Hello Roy.

10 May 06 19:36, you wrote to me:

 RW> Too bad that's the only car you own...

It suits my modest needs. I do not have this urge to contribute to the madness
of ruining this planets by burning as much oil as I can.

 MvdV>> Not when it comes to speed that is. It has other good points
 MvdV>> though.

 RW> None that would be better than my Camaro.

It is not a fuel hog, it is reliable, needs little maintenance, is big enough
for me and my girl, is small enough for city use and it is strong enough to tow
my caravan over the Alps. That's all I need.

 MvdV>> I am not coming.

 RW> Chicken.

You really believe that seven letter word will make me mad enough to be so
foolish as to spend a couple of thousand bucks just to get a car across the
Ocean so that you and I can play "mine is bigger than yours"?

Mwaah!

 MvdV>> You made the initial challenge, and that means I get to choose
 MvdV>> the time and the place.

 RW> There is no such rule in my challenge.

There is in *my* rules. It is very simple: I play by *my* rules or I won't
play. Capice?

 RW> Chicken... cluck, cluck, cluck.

How long did you practise on that chicken act?

Exactly what one could expect of someone who likes to play "mine is bigger than
yours." My Volvo does not smoke, makes less noise than my lawn mower and just
does what it is designed for: drive.

 RW> PS - the best you can say for that wholwo is that it's lasted longer
 RW> than anyone expected from crap like that.

Then maybe there is something askew with your expectations.
