Lol, had Rhys's one from another source in email this morning, maybe we should start a thread giving directions.
I was at school when Gene Pitney charted with 24 hours from Tulsa, popular as our school was at Tulse Hill in London and most of us wanted to be 24 hours away- heading in the opposite direction.

LMAO
Been peeking at my screen Ian? - I was going to mention "24 hours from
Tulsa" earlier, but it must be one of the few songs worse than "Show me
the way to Armadillo" so I opted for "San Jos" instead

Found it while looking through another forum I frequent.
Tickled me a bit so I thought I'd share it.

Talking of other forums, searching for info on E28 528's, roadtests etc, turned up loads of bmw/528 stuff including another forum.
Was surprised to see someone had posted how he(?) wouldn't buy new again as he was so pleased with his dealer's 2nd owner 528 touring, instead of congratulations, 6 out of next 7 posts slagged him and car off. What pleasure do they get out of doing that?

Doesn't ring any bells but those lyrics look pretty bad and I'm
strangely reminded of "we got ourselves a convoy" and those Smokie and
the Bandit films *shudder*
I really need to put my therapist on speed-dial

Lol, my fave bit from Convoy was the black female driver "widow woman" overturning her truck, kicking it and saying "god d*** white truck, new I should have bought a black one" Hmmm, should have cast Ally in the film!

I tried to post an assurance that nothing untoward would occur and I got a message saying I had no access to it, which only happens when its moved to moddygyrators section and deleted from our section.
