They can't arbitrarily ban the rumble of the V8, the buzzsaw whine of the straight 6

The Wolseley? Man, you've really got your finger on the pulse of London's restaurant scene.

So, a faceful of red wine followed by the unwise consumption of mixtures of raw alcohol until the wee hours? Can't see how that could hurt.

Talking of red wine, I joined the Wine Society recently. They're very good.

Straight 4s they can have.

There must be a resistance movement.

I'll kill you, you snide little ****.

It's an old favourite. We have a tradition of celebrating there. Get to my age and you enjoy the familiar.

They're bloody odd to drive. Instant torque and consequently ridiculous acceleration from a standing start with virtually no noise is a very strange feeling indeed. Unsettling.

I have little doubt of it, but I worry about the world we leave behind. Will no one think of the children?

I've taken to seeking out 12% stuff for daily swilling. Those 14.5% clarets were killing me.

There you are then. Hence the increased importance given to the size of one's engine.

After all, if your cock works properly, who cares about cars. Grrr.

Yes. Actually, I found a rather nice 11% Gamay which was very nice drunk chilled during the hotter evenings. A chap virtually sprang out of bed the next morning.

My current weapon of choice is - of all things - a Moldovan Cabernet of a mere 13%.
