Of course, in my day, they didn't have any parking tests, which explains why I'm no good at that particular skill. <BR/><BR/>I always liked the idea of taking my test in a road roller, because you would be exempt from having to do the "turn in the road". Though you'd probably have to drive road rollers for the rest of your life, and whilst you're going to impress the girls when you tell them you drive a Roller, you won't get a second date ;-)Brian o vretanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982178574498189251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155163465692365863.post-21737049859937522642008-12-23T23:27:00.000+00:002008-12-23T23:27:00.000+00:00Brilliant idea in principle, but try passing your ...Brilliant idea in principle, but try passing your test in one of those.

It has a big "boot" as you call it, that will hold everything from groceries to bicycles to um...well, everything else.<BR/>Since it seats 11, it would be great for carpooling. And it would be perfect for a little homeschool education. <BR/>At school, they only have maps of stars. In your vehicle, you can take them right to the stars. Perfect.<BR/>I think this would definately help me win that "My kid is smarter than your kid" pissing match amongst the other mothers.Tracy Rambles On And Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928404796336909746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155163465692365863.post-49008096334643702172008-12-23T23:05:00.000+00:002008-12-23T23:05:00.000+00:00EEEEEElllleeevennnnth!EEEEEElllleeevennnnth!Tracy Rambles On And Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928404796336909746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155163465692365863.post-11110831402008473842008-12-23T17:43:00.000+00:002008-12-23T17:43:00.000+00:00FADKOG:Given that they spent $180 billion on the s...FADKOG:<BR/><BR/>Given that they spent $180 billion on the shuttle program, I don't expect they'll be in the mood to barter.
