    Best Number Plates

    I saw a couple of interesting plates on the weekend. A commie had the plates IMPURE. I'm not sure whether the owner was trying to say they were a bad person - IMPURE or they actually meant I'M PURE which would make them a good person.

    In regard to : 68. You can sit with your knees apart no matter what you are wearing. Not sure if that is strictly true, what about blokes in kilts? Remember Princess Mary's old man flashing away at Denmark's Queen Margrethe II at the wedding - not a pretty sight.

    Biggest City you have driven in

    I spent 5 months in the good ol' USA touring around in an Oldsmobile. Mainly visiting National Parks but did drive through New York - made sure i arrived on Sunday. Hardly any traffic about - it was an amazing drive - skyscraper after skyskraper and yellow cabs everywhere. San Fransico was...

    My first car was a 1970 HG Holden Kingswood - 161 red motor, 3 on the tree, with drum brakes all round. 0-60mph in about 5 minutes, (the shift from 1st to 2nd was a killer). It was a matt brown finish, (never finished the re-spary) - so she looked like a brown cow, handled like a brown cow...
