Why's it got a ruddy great C.B aerial on it though? ;D

Must be worth a couple of MPH in itself.

Have they got Burt Reynolds at the wheel or something? :D

Was this a first attempt?

Mallard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard got very close to 126mph in 1938 so it has only taken 71 years to gain another 13 mph.

Do they have a pink edition of this  ::) ::) ::)

On a more serious note, this car looks like it's not:

1 - a family car
2. a car meant for ladies (no space for hauling shopping)  ::) ::) ::)

thanks Zulu - i love this!!  ;)

Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We is headin' for bear on I-1-0
'Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, "Pig Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck.
And I'm about to put the hammer down."

aah - the classics  :y



i always thought it weird he said "a Jimmy hauling logs" like the driver was called Jimmy, just found out a "Jimmy" is a GMC truck - everydays a school day as someone once said  :y
