All in the <head> – Ponderings and code by Drew McLellan –

Greatest Cars

The Land Rover has been voted the greatest car of all time by the viewers of BBC Top Gear. As a Land Rover owner, this makes me very proud.

For those interested (that’d be just me then …) here’s my hippo pictured, as all good Land Rovers should be, in a field.

By the way, I blanked out my registration plate in that photo because that’s what they do on tv … anyone know why? I mean, a quick whois will give you just about all the info you need to come and murder me in my sleep, so why did I bother doing that? heh. humans.

We used to have a red Renault and a yellow Austin at the same time. We called them rhubarb and custard… :]

Scary story: Was driving though the Blackwall Tunnel in custard and the engine became undone from the chassis and started forcing the bonnet up!

’Nibble’ becuase the last 3 letters on the number plate are ’NBL’… :)

I used to like that particular brand of autos until I saw one of their latest commercials. A religious/cultural ceremony is taking place and the rover needs to get through, the group stops, parts the way, and rover goes through. The commercial ends – ”Respect”. Good grief! Yes, let us all bow down to Rover! Gimme’ a break. Sorry, but it is quite distasteful.
