Got Anything Random To Say

No, I don't want there to be any snow in my city or anywhere near it until February half term!! Then I won't have to worry about certain people who live further away from college than I do not being able to make it!!

i do not "love" muscle cars. i am also not interested in racing style cars. i am interested in stock standard cars that were sold to the public with no mechanical modifications. i have a selection of "muscle cars" in my forza garage, but i do not like them (plymouth baracuda, pontiac gto etc).
you may consider the falcon xb gt 351 to be a muscle car, but it was a standard car available right from the show room floor. the fairlanes had even more powerful motors, but they were only faster in a straight line.

i like old cars because i am surprised at how they perform compared to how i always imagined them to perform. i like soft suspension because i can dance with it and know when i am approaching my limits, whereas with stiff racing suspension, one never knows where the threshold of control is, and once crossed, the loss of control is sudden and overwhelming.

i like stock standard cars from the late 1930's to the early 1980's best. one can easily bolt an old buick body onto a rocket sled and excite themselves watching it careen along a rail, but authenticity and historical accuracy is what i am interested in. i like to see how fast the unmodified versions were.
i like to be able to satisfy my curiosity as to, for example, how fast a mother who woke up late in 1941 can race to the shops on a sunday afternoon in her 1940 ford V8 sedan to get supplies before they close.

anyway, the DS 21 was very streamlined, and had an excellent centre of gravity. the wheelbase is very long, and long wheelbases give a feeling of "loping" over the undulating terrain. most people like tight stiff responsive suspension, but i like very soft and delicate suspension because i know how to "swing with it".




i am sorry? did you click the link after i suggested you did not click the link, or did you click the link originally and fail to see that it was a joke?
also, i do not have any conceptual attitude to winking emoticons.

Well, this is the earliest I've woken up in a while.......

yes well waking up earlier for you will result in you being able to say much more than you currently do.

Yum, potato chips and coffee.

I often wonder what sloths are for.

I haven't had coffee in a few days, so today makes up for that.

Do you always have to be the last poster?

whatever. i do not care.

I might go back to sleep soon. Maybe.

Did you wake up early especially to tell us that?

I might go back to sleep for a little bit, at that. If I do at all.
