievements."

"We will build a wall, and make Scotland pay for it." Lake District Cumbria County Council Co sponsored by the River Eden "Protect our Fish!" Fly Fishing Society,* dedicated to keeping Red Herrings north of the wall. *www.FFS.uk

Not me. Like most pilots, I'm afraid of heights.

Some of us actually sleep at night, Bibs. Here you go, mate...
