Homer,

Not bad for an Oil Burner - LOL...

Respect is due.

A few things trouble me.

One, Your fuel gauge is bent round the empty stop. So when you do end up in a field and its taken you about 30 clicks to stop, you won't have enough gas to get back to the road.

Two, It looks like your temp gauge is reading 1.5 degC. This means your clocking 140 on a road with potential ice hazzards.

Three, You are showing a couple of warning lights. My knowledge of Bee Em lights is a bit vague, but at a ton fourty, anything lighting up on the dashboard is not good.

Basically you are a Mad Muther F***er...

the autobahn was dry on that day... no problem with ice<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

it´s true I was short on gas... but 2 minutes later I was at a gas station and filled up.
the warning light (left side) is for the... how is that in english... the water for cleaning the front shield/the lights
the green light on the lower right side is cruise control.

OK, you've nearly got excuses for everything, until you admitted you have a light on for an empty washer fluid bottle.

So you are doing 140mph with a dirty windscreen you can't see through...

Like that's going to stand up in court...

Driving at 140mph one handed, i guess that would count as impressive! ;)

BTW what kind of car is this Homer?

Racegal8,

He's got a Trabant...

<img src="http://www.trabant.org.uk/images/db_0641.jpg" border=0>

It's an East German pocket rocket that became very popular with speed freaks in West Germany after the wall came down.

The only thing Homer didn't tell us about his speed run was that his car was in freefall after having been pushed out the back of a Herc C130 at 20,000ft when he took the photo.

Did you ever stop to think what he might be doing with the OTHER hand <img src=newicons/tard.gif border=0 align=middle>..?

This would also explain why the picture is so fuzzy...

That looks kinda like a convertedable I saw on 54/70 yesterday. Blew my mind that a car that small was driving on the freeway.

Gifted,

Before Homer flies to the UK and kills me, he doesn't have a trabby, but a BMW 320d.

But what'll freak you about the ugly little pigglet in the picture is it's made out of some pressed material, I guess a mixture between GRP and chipboard. Homer will probably know for sure.

They have a reputation for falling apart on impact.

I read in a book by a UK motoring correspondant called Jeremy Clarkson, that when the wall came down in Germany, there were real problems with all the older east german cars mixing it with the Audis, BMW's and Mercs.

Clarkson told a story about a head on colision between a Trabby and an Audi A8. Five folk died in the Trabby and the Audi drove home with a broken radiator grill..!

That's why you should never drive a car that's totally mismatched to the others on the road.

ok, I admit. thats me and my car.
<img src="http://www.bayrischer-trabantclub.de/images/silber.jpg" border=0>




<img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle> Trabant... that was funny.
The worst about the Trabant was the smell of the two stroke engine...<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>
Sorry, I am not from <b>East</b>Germany... never drove a Trabi.


If you´re really interested in the material, here´s some info about the "ugly little piglet" (you hit the nail on the head!)

General story was that the day after the wall came down the Polution Index in West Germany jumped 50%.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=newicons/anim_lol.gif border=0 align=middle> Was that a Trabi in "Golden Eye" that Bond and the CIA agent shoehorned into? And he started by whacking it with a hammer?

So, you have trouble. We all have trouble. Build a bridge and get over it.
