Pincher Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Can't find a link anywhere, but there is a story in the paper today of an 85 year-old woman who stuffed her Rolls Royce Silver Spirit into a harirdressers, in Torquay, Devon. Must have been laughing at Ari's hat and lost concentration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ari Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 We all drive Rolls Royces down here CG. Yup, here it is [ QUOTE ] The accident is the latest in a string of road crashes in the Bay involving elderly drivers of automatic cars. [/ QUOTE ] Says it all really. I wonder if the local paper just keep a standard report format and just change the make of car and premises destroyed and reprint? All joking aside, one of these old dears will kill someone one day. It's a miracle that each time this has happened there's been no one on the pavement as the car has gone "out of control" and ploughed into a shop front or whatever. And I wonder if the driver will be prosecuted? Doubt it very much. You can bet your life if a younger person "lost control" and ploughed through a shop window they'd be done for it.

lottiefox Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 And another one for Ari - whilst listening to the Mika CD I was just struck by the lyrics in this..(nowt to do with cars, sorry!) Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) lyrics Big girl you are beautiful Walks in to the room Feels like a big balloon I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful' Diet coke and a pizza please Diet coke I'm on my knees Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful' You take your skinny girls Feel like I'm gonna die Cos a real woman Needs a real man is why You take your girl And multiply her by four Now a whole lotta woman Needs a whole lot more Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge Find yourself a big lady Big boy coming around And there we gonna do baby No need to fantasise Since I was in my prizes A watering hole With the girls around And curves in all the right places Big girls you are beautiful Big girls you are beautiful Big girls you are beautiful Big girls you are beautiful Walks in to the room Feels like a big balloon I said, 'Hey girls you are beautiful' Diet coke and a pizza please Diet coke I'm on my knees Screaming 'Big girl you are beautiful' You take your girl And multiply her by four Now a whole lotta woman Needs a whole lot more Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge Find yourself a big lady Big boy coming around And there we gonna do baby No need to fantasise Since I was in my prizes A watering hole With the girls around And curves in all the right places Big girls you are beautiful Big girls you are beautiful Big girls you are beautiful Big girls you are beautiful Get yourself to the Butterfly Lounge Find yourself a big lady Big boy coming around And there we gonna do baby No need to fantasise Since I was in my prizes A watering hole With the girls around And curves in all the right places Big girls you are beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance premiums are so high for young drivers because they're "high risk", but surely the number of stories we hear about involving old people crashing just near where Ari lives would make them an equally high risk! What's more, they're only going to get worse; they can't learn from rookie mistakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
