Grit in the Gears

I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Top Gear Again.

You may recall I earlier posted the guys from BBC's 'Top Gear' programme, risking their lives poking fun at rednecks?
Well, last night I was watching an episode of their show where the three presenters had a challenge, to buy a 1970s british 'classic' car...
(for classic, merely read 'one that has not quite finished falling apart yet') and submit it to a series of increasingly silly endurance tests. Here is the final one.

I think my old landrover would beat even Jeremy's rover, in the rate at which water fell out of the bottom. Maybe I should put the floor screws back in.
