Is there any pic of a Rolling Stone with an Alfetta?

You like Alfettas ,dead.flowers ?

Lady Gaga is a real 'Car-Girl' also...




I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield...

Come On,from me to you, I think that only a very few women know how to drive or to park a car ,lol and even less open and look under the hood .
I even saw once a woman who asked me why she couldn't get her tyres' pressure ..she had forgotten to take the valve cap off

I dare to agree....or do I?....

"I think that only a very few women know how to drive or to park a car ,lol and even less open and look under the hood ". Sway, You can't say things like that anymore. At least not in Sweden. Here you might even get sentenced for it. A well known Swedish motor journalist said that he thought that men in general were better drivers than women. They didn't manage to imprison him but he was harassed for it by angry feminists. Lucky you, who lives in France!

Come On
I dare to agree....or do I?....

Why wouldn't you dare ?
Truth is :
Women aren't good in driving cars .

I am so upset /pissed of right now because at 5:00 pm my time, a car bumped
into mine .
Not only the driver -a woman- didn't know what to do but she began to shout at me when we filled the "accident report" papers .

She had never heard about Article R413-17<<II. - Elles ne dispensent en aucun cas le conducteur de rester constamment maître de sa vitesse et de régler cette dernière en fonction de l'état de la chaussée, des difficultés de la circulation et des obstacles prévisibles.<<


No big deal ,thought, only bodywork .
French female drivers sucks -no false pride- but I am real good .

Come On

At least you could feel sorry for my car ,unless you don't drive a car .

I know you are a woman, Sway! Bad luck with the accident. I hope the woman who bumped in to you takes care of the costs via her insurance. Body work repairs can be awfully expensive nowadays. I have had a similar experience with (an older) woman driver who backed into my car. She actually blamed me for it. I don't think she had the presence of mind to understand what had happened so I remained calm. It was in the winter and she only had vision through the wind shield and didn't use the rear view mirrors (who were frosted anyway).

These are amazing! He has not only made it look like the animal, but they look alive with motion.
These items below were all fabricated from junked 1950 and 1960 automobile parts by a gentleman in Australia

Check out all the Spark Plugs.........
James Corbett uses remnants of cars from the '50s and '60s.




This is the man that converts scrapped parts of carsinto sculptures
worth thousands of dollars.
The 46-year-old Australian artist James Corbett,
creates these sculptures using salvaged old car parts.



One of the pieces, a ram made from spark plugs, sold for a whopping $23,000



His sculptures are made of gears, spark plugs, exhausts, radiators, anything that the artist can salvage.



After spending weeks dedicated to locate suitable pieces, James meticulously cleans every part and welds them together.



He said: "I was working in a warehouse of scrap and a guy I know, that
races stock cars, showed me a Trophy winner, "Fact with levers of change."
"I looked at it and I thought that I could do a much better job so I started making my own sculptures."



"After a period of time, people began to become more and more into what I was doing and now what do I with my life, is a dream come to reality."



"On average, each piece takes a little over two weeks of work,
but the larger pieces can take much longer, he says.



Corbett lives in Ningi, Queensland, Australia with his wife Jodie.



Sculptures using pieces of old cars; the French and British cars are James' favorites to retrieve.



James says that welding of the parts, and the construction of the sculpture is not what consumes most time of the artist. "Often the longest part of the process is finding old parts suitable for sculpture."



The sculptor is exhibiting his work in the Gallery ofJohn Davies in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, England, until December 19.



"My two favorite pieces that I've created for this exhibition are the ram and the wild boar," he says.

@EG ,those sculptures are amazing!
@stoneage , I've got an all-risks insurance ,so I won't have to pay for the bodywork,plus a 0,35 coefficient .

Careful Sway, sometimes even though it wasn't your fault and even though they paid for the damages, they will often raise your permiums and after a couple years you would have been better off paying for the repair yourself. If you so the math considering the time value of money, it can be surprising.

Unless the damge is over a couple thousand dollars I will usually pay for the repair myself to avoid the premium increase. I figure I'll use the insurance when some Betty bumps the truck beyond the point of recognition. Sorry about your accident. peace

Naturalust ,thanks for your concern ;the woman is 100% wrong .

I went to my insurance cie this morning and they told me my premium won't increase -in French we call it "bonus"

Since the sill was "pushed" forward ,I hope my steering column wasn'tdamaged

How did you like the dog pic btw ?

Sorry Sway but it works like this: It's the guilty parts insurance company who should take care of the costs. I guess your company has contacted the guilty parts (the woman who bumped into you) company. If you use your insurance (which you shouldn't) your premium (or bonus) will certainly damage from it whatever they tell you.

Actually, BOTH insurance companies usually get involved. They use the witnesses and police reports to determine who is at fault therfore responsible to pay thye damages.

And I loved ALL those animal sculptures, AWESOME. We have a guy around here who does similar stuff with big metal sculptures. He does dinoaurs and bison and giffarres and elephants, horses, gorillas.... But he uses iron metal sheets and basically they all turn rust colored in a hurry. Neil Young has a bunch of them surrounding the deck on his house. Big Birds in his case (throwing shadows on his eyes). peace

............................................................................. Sway's car...

ROCKMAN

well it's a fertile one that's for sure....Nice veggies! peace

My guess is that she has a car like this:



A pure work of art and one of my favourite cars. A Citroën SM 1974. But to bump into a car like this must be considered high treason...

you bet !

BTW ,I got the report from my insurance .
The other woman is 100% responsible so her insurance cie will pay for the damages .My bonus won't be damage.
Since my car will be fixed by a garage that has the agreement of the insurance cie, I even won't have to lend the money .
The garage will lend me a car for 2 weeks -the time it will take to fix my car .

Anyway,you won't believe how people -and not only women- are bad drivers in France and put their life and the others lives in danger.
Everyday I see several people running red lights, not respecting the road rules etc
