Myself and a friend (who happens to work at Benetton as a programmer) were
discussing the brute ugliness of the old Benetteon front wing - and what it
could be used for now they have a new one....

The result was this...

Ask him to say hi to Richard Marshall (Benetton electronic engineer and
insane Peugeot 205GTi hillclimber...), eh? :-)

That's a great way to give up drinking, everytime you appraoched the car, it
would take off alittle bit (like 180kph in 4secs.) and then stop.  Just
don't let Jensen drive it, unless drinking martinis.

Yes I did - with the heading including an 'OT' statement for those who have
OT stuff filtered out.

However - I thought the group would appreciate it - and going on the replies
(apart from yours) and the email I've recieved - I was right to do so.

Your problem is?

  I laughed to myself,  I smirked a-bit.  It was a good post with interest
to ras'ers.  Now we can debate just which sim models the weight of booze on
the nose best.
  Well Done Douglas, good to see those R&D folks earning their money.  :)
