Title: Exotic Rides - bring back 'who is going in what'
Post by: RS2 Babe on February 12, 2004, 12:21:10 am
It seriously must be about that time  :P

AND I remember mentioning it last year but nothing was done about it!

Where is the 'Who is going in what' page?

But, if that is not forthcoming then can I not just request an exotic ride being as this year Mr RS2 will be mostly doing 50cc.

A UR Quattro Turbo (not red) would do to begin with and then perhaps a go in a mark I essy (Mexico?)

perhaps then some real exotics :-*

PS
As much as I don't get on with beamers a go in the 'nos' injected thing that you always see at Arnage would be interesting

Can only offer a Beamer 540i I'm afraid. Although it has to be said that the 4.4L V8 lump is pretty impressive.   One of our guys has a Morgan Plus 8 too and I'm sure he'll be happy to take you for a spin!! We may have a new Mazda RX8 too but not certain yet. Not exactly Exotica but Clarkson was raving about it on Top Gear the other night!!

But all this is of course only if we get a go on Mr RS2's scooter!!!!   :D :D :D

See you on MB.  :)

The TVR's good though.

Smokie's Omega

Which is silver. And carried me from Glasgow to Wokingham at an average speed of 83 the other weekend (according to the tripometer). Not so slow then eh?

I like it...  :)

Just been reviewing the photo of rcutler's veedubb in Le Mans configuration. It's all very orderly and for that he should be congratulated. However, there seems to be a large collection of bottled water and nay frickin' beer. Are you a mincer, or what Rick?

Well I'll be in the "exotic" OncewasanArkley, now again a BRG '66 Midget. Full, en route but available for trips after Friday afternoon... ;)

This was Maison Blanche for the Classic, We did have beer but due the Pickies the valuable stuff is kept inside. Beer mainly in the fridge! I will capture a picture from my camcorder and post it later that will put you mind at rest!

Matt

Quite a few of us went drinkin' after the Rugby WRC parade in London in December. I can fully vouch for Rick's credentials in the ale quaffing dept. Though he is but a mere youngster, he was apparently still going strong some hours after Gibberish, Steve Brown and myself staggered off as broken men. I think he even drunkenly tried to chat up some foreign bird. Just ask J P Chenet, he was there and is a veritable human beer barrel too. We drank the pub pretty much dry of ale.

Or look at the thread entitled something like Who's Going? from about Dec time.

Post by: RS2 Babe on February 14, 2004, 09:31:43 pm
Well 'ta' for some(!!) of the offers but to be honest I was looking for something really really really exotic...........


........... like an F40 (oh hang on I have had a go in one of them)

...  OK a Lambo ........and to be even more honest that wasn't for me it was for Mr RS2 'cos even though he has me and an Audi Porsche RS2 Avant and an Audi Quattro he STILL feels the need for more speed so PUUURRLEASE somebody give him a go (on MAD FRIDAY) in something more EXOTIC!!

( as he is an '80's kinda guy if anyone has a Testerossa then that would just make his day!)

I'm sure he is - I was just a little taken aback by the ordiliness of Rick's pitch and the military precision in which his Evian was lined-up. Shame on me for not realising that the occasion was the Classic and not the real deal. I guess I was comparing it with blurred visions of our 24 Hours domain in Houx, which usually resembles the aftermath of a nuclear explosion at the Guinness factory.
The paternal manner in which you have defended Rick's alcoholic abilities does you credit. Personally, my view is that sustained heavy drinking is neither big, nor clever.

I too shall support Mr Cutler.  the chap has a damned good LM pedigree, having attended his first race ages 16, and he cycled all the way :o :o

Have to agree about the neatness of the camper van though.  Very precise.

sorry rick

After a weekend offroading, our first choice motor got trashed in the local quarry.
Have to fall back on a mixture of Rep mobile's, Hot Hatches and classics.

Exotic rides!

I can offer a Testarossa, but I'm afraid the price you'll have to pay is a high one...
First of all, it's a visit from David Emanuel to whip up a nice airy bouffant number with some Wayfarers epoxied on to the summit. A lovely white lacy shirt with frilly cuffs and a neckchain knocked up to an old Isambard Kingdom Brunel specification held at Bristol Docks should finish off that cabriolet look. Any drinking will be limited to cocktails with at least two pounds of fruit in the glass and a mimimum of three sparklers. Personally, I also like the look of a few root vegetables in there, and maybe a set of teeth. I'm afraid your little finger on the right hand will also have to be broken, and reset at a jaunty angle. Maybe we should shift the eyebrows up a little while we're on. These, obviously, are the 'male' requirements, so we'll need to head below the waistline with no delay. It has to be leather. The less breathable the better. What we're after inside there is rainforest humidity, we want to see a good run-off from inside the legs at ankle level. Betty Swallocks Strides Ltd of Littlehampton  do a nice little line in non-stretch, non-breathable, not quite dead figure huggers, the crotches are lined with live chickens. Salamander skin loafers should finish things off, their little eyes are just so cute.
After this, just getting in the car will be a f*cking nightmare never mind driving it, but once in you'll certainly cut a dash in MB. And maybe an artery if you're not careful.
That Commer is starting to look pretty good....

Roll on June!? there's no chance of that at the moment, I've only just got over the Saturday jackpot rollover. I can still scribble pictures on this pad though...

Matt, is the Jury still out on 'sustained heavy drinking'? Perhaps you're right, but more research is required, I'll investigate the 'intermittant light sipping' avenue. As usual these tests will have to be double-blind. Very double blind...

Hate to disagree, Gibb, but I think he is a model engineer (of the Agricultural type) and I have a feeling in my water that you're going to hear a lot more of 'Proper Job' in the future !!

PS - I bet he could fix your smilies for you  :D :D :D

oh... and the testarossa (note spelling MRs RS2!!) has to be in Miami Vice White !!!!................

but I am sure you all realise that MrsRS2 is using me as a thinly veiled excuse of getting her own goes in the exotica!!

for some reason she is not too impressed at my suggestion of a TR7 as an excellent replacement vehicle!

Why not go for leatherette? It possesses all the qualities demanded H, I know this because the front seats in the commer are made of it. After the hot six hour drive to Le Mans, our bottoms become so riddled with blackheads it looks like we've been shot in the arse by a twelve bore. I think I'm going to replace it with a nice tiger skin fur. Then I'll run meself up a pair of extra tight Bavarian leder(ette) hosen shorts with the old covers. And couple of tanga thongs if there's enough material left, they'll certainly be big if not necessarily clever.

Frankly, I reckon the live chickens stand a worse than evens chance of getting their claws entwined in the pubis, with terrible consequences for all concerned, not least the chickens. It would clearly necessitate Mr RS2 walking around with a mincing and posturing gait and is perhaps not quite what he had in mind.

I wondered how we all got that, so this year i'm afraid it will be bare ass inspection before using our crapper, what do you say Bart. Don't know about an ensuite think we may need an isolation tent.

Not a very plausible excuse, and quite unlikely to be believed IMO.

Mrs RS2: Where did you you get that terrible rash on your nether regions, love?
Mr RS2: Off a bog seat in a french supermarket....
Mrs RS2: GRRRR!
