Now we all tend to get a bit serious in the Back Room so I thought it might be time to have a few laughs. Who's going to start this thread with a motoring related joke ?

Old lady pursued by nice traffic police (to keep Mark happy!) who can't even catch her until she stops at a petrol station.

"Well, you see, officer (why do we call PCs "officer", we don't call privates that!) my petrol gauge was at zero and I wanted to get here before I ran out."

There's a Motorway and a Dual Carriageway in a really rough pub enjoying a burly pint of cloudy scrumpy to demonstrate just how HARD they are.

The Dual Carriageway is impressing these pretty little A-roads with his central reservation and the Motorway is showing off about his hard shoulder and they're getting on really well.

They are just about to take the A-Roads "back to their place" when a green piece of tarmac walks in through the door. The Motorway and the Dual Carriageway turn white with fear and they dive for cover beneath the table.

Well, the A-Roads are not impressed at all as you may imagine. The green tarmac downs a triple vodka and walks out of the bar. The Motorway and Dual Carriageway get out from under the table realising that they've blown it with the A-Roads.

The first A-road asks the Motorway "Why did you go white and dive for cover when that green piece of tarmac walked in -- you're supposed to be the king of the roads?".

The Motorway replies, "WHY? That guy's a b***** Cycle Path!!"

When I was in Asda car park a few years ago, I'd put all the shopping in, slammed the boot shut, and realised that stupidly I'd shut the keys in, and was locked out.

I tried all the doors, but with no luck, and looked around in despair, wondering what to do next. This particular Asda is right by a military base, and there happened to be a squaddie walking by on his way to the store.

I explained my plight and he offered to help. I watched as he walked round the car to the driver's side, and pushed on the door with his hip. To my amazement the lock popped up and he opened the door for me.

"How on earth did you do that?!" I asked

"Oh, it's easy," he said. "It's just these khaki trousers..."

Not so much a joke, more of a true story.

Mate of mine got pulled by plod for doing 50mph in a 30mph limit late at night. When asked by plod why he was speeding, my mate told plod that he was hurrying to the 24 hour garage to get some cigs before they closed!! Plod just told him to observe his speed more closely and let him on his way.

Another true story. Mate of mine, Keith, who\'s 18 and a right cocky so-and-so, got pulled by plod one night in full view of me and all his mates.

Plod went to give him a 7-day wonder and Keith asked \"Is it legal for me to call you a fool?\" Plod warned him it was an offence for which he could be nicked. Keith then asked \"Is it legal to think you\'re a fool, then?\" To which plod told him that that was an opinion, which was of course entirely legal. Grinning broadly, Keith then said \"Well, in that case I think you\'re a fool!\" and got back into his car.

[dunno why the obscenity was needed, it didn\'t seem to add anything to the story. I have taken it out and replaced it with \"fool\". Mark.]

Nelson Mandela is sitting at home watching TV and drinking a beer when he hears a knock at the door. When he opens it, he is confronted by a little Chinese man, clutching a clip board and yelling, 'You Sign! You sign!'

Behind him is an enormous truck full of car exhausts. Nelson is standing there in complete amazement, when the Chinese man starts to yell louder. 'You Sign! You sign!'

Nelson says to him, 'Look, you've obviously got the wrong man',and shuts the door in his face.

The next day he hears a knock at the door again. When he opens it,the little Chinese man is back with a huge truck of brake pads. He thrusts his clipboard under Nelson's nose, yelling, 'You sign! You sign!'

Mr Mandela is getting a bit hacked off by now, so he pushes the little Chinese man back, shouting: 'Look, go away! You've got the wrong man! I don't want them!' Then he slams the door in his face again.

The following day, Nelson is resting, and late in the afternoon, he hears a knock on the door again. On opening the door, there is the same little Chinese man thrusting a clipboard under his nose, shouting, 'You sign! You sign!'

Behind him are TWO very large trucks full of car parts. This time Nelson loses his temper completely, he picks up the little man by his shirt front and yells at him; 'Look, I don't want these! Do you understand? You must have the wrong name! Who do you want to give these to?' The little Chinese man looks at him very puzzled, consults his clipboard, and says:

The Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire Pit- Crew Yesterday.

The announcement was followed by Ferrari's Decision to take advantage of a scheme to hire unemployed youths from Liverpool.

The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how they were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8.4 seconds.

This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari
Management, as most races are won & lost in the pits, and Ferrari would have an advantage over every team.

However Ferrari expectations were easily exceeded, as during the crew's first practice session, not only were "da boyz from Bootle" able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had resprayed, rebadged, and sold the car to the McLaren Team for four dozen Stellas and a gramme of Charlie.

There's also the LA version of this. Man's car breaks down, he gets out, opens hood and starts fiddling around with the engine. Then he notices a guy has the boot open and is taking stuff out.

"Hey, you!" he shouts, "this is my car!"

"OK man, that's cool" come the response, "you take the front, I'll take the back!"

A bloke is stopped by the police one night. Plod comes round to the drivers window an says,

"Excuse me sir, but your nearside tail light isn't working"

Bloke gives an exasparated sigh, "Oh for heavens sake, haven't you lot got anything better to do!"
He jumps out of the car and goes to the back where he gives the tail light a hard kick. It comes on.

"There, now are you satisfied," he says sarcastically.

"Very good," says plod. "Now go round and kick the front and see if a tax disc comes up."

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question.

The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped centimetres from a shop window. For a second everything went quiet in the cab, then the driver said "Look mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the daylights out of me!"

The passenger apologised and said he didn't realise that a little tap could scare him so much. The driver replied "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today's my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving 'hearses' for the last 25 years!"

Three men were discussing their careers and the vehicles they drove.

"I'm a veterinarian", said the first fellow. "So, naturally, I drive a white 'Vette'.

The men smiled in amusement.

The second man continued, "I run a sign company, so I drive a purple Neon".

The men smiled and the first two now looked at the third to hear his answer. However, the third man was unusually quiet. The first two men prodded him to answer since they had each given theirs.

"Well", he finally spoke, "I'm a proctologist and I have a brown Probe."

Any motoring jokes ? (technical board?) - THe Growler
HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate expensive parts not far from the object we are trying to hit.

MECHANIC'S KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on boxes containing seats and motorcycle jackets.

ELECTRIC HAND DRILL: Normally used for spinning steel Pop rivets in their holes until you die of old age, but it also works great for drilling mounting holes just above the brake line that goes to the rear wheel.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

MOLE-GRIPS: Used to round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETELENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your garage on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside a brakedrum you're trying to get the bearing race out of.

WHITWORTH SOCKETS: Once used for working on older cars and motorcycles, they are now used mainly for impersonating that 9/16 or 1/2 socket you've been searching for for the last 15 minutes.

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, splattering it against that freshly painted part you were drying.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans rust off old bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprint whorls and hard-earned guitar callouses in about the time it takes you to say, "F...."

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering car to the ground after you have installed your new front disk brake setup, trapping the jack handle firmly under the front fender.

EIGHT-FOOT LONG DOUGLAS FIR 2X4: Used for levering a car upward off a hydraulic jack.

TWEEZRS: A tool for removing wood splinters.

PHONE: Tool for calling your neighbour to see if he has another hydraulic floor jack.

SNAP-ON GASKET SCRAPER: Theoretically useful as a sandwich tool for spreading mayonnaise; used mainly for getting dog-doo off your boot.

BOLT AND STUD EXTRACTOR: A tool that snaps off in bolt holes and is ten times harder than any known drill bit.

TIMING LIGHT: A stroboscopic instrument for illuminating grease buildup.

TWO-TON HYDRAULIC ENGINE HOIST: A handy tool for testing the tensile strength of ground straps and brake lines you may have forgotten to disconnect.

CRAFTSMAN 1/2 x 16-INCH SCREWDRIVER: A large motor mount prying tool that inexplicably has an accurately machined screwdriver tip on the end without the handle.

BATTERY ELECTROLYTE TESTER: A handy tool for transferring sulfuric acid from a car battery to the inside of your toolbox after determining that your battery is dead as a doornail, just as you thought.

AVIATION METAL SNIPS: See hacksaw.

INSPECTION LIGHT: The mechanic's own tanning booth. Sometimes called a drop light, it is a good source of vitamin D, "the sunshine vitamin," which is not otherwise found under cars at night. Health benefits aside, its main purpose is to consume 40-watt light bulbs at about the same rate as 105-mm howitzer shells during the Battle of the Bulge. More often dark than light, its name is somewhat misleading.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the lids of old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splash oil on your shirt; can also be used, as the name implies, to round off Phillips screw heads.

AIR COMPRESSOR: A machine that takes energy produced in a fossil-fuel burning power plant 200 miles away and transforms it into compressed air that travels by hose to a pneumatic impact wrench that grips rusty bolts last tightened 30 years ago by someone in Dagenham, and rounds them off.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to cut hoses 1/2 inch too short.

Bloke gets a job as a chauffeur, and after a few months, works his way up to a senior driver's position.
One day he is told to go and pick up a VIP at the airport - but it's a "bit of a hush-hush visit" so exercise discretion.
Lo and behold, there at the airport is the Pope!
His Holiness gets into the back of the Rolls, and admires the leatherwork, and interior, then says to Bloke "What's this thing like to drive? I used to enjoy driving a little car when I was a priest back in Poland, but since then, I've been driven everywhere, and really miss being behind the wheel."
Bloke says "no problem" and stops. Pope jumps into front seat, and bloke gets into back, and heads off down the motorway, at 100 mph!
Next thing, he is pulled over by a motorbike cop, who walks up to the car.
The Pope winds down the window, and plod walks back to his car, to radio for advice.
"I have caught a VIP speeding, what do I do?" he asks senior officer.
"What kind of VIP?"
"A VERY IMPORTANT VIP!"
"How important? A cabinet minister? A member of the Royal family? One of the Spice Girls?"
"Errrrr - I think it must be GOD! He's got the Pope driving him around!"

Not a joke that you can tell, but a prank played on some of the other lads working on site back in the eighties.

We jacked up the front of their Escort van (FWD type) and lowered the bottom wishbones (at the outer ends) onto carefully crafted pieces of wood such that the tyres were about 1/4" from the road surface. The blocks were quite invisible to the unsuspecting.

Quite amusing when they jumped in for their quick getaway.

Three blokes die in a smash and arrive at St.Peter's Gate.
"You've got to prove how good you've been" says St. Pete.
First bloke says, "Well, I was married for ten years and I was only unfaithful to my wife twice"
"Not bad," says St. Pete, "Come on in. But Heaven's a big place and you'll need a car to get around. Here's the keys to that Ford Escort over there."
Second bloke says, "I can do better than that, I was married 20 yrs and I was only unfaithful once."
"Excellent," says St. Pete, "Come on in. Here's the keys to a BMW"
Third bloke says, "Well I can beat both of them. I was married for 30 yrs and I was NEVER unfaithful."
"Brilliant !" says St.Pete, "Come on in, there's the leys to a Rolls -Royce, help yourself to the champagne in the rear."

A few days later the first two blokes are driving around Heaven together and they come across the third sitting on the kerb by his Rolls-Royce, sobbing his heart out.

"What's the matter?" says the first bloke - "Come on, life can't be bad - you're in Heaven, you've got lots of champagne and you're driving a Roller !"

"Yes, I know" says the weeping bloke, "but I've just passed the wife driving a Skoda."

Any motoring jokes ? - volvoman
Spot on Andy !!

Someone once said that 'cliches are only cliches 'cos they're true'. Does this apply to 'gender stereotypes' ??
Wash what you're doing, young man - THe Growler
Long live gender stereotypes say I.

Some weeks ago I mentioned the local Bikini car wash which went down a storm during the sweltering summer months. Our entrepreneur had to cool it after a few days (a) because of the traffic he caused, (b) because the combination of hot weather, nubile young ladies, soap and water was a bit too much for one or two of the customers, and (c) following the predictable deputation of shrivelled harridans from the local Women's Rights Watch.

(This last being one of those organisations, as so often is the case, less well known for any particular contribution to the cause it purports to espouse, but rather more remembered for the ferocity with which it pounces on anything which looks as though it might lead to male enjoyment).

Anyway, Ferdie, our entrepreneur in this case, is not a man to stop his quest for a dollar, and he has now launched a new scheme. First there is Business Class, where you pay a charge for washing and interior cleaning, while you sit in the lounge reading the paper, and are brought coffee and donuts by your hostess. Then we have the Earlybird Special: discount price from 0630-0830, the Rush Hour Special discount 1730-1930 (this becomes Happy Hour at weekends) and the Birthday Special (bring ID proving its your birthday and pay half-price).
Ferdie tells me he has plans for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's along similar lines. Each wash also entitles you to points which can be set off against future washes.

So much nicer than sitting in one of those things watching the brushes wear your paint off, I thought.

But Ferdie's got the last laugh: "Rush Hour", "Early Bird", "Vacation Special" and others, as everyone here knows, are parlance for the 2-hour time-slot rates offered by the no-tell motels for what is known as "short-time" in the trade.

Have a nice weekend.
Wash what you're doing, young man - Ian (Cape Town)
There was a similar case here a while back - involving a service centre. (Company cars a speciality, all major credit cards accepted, by the way...)
Your car wouldn't get the full service which you (or your company!) paid for, but you would...
However, human nature being what it is, there is always one who spoils the party, and in this case, a gentleman had his alignment checked far too often... the whole deal was exposed when an eagle-eyed accountant started asking questions about the validity of a lot of the work supposedly being done on one of the company vehicles.

Did you hear about Prince Charles today?

He was driving out of Balmoral in the Aston-Martin Vantage, when he felt a bump under one of the wheels.

He got out and saw one of the Corgis squashed flat.

He decided to hide the dead Corgi in the bushes and not to tell ?mummy?.

As he reached the bushes with the flattened dog he saw a lamp, he gave it a rub and out popped a genie.

The genie was so chuffed to be free that he said to Charlie that he would grant him any wish.


?Please bring the Corgi back to life, so that mummy will not find out what one has done? said Charlie.


?Oh I am so sorry? said the genie, ?bringing animals back to life is very very difficult, could you not ask for something else instead, anything else at all??

?OK, ?, says Charlie, ?can you make Camilla good looking??


?Let?s have another look at that Corgi,? said the genie.

For those of us that have, like me, ever used a Haynes Manual:

Haynes: Rotate anticlockwise.
Translation: Clamp with molegrips then beat repeatedly with hammer anticlockwise.

Haynes: This is a snug fit.
Translation: You will skin your knuckles!

Haynes: This is a tight fit.
Translation: Not a hope in hell matey!

Haynes: As described in Chapter 7...
Translation: That'll teach you not to read through before you start, now you are looking at scary photos of the inside of a gearbox.

Haynes: Pry...
Translation: Hammer a screwdriver into...

Haynes: Undo...
Translation: Go buy a tin of WD40 (catering size).

Haynes: Retain tiny spring...
Translation: "Jeez what was that, it nearly had my eye out"!

Haynes: Press and rotate to remove bulb...
Translation: OK - that's the glass bit off, now fetch some good pliers to dig out the bayonet part.

Haynes: Lightly...
Translation: Start off lightly and build up till the veins on your forehead are throbbing then re-check the manual because what you are doing now cannot be considered "lightly".

Haynes: Weekly checks...
Translation: If it isn't broken don't fix it!

Haynes: Routine maintenance...
Translation: If it isn't broken... it's about to be!

Haynes: One spanner rating.
Translation: Your Mum could do this... so how did you manage to botch it up?

Haynes: Two spanner rating.
Translation: Now you may think that you can do this because two is a low, tiny, ikkle number... but you also thought that the wiring diagram was a map of the Tokyo underground (in fact that would have been more use to you).

Haynes: Four spanner rating.
Translation: You are seriously considering this aren't you, you pleb!

Haynes: Five spanner rating.
Translation: OK - but don't expect us to ride it afterwards!!!

Haynes: If not, you can fabricate your own special tool like this...
Translation: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Haynes: Compress...
Translation: Squeeze with all your might, jump up and down on, swear at, throw at the garage wall, then search for it in the dark corner of the garage whilst muttering "b*****" repeatedly under your breath.

Haynes: Inspect...
Translation: Squint at really hard and pretend you know what you are looking at, then declare in a loud knowing voice to your wife "Yep, as I thought, it's going to need a new one"!

Haynes: Carefully...
Translation: You are about to cut yourself!

Haynes: Retaining nut...
Translation: Yes, that's it, that big spherical blob of rust.

Haynes: Get an assistant...
Translation: Prepare to humiliate yourself in front of someone you know.

Haynes: Turning the engine will be easier with the spark pugs removed.
Translation: However, starting the engine afterwards will be much harder. Once that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach has subsided, you can start to feel deeply ashamed as you gingerly refit the spark plugs.

Haynes: Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal.
Translation: But you swear in different places.

Haynes: Prise away plastic locating pegs...
Translation: Snap off...

Haynes: Using a suitable drift...
Translation: The biggest nail in your tool box isn't a suitable drift!

Haynes: Everyday toolkit
Translation: Ensure you have an RAC Card & Mobile Phone

Haynes: Apply moderate heat...
Translation: Placing your mouth near it and huffing isn't moderate heat.

Haynes: Index
Translation: List of all the things in the book bar the thing you want to do!

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange:

Officer: May I see your driver's license?

Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI.

Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle?

Driver: It's not my car. I stole it.

Officer: The car is stolen?

Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the owner's card in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there.

Officer: There's a gun in the glove box?

Driver: Yes sir. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the trunk.

Officer: There's a BODY in the TRUNK?!?!?

Driver: Yes, sir.

Hearing this, the officer immediately called his captain. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation:

Captain: Sir, can I see your license?

Driver: Sure. Here it is.

It was valid.

Captain: Who's car is this?

Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration.

Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it?

Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it.

Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box.

Captain: Would you mind opening your trunk? I was told you said there's a body in it.

Driver: No problem.

Trunk is opened; no body.

Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in the trunk.

Driver: HA! Oh boy, that's a good one. I'll bet he told you I was speeding, too!

Yesterday, scientists revealed that beer contains small traces of female hormones. To prove their theory, the scientists fed 100 men 12 pints of beer each and observed
that 100% of them gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became emotional, and couldn’t drive. No further testing is planned.”

Even Prince Charles drives an old banger, he got the aston for his 21st. wot is he now, 50 odd?, so it'll be road tax too.

the sad thing is, he was driving out of Balmoral in the Aston-Martin today, when he felt a bump under one of the wheels.

He got out and saw one of the Corgis squashed flat.

He decided to hide the dead Corgi in the bushes and not to tell ?mummy?.

As he reached the bushes with the flattened dog he saw a lamp, he gave it a rub and out popped a genie.

The genie was so chuffed to be free that he said to Charlie that he would grant him any wish.

?Please bring the Corgi back to life, so that mummy will not find out what one has done? said Charlie.

?Oh I am so sorry? said the genie, ?bringing animals back to life is very very difficult, could you not ask for something else instead, anything else at all??

?OK, ?, says Charlie, ?can you make Camilla good looking??


?Let?s have another look at that Corgi,? said the genie.

Father O'Flannagan dies due to old age. Upon entering St.Peter's gate, there is another man in front, waiting to go into heaven. St. Peter asks the man, "What is your name what did you accomplish during your life?"
The man responds "My name is Joe Cohen, and I was a New York City Taxi driver for 14 years"
"Very well," says St. Peter, "Here is your silk robe and golden sceptre, now you may walk in the streets of our Lord."
St. Peter looks at the Father, and asks "What is your name and what did you accomplish?"
He responds, "I'm Father O'Flannagan, and have devoted the last 62 years to the Lord."
"Very well," says St. Peter, "Here is your cotton robe and wooden staff, you may enter."
"Wait a minute," says O'Flannagan, "You gave the taxi driver a silk robe and golden sceptre, why did I only get a cotton robe and wooden staff?"
"Well," St. Peter replied, "We work on a performance scale, you see while you preached, everyone slept, when he drove taxis, everyone prayed!"

This one is rather rude....

A guy is taking a taxi from downtown to the airport. As they get close to the outskirts the guy asks the taxi driver how much it will cost. The driver tells him $35. The guy says, "I've only $27. Do you take credit cards?" The driver tells him he doesn't. So, the taxi pulls over to the side of the road and throws him out. About 2 weeks later, the same man was in the same city needing a taxi to the airport. He looks down the queue, and sees that same taxi driver in line. He goes to the first cab in line and says, "How much to the airport?" The driver tell him $35. The man says, "ok, will $100 get me a b'job as well?" And the driver tells him to get out of here. He goes to the second driver and says, "How much to the airport?" The second driver tells him it's $35. "Will $100 get me a b'job?" The second driver tells him to take off. He goes up to the third driver who doesn't recognize him and says, "How much to the airport?" The driver says, "$35." The guy says, "Let's go!" As they go past the first 2 taxis on the stand, the guy in the back gives them the thumbs up sign

A young blonde female stock broker was bored with her BMW. It lacked individuality and besides, every other broker in the office had one. She fancied something a bit more individual, perhaps an MG convertible.

She visited a local car dealer and saw a beautiful Jaguar XK140 convertible. It was wonderfully restored and she fell in love with it's gorgeous lines and red paint. An empty cheque stub later and off she was, tearing down the leafy country lanes enjoying her beautiful new car.

Her long blonde hair was flowing in the wind, music blaring from the stereo, what could possibly be better? What could possibly go wrong?

As that thought crossed her mind, there was a splutter from the engine and the car slowly coasted to a stop. She got out and lifted the bonnet and concluded that she didn't have a clue as to what was wrong. She grabbed her pocket phone and called the AutoClub. A short while later a bright shiny yellow tow truck pulled up behind her.

'That's a lovely car,' says the mechanic. 'What seems to be the matter?'

Well, it just conked out I'm afraid.'

'Let me have look.' He set to work and ten minutes later the engine was purring like a cat again.

'Thank goodness,' she said. 'What was the matter ?'

'Simple really, just c*** in the carburetor,' he replied.

Looking shocked she asked, 'Oh, OK. How many times a week do I have to do that?'

A man and his wife were driving through country on his way from New York to California. Looking at his fuel gauge, he decided to stop at the next service station and fill up. About 15 minutes later, he spots a Mobil station and pulls over to the pump.

"What can I do for ya’ll?" asks the attendant. "Fill ‘er up," replies the driver. While the attendant is filling up the tank, he’s looking the car up and down.

"What kinda car is this?" he asks. "I never seen one like it before." "Well," responds the driver, his chest swelling up with pride, "this, my boy is a latest Cadillac DeVille."

"What all’s it got in it?" asks the attendant.

"Well," says the driver, "it has everything. It’s loaded with power steering, power seats, power sun roof, power mirrors, AM/FM radio with a 10 deck CD player in the trunk with 100 watts per channel, 8 speaker stereo, rack and pinion steering, disk brakes all around, leather interior, digital instrument package, and best of all, a 8.8 liter V12 engine."

"Wow," says the attendant, "that’s really something!"

"How much do I owe you for the gasoline?" asks the driver.

"That’ll be $30.17," says the attendant. The driver pulls out his money clip and peels off a $20 and a $10. He goes into his other pocket and pulls out a handful of change. Mixed up with the change are a few golf tees.

"What are those little wooden things?" asks the attendant.

"That’s what I put my balls on when I drive," says the motorist.

"Wow," says the attendant, "those Cadillac people think of everything!"

A traffic patrol cop notes a car travelling at 85 mph in a 70 mph limit.

Putting on his lights and siren he follows the car and makes it pull over. He gets out of the patrol car and approaches the driver of the other.

"Excuse me, sir", starts the officer, "are you aware you hav been travelling at 85 mph and the speed limit is only 70?"

"I'm sorry, oficer, you must be mistaken, I never break the speed limit".

"Oh, come on, Henry," says the other occupant in the car, Henry's wife, "you know you always go at least 80 mph on this road if you think you can get away with it!"

"will you shut up!!" shouts an annoyed Henry.

"Also sir, I notice your right hand rear ,light isn't working. I'm going to have to book you for that as well">

"Not working?" demands Henry "well, it certainly was this morning. It must have just blown only now."

"Now then Henry, you know that's not true", chips in wifey, ":I've been nagging you to get that fixed since last week".

"Dammit, you stupid woman, will you keep your mouth shut!"

"Sir, there's something else I have to report you for. YOu were not wearing your selt belt, which of course is a further offence".

"Of course I was", says Henry. "I just took it off when I stopped the car".

"Now then, Henry", chimes in the wife yet again. "YOu know how you always forget to buckle up. How many times have I told you?"

"For God's sake you silly b****, will you shut the hell up!"
Henry by now is very angry.

The officer turns to Henry's wife. "Tell me madam, does your husband always speak to you like this?"


"Yes, he's always the same after he's had a few drinks....."

Guy (or gal if you like, it's optional) buys a car from a dealer.
A week later he comes back and complains about a terrible smell when the engine gets warm.
The garage takes the car into the workshop, puts it up on the ramps and checks it over. Nothing wrong.
The mechanic takes it out on a road test. Nothing wrong.
They call the owner, he comes over and they tell him they can't find anything, and no smell either.
So the owner takes the mechanic out on a test drive.
Well, he is THE worst driver in the world. He revs the engine up, drops the clutch and they hurtle off like at Santa Pod. Come to a junction and the anchors go on and they slide to a halt, just missing the car in front. Lane changes come ten a minute. Near miss after near miss. And so it goes on for several miles. Finally the driver exclaims "There's that smell" and slams to a halt.
He turns to the ashen-faced mechanic sitting next to him and says "There you are, can you smell it too?"
"Smell it, Sir, smell it" cries the mechanic. "I'm sitting in it".

A very successful lawyer parked his brand-new Lexus in front of his office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a truck passed too close and completely tore the door off of the driver's side. The counsellor immediately grabbed his mobile phone, dialled 999, and within minutes a policeman pulled up.
Before the officer had a chance to ask any questions, the lawyer started screaming hysterically. His Lexus, which he had just picked up the day before, was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter what the body shop did to it.

When the lawyer finally wound down from his ranting and raving, the officer shook his head in disgust and disbelief.

"I can't believe how materialistic you lawyers are," he said. "You are so focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything else."

"How can you say such a thing?" asked the lawyer.

The cop replied, "Don't you know that your left arm is missing from the elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit you."

"Ahhh!" screamed the lawyer. "Where's my Rolex!"

Sorry Pug, present company excepted in this joke.

A truck driver amused himself by running over lawyers as they walked down the side of the road. Every time he saw a lawyer walking along the road, he would swerve to hit him. There would be a loud "thud", and then he would swerve back on the road.

As the truck driver drove along one day, he saw a priest hitch hiking, he pulled over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"

The priest said he was on his way to his church up the road.

"I'll give you a lift."

The priest climbed into the passenger seat and the truck driver continued down the road. Suddenly, the truck driver saw a lawyer walking down the road and instinctively swerved to hit him. At the last minute, he remembered he had a priest in the truck and swerved back onto the road. Even though he knew he missed the lawyer, he still heard a loud "thud." Unsure of where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors. When he didn't see anything, he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry, Father. I almost hit a lawyer."

The priest replied, "That's OK, I got him with the door."

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated : "if GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."


In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:-

If GM had developed technology like Microsoft; we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought "CarNT", but then you would have to buy more seats.
6. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive-but would only run on five percent of the roads.
7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "General Protection Fault" warning light.
8. New seats would force everyone to have the same sized butt.
9. The airbag system would ask, "are you sure?" before deploying.
10. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
11. GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they neither need nor want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Dept.
12. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
13. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
14. It wouldn’t recognise that any other types of car exists.

Speeding? USA Style

Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a State trooper sees a car puttering along at 22 MPH. He thinks to himself, "This driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his blues and twos and pulls the driver over.

Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies -- two in the front seat and three in the back - all the passengers are sitting completely terrified, eyes wide and white as ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"

"Ma'am," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but you should know that driving significantly slower than the limit can also be dangerous."

"Slower than the speed limit?" she asked. "No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-Two miles an hour! I always stick exactly to the limit" the old woman says a bit proudly.

The State trooper, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.

"But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time." the officer asks.

"Oh, they'll be alright in a minute officer. We just got off Route 139."

"You know, somebody actually complimented me on my driving today.

"So I was in my car, and I was driving along, and my boss rang up,
and he said 'You've been promoted.' And I swerved.
And then he rang up a second time and said "You've been promoted

And I swerved again.
He rang up a third time and said 'You're managing director.' And I

World Records (NON-PC)

Women:

Car Parking:
The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman, was one
of 19.36m equivalent to three standard parking spaces, by Mrs. E.
Simpkins (GB) driving an unmodified Vauxhall Nova Swing on 12th October 1993.
She started the manoeuvre at 11:15am in Ropergate, Pontefract and
successfully parked within three feet of the pavement, 8 hours 14mins
later. There was slight damage to the bumpers and wings of her own and the two
adjoining cars, as well as shop frontage and two lampposts.

Incorrect Driving:
The longest journey completed with the handbrake on, was one of 313 miles
from Stranraer to Hollyhead, by Dr. Julie Thorn, at the wheel of a Saab
900 on 2nd April 1987. Dr. Thorn smelled burning two miles into her journey at
Aird, but pressed on to Hollyhead with smoke billowing from the rear
wheels.
This journey also holds the records for the longest completed
with the choke fully out and the right indicator flashing.

Traffic Light Cosmetics:
The longest spell spent oblivious to traffic lights whilst applying make
up was one of 1hr 51mins 38secs. by Miss J. Dobson at a road junction in
the centre of Preston on the 1st August 1975. Miss Dobson, a piano
teacher, beautified herself through 212 cycles of the light, creating a tailback
of irate motorists stretching 28 miles towards Leeds.


Men:


Loudest Car Stereo:
The Saisho stereo fitted in the Mk.II Escort belonging to Wayne Fletcher
(GB) reached a momentary peak noise level of 312dB whilst waiting at
some traffic lights next to some girls in Stockport, Cheshire on 8th
July 1988. This noise level is equivalent to 8 Concordes taking off inside
the car.
The girls walked off.

Car Customisation:
Judged as a proportion of the overall value of the car, the accessories
fitted to the Mark II Escort of Wayne Fletcher (GB) add up to the
world's most expensive car customisation project at 105761%. Between 8th
March 1986 and 22nd September 1996, Fletcher has spent a grand total of
$63,456.99 at the Stockport branch of Halfords in attempt to attract girls to
his vehicle. His fruitless purchases include a Paddy Hopkirk Full Body
Styling Kit ($3500), 'Nightrider' style Disco Stop Lights ($199), Split 45 Weber
Carburettors x4 ($200), Scorpion Talking Alarm, ($500) and a Chromium plated
Mock Twin Exhaust Extension ($285). The car is currently valued at $50 to $60.

Longest Wheel Spin:

The greatest length of time a car has screeched its wheels to impress
some girls was achieved on 9th July 1988 by Wayne Fletcher (GB) in
his Mark II Escort. When traffic lights in Stockport, Cheshire turned green
Fletcher attempted to pull off at such speed that his front wheels spun for an
amazing 42 secs before the car began to move.
Both tyres fell to pieces and the clutch dropped out twenty yards down
the road. The girls walked off.

Top Tips (VIZ variety- but clean)

MOTORISTS. Pressing your 'fog lights' switch a second time after the fog has cleared will actually turn your fog lights off.

A TEASPOON placed in a glass on the back seat of your car makes a handy audible gauge for road bump severity.

BUS DRIVERS. Pretend you're an airline pilot by wedging your accelerator pedal down with a heavy book, securing the steering wheel with some old rope, and then strolling back along the bus chatting casually to the passengers.

FOOL other drivers into thinking you have an expensive car phone by holding an old TV or video remote control up to your ear and occasionally swerving across the road and mounting the kerb.

WHEN out driving always turn left. Then, should you become lost, you can find your way home by reversing the procedure and always turning right.

SAVE petrol by pushing your car to your destination. Invariably passers-by will think you've broken down and help.

RE-SPRAYING your car? Cover it with 'Cling Film' first. If you don't like the new colour, simply peel it off and start again.

AVOID being wheel clamped by jacking your car up, removing the wheels and locking them safely in the boot until you return.

AVOID parking tickets by leaving your windscreen wipers turned to 'fast wipe' whenever you leave your car parked illegally.


Urban myth??

Subject: Mr Plod clocks geezer at 300mph and nearly gets fried.

A report has been received that two traffic patrol officers
from North Berwick were involved in an unusual incident
whilst checking for speeding motorists on the A1 Great North
Road, between Oldhamstocks and Grantshouse.

Last May, they were using a hand-held radar device to 'trap'
unwary motorists on the Edinburgh to London trunk road.
One of the unnamed officers used the device to check the
speed of a vehicle approaching over the crest of a hill.
He was somewhat surprised to find that the speed
recorded was off the scale , in excess of 300 mph. The $5000
machine had then seized up and could not be re-set by the
bemused PCs.

The radar had in fact latched onto a NATO Tornado aircraft
in the North Sea, which was taking part in a low flying
exercise over The Borders and Southern Scotland.
Following a complaint by Sir William Sutherland, Chief
Constable of Lothian & Borders Police to the RAFG Liaison
Office, it was revealed that the officers could be classed
as 'very fortunate'!!

The tactile computer onboard the Tornado had not only
detected and jammed the hostile radar equipment, but had
automatically armed a Sidewinder Air-to-Ground Missile,
ready to neutralise the perceived threat. Luckily the Dutch
Pilot was alerted to the missile status and was able to
over-ride the automatic protection system before the missile
launched.

The Police have so far declined to comment, although it is
understood that officers will be advised to point the radar
guns inland, in future.

One day God calls down to Noah and says, "Noah me old china, I want you  to make me a new Ark".

Noah replies, "No probs God, me old Supreme Being anything you want after all you're the guv'

But God interrupts, "Ah, but there's a catch. This time Noah, I want  not just a couple of decks, I want 20 decks one on top of the other".

"20 DECKS!", screams Noah. "Well, OK Big Man, whatever you say.  Should I fill it up with all the animals just like last time?"

"Yep, that's right, well . . sort of right . . this time I want you to fill it up with fish", God answers.

"Fish?", queries Noah

"Yep, fish . . well, to make it more specific Noah, I want carp - wall to wall, floor to ceiling -Carp!"

Noah looks to the skies. "OK God my old mucker, let me get this right, you want a New Ark?"

"Check".

"With 20 decks, one on top of the other?"

"Check".

"And you want it full of Carp?".

"Check".

"Why?" asks the perplexed Noah, who was slowly but surely getting to the end of his tether..

Some more car-related top tips.

A next-door neighbour's car aerial, carefully folded, makes an ideal coat hanger in an emergency.

Motorists. Enjoy the freedom of cycling by removing your windscreen, sticking half a melon skin on you head, then jumping red lights and driving the wrong way up one way streets.

Nissan Micra drivers. Attach a lighted sparkler to the roof of your car before starting a long journey. You drive the things like dodgem cars anyway, so it may as well look like one.

Happy Friday.

OK - one for Audi lovers:-

A German guy approaches a prostitute. "I vish to buy sex vit you".

"OK" says the girl, "I'll charge 100 Euro an hour".

"Ist goot, but I must varn you, I am a little kinky".

"No problem" she replies cautiously, "I can do a little kinky".
So off they go to the girl's flat, where the German produces four large bedsprings and a duck caller.
"I vant you to tie ze springs to each of your limbs".

The girl finds this most odd, but complies, fastening the springs to her hands and knees. "Now you vill get on your hans und knees" She duly does this, balancing on the springs.

"You vill please blow zis vistle as I make love to you."
She finds this odd, but figures it's harmless, and the guy is paying. The sex is fantastic.

She is bounced all over the room by the energetic German, all the time honking on the duck caller.
The climax is the most sensational that she has ever experienced, and it is several minutes before she has recovered the breath to say:
"That was totally amazing, what do you call that?"

"Ah", says the German, "Four-sprung duck technique".

Promted by a recent posting: some more as above

A married couple are driving along a highway doing a steady eighty
kilometres per hour. The wife is behind the wheel.
Her husband suddenly looks across at her and speaks in a clear voice.
"Darling," he says. "I know we've been married for twenty years.but I
want a divorce."

The wife says nothing, keeps looking at the road ahead but slowly
increases her speed to ninety kph. The husband speaks again. "I
don't want you to try and talk me out of it" he says, "because I've been
having an affair with your best friend, and she's a far better lover
than you are."

Again the wife stays quiet, but grips the steering wheel more tightly
and slowly increases the speed to one hundred and ten.
He pushes his luck. "I want the house," he says insistently. Up to
120."I want the car, too," he continues. 130kph. "AND," he says,
I'll have the bank accounts, all the credit cards and the boat."

The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete flyover.
This makes him a wee bit nervous, so he asks her..
"Isn't there anything you want?"

The wife at last replies - in a quiet and controlled voice. "No, I've
got everything I need." she says.

"Oh, really?" he enquires, "so what have you got?"

Right before they slam into the wall at 160 clicks, the wife turns to
him and smiles. "The airbag."




Female Guinness Book of Records

Driving too close
The record for the longest time period sat in a car without uttering
"you're driving to close..." is held by a Mrs Shipham of Cheltenham.
On 18th August 1996 her husband agreed to take her shopping in London and it was on this journey that she clocked up a whole 2 hours 21 minutes 43 seconds before breaking the silence.
Even though it has been confirmed that 2 hours 21 minutes and 33 seconds of that was spent sleeping - the record is still
valid according to Guinness officiators.

Software Engineers - frostbite
I wish I could claim credit for this but I just lifted it from another forum for your delight:-


A software engineer, hardware engineer and
departmental manager were on their way to
a meeting in Switzerland. They were driving
down a steep mountain road when suddenly
the brakes failed. The car careened out of control,
bouncing off guard rails until it finally ground to a
halt along the mountainside.
The occupants of the car were unhurt, but they
had a problem. They were stuck halfway down
the mountain in a car with no brakes.
"I know" said the manager. "Let's have a meeting,
propose a Vision, formulate a Mission Statement,
define some Goals, and through a process of
Continuous Improvement, find a solution to the
Critical Problems and we'll be on our way."
"No," said the hardware engineer. "I've got my
Swiss army knife with me. I can strip down the
car's braking system, isolate the fault, fix it, and
we'll be on our way."
"Wait," said the software engineer. "Before we do
anything, shouldn't we push the car back to the top
of the mountain and see if it happens again?"

This is actually a true story. Many years ago I wass pulled over by a copper for speeding. In the sarcastic manner that they often used to adopt he started by saying "I can dercribe your driving in words of two sylables" and then after a short pause "absolutely diabolical". I couldn't keep a straight face, which definately wasn't the best thing I could have done.
