HA clearly you no nuffing of the power of a propa blue passport, the whole world will be at our nees it'll mean we can..... Keep the fish we catch, not that British people eat monkfish or we'll be able to drive on the left again... In British built cars that don't start or have doors that fit.

@Therifleman I had the misfortune to drive two of these masterclasses of how not to do anything.
The fist one drove under it's own *power
but I flicked a switch and this incredible racket started grinding away in the back, I thought a wheel was falling of, it turned out to be the rear wiper.
the second one didn't go and was being towed 20 miles behind a subaru justy, the metro almost crashed twice and it's brakes failed because it had never moved so far or fast in it's life.
*note to non British car owners. It's normal to point out when a car could move under it's own power, it was rare, very rare.

@Therifleman land rover, they we so bad they were good, only the British army would choose a vehicle made from reconstituted egg shells as it's main runabout, but to be honest I'd rather risk copping it in one of those than going 500yds in a pig, they were awful.
