Remind me, why do we do it?...
« on: October 26, 2006, 12:55:02 »
At a low morale point after yet another breakdown/tow/leak/grinding noise/pluming smoke (*delete as appropriate)  :x

4x4's just seems to empty my pocket, annoy my wife, ruin my clothes, ostracise me from society and take up a fair chunk of my spare time.

So remind me. Why the hell do we do it?

Go on cheer me up. Please!  :cry:

'Cos we can.

Or that feeling when you see a big puddle and know you'll be able to drive past the sports car stuck in it.

Sometimes you need to get away from the crowd, the only way to do that, is to get a little mud on the tyres.

I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.
