Title: Normal Vehicle to St. Joe/Omaha??
Post by: RMO 699F on May 23, 2013, 03:25:18 PM
Is anyone traveling to St. Joes/Omaha in a vehicle other than a small British Sports Car? I have sold a set of 13" minilites/tires to a guy in the KC area who says he could pick them up in St. Joe. If anyone has the extra room to convey them please contact me.
Not enough room in the gt for all of them...
Thanks!

Small British Sports cars are normal, it's the drivers that are abnormal :-)

Normal vehicle?  On drives, our club calls 'em SOBs (Some Other Brand). They have to follow in the rear so as to not spoils the view.  :)

I recently modified the acronym to include newer Jaguars & Minis (Sort Of British).  They get to file in with the other British cars.

Sorry, but I do NOT accept the new MINI as a British car.

Still assembled in UK by Brits, hence Sort Of British.

*****************************************************

And Honda's and Nissans and BMWs are assembled in the States....so are they considered "sort of American"  ?!

Don't know why anyone would want to bring something like that to a British V8 Meet.   Why back in the day........all that would get you is ridicule & disdain from Ian Pender!  :)    Don't let him see that car trailer, either!

I have been deflecting ridicule and disdain all my life...so that means nothing....now, losing respect from the Scotsman, that would be another matter!!
