Are you going fishing today? I believe that every human has a finite number of heart-beats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

it's probably from those Woodbine tyres you're running.

Sounds nasty. I'm really worried about my front headlight washers. I've just tried to squirt the windscreen and it didn't wash the lights. Also, my passenger door only unlocks if I press the button on the remote twice.

And the shooting season is well on it's way too Winter is best The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

Arggghhh... things are going from bad to worse. I just drove off in off-road mode, but the suspension kept dropping every time I went too fast...

You need some of this
Simply tie the level sensor's up and you will fool the car into thinking its bottomed out In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
