Irony is a quality lost on him. I bet he photographs buses when he visits "the big city."

A visit to Venice brings to notice how much the Venetians pilfered and stole from every culture around the Mediterranean, and then stuck the artifacts on their buildings to show their wealth and status. Of course, cars would be useless there if allowed. All but a handful of streets are narrow lanes between buildings, some only as wide as three feet. Bit like living in a maze.

Yes it was Mallory thank you for reminding me . He was an incredible bloke . Just think about that feat if you get time to visit the Campanile .

Dunno if you will get the chance but there is superb driving to be had in Tuscany the food and wine aint bad either !

Oh I do apologise. I had clean forgotten that this was your website with which to publish your poorly written misspelt drivel on any subject (particularly not about cars) that suits you. This is a car website for goodness sake! Noone's interested in your holiday stories.

Noone's? As I said, irony is lost on you. Lucky for you there's is no "Big Guffaw" smiley.

The old ones are still the best, Sportswagon!

I did see two diesel filling points for speed boats. Amazing how many car manufacturers monopolise boat engine design and sales.

I suspect that the word irony may not be in your dictionary if you consider a typo to be the same as habitual poor spelling. It is noted that the word 'drivel' wasn't contested though.

No one, not noone's. Poorly written misspelt drivel indeed!

No need; by sheer chance the spelling is correct. And you don't require the redundant "though" at the end of your sentence. (Incidentally, how long has your sentence to run?) 42 posts: 37 gratuitous abuse tossed at members, only 5 contain token mention of cars ... plus a dose of abuse. Ah, well, you'll get the hang of it if you keep practising.

You'd enjoy Venice. Mind you, berthing your City Rover might be a problem.

Party
