Take your stinky sausages and dark bier and get the hell off my lawn. 
You see, that's all part of my ruse. Unsuspecting honda drivers look at Blimey and assume he's a piece o' crap, because, after all, aren't all British cars? Little do they know he's a rabid, wurst-eating killer Dachshund underneath...
Now, git outta here and stop messing with my British fetish.

I'm British (obviously, that is why right now my back is touching the ceiling) and I DON'T agree with the statement that ALL British cars are crap.

British? Hell yes.
But it's got one of these under the skin:
And this is what they look like when they're PLAYING.
And now, back to the topic....

I loved my old British car.
And yes people LOVE them.
And yes, some even had engineering genius inside (like the classic Minis).
But there's a reason that most of these cars in the old days were considered "project" cars...
Until you've owned a car that you had to fill up with smoke every couple of weeks to keep it running, you haven't lived.
Oh yeah, and most of that whole thing was a jab at my buddy abuzavi - he and I have a running Germish / Britman fight going on. He just happened to stumble drunk through this pub/thread and I had to get a couple of punches in. Sorry. No intention to offend anyone or any sensibilities...
Now back to the topic...
... and I over-reacted to what I perceived as a jab at us Brit's 
... sometimes I get a little defensive

Nice Stripes!
Blimey will be wearing the inverse of those at MOTD this year...
Ooooooo - you live in Anacortes? Short ferry ride away from one of my favorite places in the world (Orcas Island)....

The San Juans are one of the more beautiful places ANYWHERE, IMHO. Nope, we're from North Carolina, but we vacationed in Washington a couple of years ago. I sculpt, and one of the best sculptors in my medium (kinetic wind sculptures) lives on Orcas Island. So we took a couple of extra days and went out there. I had no idea what it was going to be like. We had perfect blue skies that week, and you could see Mt. Ranier from the top of Mt. Constitution. I was ready to pack the truck and move out there...
Taken with my little snapshot camera. The white thing on the horizon is Mt. Ranier - about 110 miles away...
I can finally post in this thread!!!
Here are Gromit's headrest decals:
Yes, I know, not the best picture(darn shadow!). I had the decals over a month and this is the first time I was able to get a picture. I hope to have better ones in a day or two.

Aesthteic Creations does awesome work. My original idea was a little different, but Mike took it and made some changes and I think they came out better with his recommendations.

I have some new stuff - but I'm saving it for the Dragon this weekend. I'll post pics next week! And I'll take photos of other great UJ stuff that I see and post them, too!
