Let’s say you were out driving about England in oh say, your TVR Chimera. There you’d be, exercising its hoary V8 and taxing the tires, and enjoying the hell out of life. You probably wouldn’t be surprised to come around a hedgerow and spy the local constabulary tracking you with a radar gun and flipping open their citation book while prepping to say where’s the fire Guv’nor?
What you might be surprised to find is that it isn’t a policeman at all but actually a prop man holding a hair dryer. Upon closer examination you might be even more shocked to discover that it’s. . . Jeremy Clarkson.

Lindale Ohio is the worst by far!
Completely off topic:
I haven't been on for a few weeks, getting moved to Colorado and starting the new job and all. And I'm going to be crazy busy for the next few months, so I still won't be on much, but I just wanted to say:
Colorado is a hoon's paradise compared to St. Louis. So many cool, old cars still on the road. So many 4 door Subaru Outback sedans- I love those things, and I don't think I ever saw one in St. Louis. I saw an awesome Brat my first day in town. K5 Blazers all over, as well as Broncos if that's your poison. A good number of older modified Land Rovers, the most ridiculous (in a good way) Samuri's you'll ever see. This place is awesome. I'm never leaving.
Also, I was in a group at work, I said I had an AMC Spirit, and everyone knew what I was talking about. Awesome.
Since you're in Colorado now say hello to $kaycog when you see her.
Welcome to the Centennial State. Hit up Lyons northwest of Longmont; there's a speciality used car shop there that sells Pinzgauers and old Mercedes and other Hoonworthy stuff. I forget the name of it though; it's been featured on this site…
One of my long time best friends moved to West Slope Colorado. He came home two weeks ago for his little sister's graduation, and all he did when we hung out was brag about all the cool old cars he's seen. I cried manly internal tears thinking about the iron oxide slowly eating away my car out in the driveway.
Welcome to Colorado! Yes, it is an awesome place!
I'm really disappointed at you, Jeremy. Should be a V8 hairdryer!

A hair dryer!!! <img src="http://2.s09.flagcounter.com/count/hRN/bg=FFFFFF/txt=FCFCFC/border=FFFFFF/columns=1/maxflags=1/viewers=3/labels=0/";;;;;; alt="Free counters!" width="1" height="1" border="0" /> <img src="http://2.s03.flagcounter.com/count/tcRC/bg=FFFFFF/txt=FCFCFC/border=FFFFFF/columns=1/maxflags=1/viewers=Visitors/labels=1/";;;;;; width="1" height="1" border="0" />
Hairdryers blow.
Speed traps suck.
