 How cool are these little bleeders? I wanted one as my first car about nine or ten years ago but couldn't find one. Still aim to own one at some point. If ever a car was ideal for a Gixxer lump, this is it!  |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

I believe BOSS has been common parlance since 1961. Along with SKILL, it's a much underused term of appreciation.
I should like to add that the term HINK or HINKING is my fave of disapproval.
Sooky Whizzers are deffo not HINKING.

BOSS was very much the adjective of choice of my cheeky scouser sidekick when i was working at Skelmersdale.

Skill is one I've never used in everyday parlance.
I am, however, pleased with a simple 'quality...'

We used to call them TV cars as the engine cover looks like the back of an old television. A lad on my course at art college had one, we used to laff at him at the time. He used to be able to drift it round the roundabout outside the college in great style.

Skill is a good word, i remember using it from school along with Rad.
Rad had a brief re-outing not so long ago where i overused it and then put it away again.

Hmm, I agree Rad is a bit too ‘avant-garde’ at the moment. Skill and quality, and occasionally boss, are all far more suitable right now, rad’s still a bit ‘on the fringes’. What about ‘Mega-ace?’ I use that sometimes. And for negatives, of course ‘pez’ ‘village’ and ‘toilet’ give good results.
