Pogue Martin Reboul -- "Let's Pretend Hooligan"

Legg inn av D. Spencer Hines » 04 sep 2007 19:37:55

Pogue Reboul [Martin Reboul, the poster] is not a Real Hooligan -- just a
"Let's Pretend Hooligan" with Dreams of Greatness.

However, he was foolish enough to get into a knife fight a few months ago
when the stupid, drunken lout managed to get a knife stuck all the way
through his hand, in a bar fight, which put a severe fright into him and
left him with some debilitating nerve damage.

That put The Fear Of God in him, for a while.

Pogue Reboul is famous for his Infamous Loud, Drunken & Loutish Behavior --
particularly in East London.

'Nuff Said.

My trusty Triumph Herald (KA 'The Black Bastard")

Not a Vitesse?

I'm surprised.

They were a real hooligan's car

Mind you, I had a Herald in 1971, a rather nice estate.

Chassis fell to bits after a couple of years...

Of course -- cheap, inferior British cars.

Many Americans buy an excellent car and keep it successfully for 20 years --
here in Hawai'i we don't drive long distances. A friend has 145,000 miles
on a 22 year old van -- and it has held up beautifully.

I might point out that Hawaii is the only state where rust clauses in
the new car warranties do not apply.

Why's that?

In the UK you can't exclude places on a whim.

In fact I think guarantees are now EC wide.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

If true, another case of Brussels telling the Brits what they can and cannot
do.

For GM and Toyota that is simply untrue, hardly surprising as
Hawaii is easy on cars compared to Ontario, Quebec, New York etc.

I don't know about other brands.

Exactly. Look at the Honolulu ads for used cars, "mainland import no
rust". Should mention all Pintos (and Vegas) were rust breeders.

Barbara Adams lives in rural Hawaii. Really rural Hawaii. She is a
professional bureaucratic problem-solver, mediator and mentor to those
in need. She especially likes to see how many miles she can squeeze
out of her cars before Hawaii's notorious rust finally claims them.
She says that one of the most useful tools to keep in her car at all
times is her sense of humor. Her editing contribution was primarily in
the areas of content and concepts and was especially valuable because
of her expertise in keeping cars like old Pintos with football-sized
rust holes running as long as possible.

Apparently many car companies (Toyota and Honda certainly) like to do
corrosion testing here in NS

I remember the first models of the VW had, what, 17 horsepower engines.
But I thought they had upped the HP a good little bit by 1968.
They were still grossly underpowered.

I had a 68 VW that was so weak I had to draft 18 wheelers to get down the
Interstate without being run over.
---------------------------------------------------


Nonsense!

I had a '56 VW Beetle that handled very nicely in running down to New York
or up to Boston, Vassar in Poughkeepsie or other women's colleges, on the
Interstates, from New Haven.

Never had a bit of trouble from it or keeping up with the traffic flow.

I also drove it through the mountains of West Virginia, long before Bobby
Byrd got the super highways put in. No problems there either -- except for
the time the drunken/sleepy, trucker almost drove me off the side of the
mountain. The VW tight steering saved me there and I managed to dodge him.
