The totally off-topic thread

Yes we used to drive Toyota vehicles and graduated to the Lexus brand in 1994. A heart operation helped remove the sticker shock from my life but I have never bought a brand new one. I still prefer buying them 2years old at about half the list price with 40,000 kms on the clock.
Some vehicles just love going to the repair shop but the Lexus/Toyota brands we have owned just needed regular book servicing.
Hopefully Princess Fiona can get her wheels back moving quickly.

Anyone following the Australian cricket team?

Yes, but apart from Marsh and Warner, very disappointed with their application.

The over in which Clarke was bowled showed he was all at sea with spin.

Bowlers have toiled for no reward. Missing so many catches on Day 1 didn't help

Sounds like the excuses the opposition used to use?

I'm meant to be going to the G on Friday. But without Maxwell and Warner I am reconsidering.

We should go to a game sometime

Have driven Lexus vehicles for 20 years and never had an issue. Very reliable transport and the car knows not to stop outside any massage parlors nor brothels. It is a pretty clever car.

Doesn't the Covemobile stop at red lights?

Rather surprised this morning to receive an email from my GM about my timetable/roster issues. I was even more surprised to see that he wrote the reply on a Sunday.

He wants to meet up to discuss the issues further.

This never happens to me.

 

[erkpod]

Well my car wouldn't know what a massage parlour or brothel was so no problems there.

Some probably have though - liked being shipped off to Japan as scrap, to come back as shiny new Lexuses, or is that Lexi?

That's not a "Happy Ending"; that's reinCARnation ...

I saw a Volvo on the way home where the second O was replaced by an Apple logo on the back tail gate. Not you, PF?

Nah, mines still in the garage. Currently driving a Hyundai i20 until it's fixed.
