Quoting grizz for those who donĀ“t like pickup trucks (or simply have missed this): Close to the wind, Juvenile, purple. Call it what you like, but some businesses and names just beg to be highlighted. A few dealer names form the USA that made me chuckle. Was not going to start a thread on that, as they are truck related. Dealership names and badges from the USA Hope they are OK. Imagine that conversation involved: "I insist that both our last names are involved!" "Seriously, we just CAN NOT call our business Small Johnson!"

Found this as I'm researching buying a Clio 182 Of course..... If you look at it again, the Renault logo is a box. Cat litter tray? Go see if you can figure out what a box š¦ is in Afrikaans Spelling is DOOS And see if you get the meaning. Will change perception again. PS. I would also like a Clio 182 on my drive.

Due to shift pattern and lack of sleep you might need to explain that one, sorry! As part of my research, I also found this, you only need to watch the first 20 seconds or so...

I guess you'd call this tether plane racing. Some real serious business.

I think it's called "control line"? IIRC
But a lot of my early, formative years were spent reading American modelling mags, so somethings have different terms...
I still remember being told off for saying "Allen wrench" instead of "Allen key" by my old dad!

Nearly made me do it just watching.

I've still got a control line model aircraft hanging in my garage they used to have combat competitions, two aircraft with streamers on the tails, the idea was chop your opponents streamer off with your prop.
