  1. That is the original Vector, I think.
  2. Now that's a good looking supercar. I think its the Ascari, but don't know the full name.
  3. Damn! Rumbled!
  4. I thought that bloke who serviced my car was wearing curtains!
  5. Commisserations from me - always enjoyed reading his posts.
  6. New dentures required, I think. Monsta, however, has topped me in the pedantry stakes - he's right, it does say 'how to cook' and not 'how to eat'!
  7. Actually I'm pointing out the flaws in your recipe. I'm sure there are many others who, having followed your instructions, would be left with a boiled crustacean and no knowledge of what to do with it. Enlighten us, before copious lobsters go to waste. Do I crack open the shell and eat all inside, or are there things I need to do? At least I included dressing my ham sandwich!
  8. yes! If I follow your instructions I would be eating the shell! How do I shell it and prepare it? I have one here, and it's a bit hard on the tooth with the shell on!
  9. So, you put the butter on the shell and bite?
  10. Thanks, mate, but I use Glasses Direct and their magnificent and amazingly affordable products products allow me to distinguish beauty from the beast! Seriously, I never denied the Gumpert is, emphatically, a supercar, but surely you don't think it's easy on the eye? Maybe you prefer the more aggressive look to a supercar, although I'm sure you earlier referenced the very beautiful Spyker. If I were paying the price of teh Gumpert, i'd want something that was at least attractive, rather than just startling, wouldn't you?
  11. You really need a sense of humour, Monsta, or do I have to identify sarcasm with little smileys and such? For the record, your assertion that Miura is named after 'a Spanish ranch' is a clear indication of reliance on Wikipedia, whose reference page compounds what is, in fact, a myth. Ferrucio Lamborghini always refuted the claim that Miura referred to anything to do with bulls, and it came about largely down to the link with the Lambo badge (a bull!). He indicated it was something to do with a district of Japan, for some reason or another. Still beautiful, though. Unlike the Gumpert!
  12. Monsta, Not only are your taste buds sub par but you do not know beauty when you see it. The Gumpert is called a Gumpert because Gumpert is German for 'This is a hideous artefact'; Miura, on the other hand, is Italian for sheer beauty. There ahs been nothing to surpass its sheer perfection since, and little before; are you, perhaps, mistaking it for teh Countach which does, in fact, look to have been cobbled together by a blind man.
  13. My point was, I thought, very clear indeed, for it included only three words: if you miss the point when someone writes of something 'it defines ugly' then there is something wrong; by way of explanation, my point is that hideous German car - even the name Gumpert is ugly - is, yes, you guessed - ugly. It's a supercar alright, but it's undeniably not very pretty. You want me to give you a supercar? try that new Aston - what do they call it, One 77 or something? - for a modern take on the genre, and the Lamborghini Miura for the original supercar, and perhaps the most beautiful car of all time. Don't worry, if you think they're ugly, i'll get your point.
  14. It defines ugly.
  15. You're getting chickens! Excellent move, you should pop round and check out mine!!
  16. It's a different sort of 'twang', monsta; you clearly have no palette for a great ham sarnie!
  17. What? You choose to desecrate the delicately poised flavours of ham with an aggressive twang of pickle? Are you mad? English mustard is ham's best friend. Cheese I can handle. Why do you suppose that? I use shepherds, of course.
  18. I'm interested in those plans - need an office soon.
  19. All very well if you have a snappy little red convertible at your disposal. I, unfortunately, am relegated to going downstairs and chewing on one of my chickens.
  20. This is my recipe: Get loaf of bread. Cut two slices. Butter one side each slice. Smear one slice with English Mustard (only English; if you use French or German, or anything else, you will die.) Cut slices of ham (make sure pig is dead) and place on slice of bread. Put other slice on top. Eat. Do I win a fiver?
