Title: What is a petrol head?
Post by: Martin_1962 on 16 October 2006, 09:16:37
1) Someone who always votes Clarkson for TV personality of the year
2) Someone who when heres LSD always thinks about diffs
3) Someone who can name more motor sports drivers than all the other sports people they have heard of. You know they manage Coe, Ovett, Wilkinson, then Bekham then get stuck - yet can manage the entire F1 and WRC


Any more?

Isn't that what the estates were built for?
And didn't they give away complimentary Red Setters with early estates just to create public awareness?   ;D
