Drivers pictures

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

Knight rider was the highlight of the week, along with the A-Team! I just can't imagine anyone doing anything else when it was on :eek:
I have cousins ranging from 24 to 14 and they ALL remember knight rider.

Here goes.....

All this talk of Knight Rider and the Ego-King otherwise known as David "Beaverwatch" Hasselhoff reminded me of the California Highway Patrol pair known as CHiPs in the early '80s....

It cracked me up when I was down at Camden Market shopping and passed this guy with a CHiPs pisstake t-shirt on.John and Ponch were both grinning with the Colgate "ting" coming from their teeth,leaning against their Pan-European-type crumby bikes......The wording on the t-shirts amusingly read....."John and Ponch.........useless American twats!!!!!!!!

Its not often I belly laugh but that one was enough to make me stumble into the fruit and veg stall!!!! :D

Just to reopen this thread, I went round to Stu’s (stu chacks) house today to help him change the steering fluid. Anyway after taking the cars out for a spin we stopped in a car park not to far away for a few pics
