Excellent news:
Tom Roche, founder and boss of Car Chase Heroes, told AutoClassics: ’The fire, while a shock and obviously not ideal, could have been so much worse. We lost three cars: a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, a Mazda MX-5 and a Barricade Mustang [that starred in the Transformers franchise].

‘All of those are easily replaced unlike a lot of the cars that the fire service managed to save with their quick work.’

Also on the trailer included a genuine ‘General Lee’ Dodge Charger R/T that starred in the TV version of Dukes of Hazzard and has been signed by the cast, an 8.5-litre V8 replica of the 1966 Batmobile and a Ford Gran Torino complete with a Starsky and Hutch livery.

That Scimitar is sad, but one thing, why's the hood up with the glorious weather we're having. :?

Didn't want to get hit on the head by the flying Pringles, I suspect.

I think he (I’m assuming it was a he ;-))was just following the sign for Subway, not realising it wasn’t a drive through.

This clip appears to be aimed at those of a footballing tendency.

Tears of laughter are falling on my keyboard.
I love a subtle command of the English language.

Apparently 2 unrelated crashes last weekend in Germany involving 2 Cobras, killing 3 people.
