It feels great to own a 75

apywell · 23rd July 2008, 08:14

Was starving hungry yesterday lunchtime and popped to the local Burger King. Once i gave my order in another young chap leaned out of the window and was looking into my car. "I'm getting one of these at the weekend" he said. "What are they like to drive". He had a smile from ear to ear as I was telling him. I reassured him about the parts situation. Then others started to pay interest in the 75. He's getting the 2.0 v6. I said he should check this site out.

A long queue had formed behind me, but once again it made me feel proud to own a 75.

Vincent: And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris?
Jules: They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese?
Vincent: No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what a Quarter Pounder is.
Jules: Then what do they call it?
Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King.

I have to agree Jules, but when I only have 15 mins to get into town to see a show, there is never a small family run cafe anywhere in sight.

Burger King? Mc Donalds?

Bring back the Lyons corner house or the Cadena cafe

Some will remember, most will not

Two tourists were driving through Wales.
As they were approaching the town of

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll

they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town.
They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch.
As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the employee,
"Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us?
Would you please pronounce where we are ... very slowly?"
The girl leaned over the counter and said,

"Burrrrrrrr, gerrrrrrr, Kiiiiing."
