Caption contest

"No, don't worry about the performance numbers, Mike. Those poor sods could care less. We just slap on a few quid worth of parts, put your dad's name on this dodgy plastic cover here and, presto, we are minting $6000US with every car. It's f~<king beautiful."

"Imagine that in my hand here, I am strangling someone's neck. A good thing to do while in this position would be to slam their head into the intercooler. Now warranty probably wont cover this. Oh and if you want to be in this cult you will have to shave your head like ours..."

See Mike, what we do is put some JCW badging all over the place and this XAlfa guy from NAM will go balistic. Them Berkeley types tend to do that.

It's great that you can admit this publicly. That's the first step to recovery. Alcoholism is a treatable disease. There are people out there who can help.

"After the fun and glamour of the Pulley Party, Bob's 19% unit had a hard time adapting to life under the bonnet. Alone and despondent, it chose to take its own life rather than continue rotating endlessly in the searing darkness at thousands of revolutions per minute. Can we really blame it? Stop the madness! Free the pulleys now!"

"You see, we're so certain the pully won't come off, we'll back it with the factory warranty."

No, no, one more time Mike. The piston's connected to the connecting rod, the connecting rod's connected to the crankshaft, the crankshaft...

or...

And then the flux capacitor discharges at 88 mph and ...

or...

The bird in the intercooler isn't surprising, the cat either since it probably went after the bird, but the crabs have us stumped.

I see. So I am either a Mr. Galleria Frappulatte, or an alcoholic. That's a very LIBERAL labeling system you have. Very Berkeley of you.

don't feel so bad, you couldn't have known I had my left hand in there when you turned the key... look, I can still play basketball with this hand
or

see what happened was I was pulling on the intercooler and the screw was on top of it see... then it just sort of fell in the hole. don't worry, I'm sure a magnet will get it out. cheerio

The bald guy is obviously trying to answer Mikes question of "Why doesnt this thing make the claimed 210hp?"

And judging by the looks of it, he is coming up with some really creative sh#t.

I'm not even going to try and spin his bullsh#t.

If I was Mike, I would fire him and get someone who actually has a clue to do the job right.
