A really shitty day at work, but somehow I managed to struggle through ..............Whist I watched these three being tested on the taxiways

My ears are still ringing from the noise

I am sorry you had a lousy work day, but with those outside the window, I have a lot of trouble working up a LOT of sympathy for your plight!

Oh look three quick Volks Wagons. Still I guess thay are better than those fast fiat's out of Murgello.

May I dare to suggest a '68 'vette with rocket assisted take off would beat the pants of any of them?

Just imagine how much fun it must be, to be stuck in a stationary traffic jam, going nowhere, on the M1 motorway.....(or anywhere else!)...in one of those!.... ...!

How embarrassing!... ....!

Nice to look at, tho'.... ...!

Three funny coloured Audi's there... Did they have the same trouble as Clarkson when trying to get fuel in?

Getting fuel into them would be the least of his worried. I don't know what the octane level of the fuel was, but the exhaust, the smell was very overpowering and made me feel sick.........and I was out in the fresh air in the middle of an airfield......

Bad day at work ?

your good days must be awsome

That's just great! You just can't get good help these days!! I tell them just to take them out to wash and wax and what do they do?!?

Tell those three they're fired!!!

The mechanics are obviously under strict orders, but they still had some fun as they drove them back up the taxiway to be put to bed. A quick blip of the throttle to get the back end to twitch or to leave a nice set of rubber marks behind...........If I was them I know I would too Also There was only one test driver and he was driven off in a minibus after his hard hour of driving three Gallardo's up an down the taxiway doing acceloration tests....

I suppose, with the engine at the back, you put the shopping in the front, under the bonnet/hood?... ...!

It would be a right rigmarole trying to get it in and out of Sainsbury's car park!.... ....!

At least with your old Allegro, being publically humiliated by getting beached on speed bumps in Sainsbury's car park is not very likely.....

I've told you Trans-Atlantic types before - it's all very well having you 9.8L V8s taking up half the chassis and using half of the Saudi oil reserves to get from 0-60, but as soon as you get to a corner you find yourselves wrapped around the nearest tree!

How many times do I have to say this.. We don't have corners here!
