My keys were stolen by a man dressed as a cactus. Now all i have to start the car is the spares, and i can't risk another similarly attired gent stealing those....so they're locked up in a safe.

Yeah. Take away that cactus disguise and I bet he's pretty spineless.

I've only just seen this.

I've been thinking about doing a RWYB day for a while! I'd rather be up against other chavs than a bunch of the same cars though, but i'll be in depending on dates.

Wooof!

SANTA POD

Post by JohnTurbo » Fri Feb 22, 2008 5:08 pm

Hello all!

No cactus related jokes this time please!!

I'm thinking of going to this, and i know another 480 Turbo owning young lady who expressed some interest.

Just thought i'd put it here in case any of you are actually man enough (or woman enough) this time round!

Date is Sunday the 9th of March, Santa Pod.
