Have you ever seen iron filings leap together when a magnet is thrust in?

Well, I was driving in a multistorey car park today, when I could hear what sounded like a gaggle of rug snipers. Not particularly wanting any of them to run in front of me I waited until I was about ten feet away and gave a biiiigggg rev. The little feckers all jumped together & hugged ma!

mind you, when I came to leave the barrier wouldn't work, then mysteriously opened on it's own. I'd used my credit card to get in, so next time I try & use it I'll get the "customer present" message. That'll in in two weeks, so, £3.50 an hour for 14 days to argue about!

Brilliant! That was one of the criteria for a new car for me, fast, loud etc. but also had to scare animals and small children at twenty paces.

Yep, Chimeara will do that every time!

Anybody else had the "customer still present" deal at a car park? It was a real fecker last time it happened. I actually think it will prevent me using that particular car park again!

You know you have the right car when young boys run indoors holding their privates as drive past!

I started my Tuscan up in an Aldi car park in Germany earlier this year.
Heard this scream and crying, looked in the mirror to see a little boy (about 4) on the other side of the car park crying and pointing at me as he ran to his mum.
She gave me a very stern (but attractive) look.
Had to smile.

We had a convoy of TVRs at our wedding (you know who you arewink). The page boy (4yo) was really excited by the cars until... they started.

He's now scared whenever his parents tell him me and the wife are coming over, in case we bring the 'scary car'.

Hlafords carry an imitation chammy leather that, according to the blurb on it, 'picks up water like a magnet'.

Shame it doesn't pick up chick like a magnet! (they'd sell a few more!)
