Post by: mercenary for hire on September 12, 2017, 10:47:42 am: It's worth mentioning that all the knobs and dials and other bits in the Teslas are supplied by Mercedes.They have the engineering skills to make decent electric car.I read recently that they're very close to getting dragged into the deisel mess that VW started.

That reminds me of the best one-liner I heard over on Smashey, aka Roy, and Nicey's, or Double Deuce's old site, Bubba came back at me with alarming alacrity when I mentioned Gene Pitney, caught in the gay electric chair by Marc Almond, singing "24 hrs from Tesla".

Post by: mercenary for hire on September 13, 2017, 11:12:08 am: Sb has been logged in recently.We're probably like the unwelcome noisy relations that stay over every so often.

Where's Forbidden/AMG gone?I'll tell him the place is open again when I see him around the green.
Title: Re: Will we all get Mercs
Post by: The Liffey Lip on September 13, 2017, 11:48:20 am: SB might ruffle peoples' feathers but he's great craic and he doesn't whinge or publicise his petty foibles like so many aul geebags on here. Bring him back, I say....no more PC, safe as houses neo-liberal bolloxology. And now is the winter of our discount tents, as he might say.

Yep. That is him alright. Bit like that tin-foil header living out in Area 51 there in Roswell.
