Aha, but you can't bomb 7 kinds of carp out of anything with 350 cars, not unless you are a suicide bomber.

I've heard many great sayings but the best thing I've heard over the last few days is....

"A radioactive cat has eighteen half-lives." - My friend Alex

There are hundreds more great lines I could write but the context of them is lost without plenty of background information so I wont bore you all with them now....!

I saw a good one on another (car) forum:

"How does the overdrive work?"

"well, the bachman-turner model assumes that you ain't seen nothing. yet."
