That may well be an early (and really rather promising) contender for the weirdest posting of 2006.

Yes, this could be considered inane babble, but please don't delete it - it's rather good inane babble.

Yes, please tell us what you are taking. It is the answer to my prayers, everything will be different and so exciting. My boss will become a super model, my desk will become a tank and my computer will become a boat on the red sea. I will be in heaven!
Please tell me...

Thanks Tyro, you are right in one respect, it is inane though it does have a motoring link. In fact I am disapointed that no other motoring/cullinary analogies have been suggested, cornflakes, toast?

You've got it! though perhaps 2CV rather than Mini.
|
|
Surely a 2CV would be ma petite chou. Or perhaps a crepe.
|
|
So whats the Creme de la Creme?
|
|
Don't know about Crème de la Crème, but the Mondeo should be grey porridge.

And a 'Maigret' Citroen is fine old Burgundy...

Most welcome on a cold morning, warming, satisfying, healthy, wholesome, economical, perhaps so ....

But for being Italian and not French a 612 Scagletti would fit the bill, otherwise a Veyron because Bugatti is at least a French name.

Ok, ok, perhaps I should have said French brand, he made cars in France after all, to be clear Alsace was passed from Germany to France during the time that Bugatti was based there accordingly the cars that he is famous for were produced in France.
Did you know that the trains run on the right in Alsace, as in Germany where as in the rest of France they run on the left as in the UK.

I thought all 2cvs were crepe!

Transit van. An early Lada is a belt of seriously methyl-polluted vodka, a Smart is a decaf latte and a Bentley R-Type Continental a dram of decent malt.

Few random suggestions:
E-type jag (six cylinder)= fillet steak, rare
E-type jag (V12) = sirloin steak with all the fat on
Power steering = non-stick saucepan (possible to do without, but much more work)
MGB = home-made beef & ale pie
Mondeo/ Vectra = heinz beans. Boring but actually quite nice!
Turbocharger = hot chilli sauce
VW golf = Entemanns cakes. Look good but stodgy & not as nice as you think they should be
Kia Sedona = large donner kebab. Lots to enjoy & great value, but somehow not as nice as a proper meal
Any supercar = Fois gras. Amazing, but makes you feel a bit guilty
Any SUV = Kendal mint cake. Horrible, but has its use in the right context (ie halfway up a mountain!!)OR Lard & chips.
Mustang (bullit) = corn beef hash. Delicious, no nonsense.

I think I'm misunderstanding this thread.... but hey, why not?
Lacetti (Daewoo) - pasta in funny shapes
Kia Ora - an orange car
Colt - horse meat
Cayenne - pepper
Kangoo - Australian stew
Fortwo / Forfour - a set dinner
Civic - a municipal banquet with a boring speech by the mayor
Ignis - a barbecue
Swift - your digestion after eating curry
Verso - tummy upet
Corsa - Ardennes as opposed to Brussels pate
Polo - a mint with a non-fattening centre
Something tells me the mods will close this thread - but at least it's clean and motoring-related, so I hope they'll allow us a little frivolity.

On that basis Avant a Fiesta should be most fun and an Escort, well ...!

and again, following Avant, a Berlingo is a real sweetie.

This means that my Renault Laguna would have to be a bowl of bran flakes.....
Rather mundane and boring, but there for a reason and gets the job done ;o)
|
|
Following that theme, a Kangoo would be a bowl of bran flakes left overnight - mundane, boring, gets job done but also deeply, deeply unpleasant.
