...in the Isetta :shock:
Went to the monthly classic car meet today and when leaving drove through the precinct as usual but ended up going through the inflatable finish line of a triathlon with crowds lining the street waving and cheering me on, it was ok as I had my own two man police escort on mountain bikes up front to guide me through the crowds

Is it just me or does the title of this thread not remind you of those Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse sketches of the 90's where some Tory M.P had to make an excuse for a homosexual liaison.
Then Unfortunately I found I d slipped into the Gentleman. There can be no other excuse for entering a Triathlon, surely its a metaphor. 0 -
