New pope demonstrates great taste in cars

[vernon]

If he wanted to be true to his 'humble roots' then why has he bought a car?

Keep up at the back.

He didn't buy a car. It was donated.

What qualifications do I need?

Sorry tyred, no chance.


It was that post in the GT80/WD40 thread re putting the can in the hot oven that blew your chances.

So what are we really saying here?

The traditions are dodgy, the liturgy questionable and the stance on contraception unforgivable, but if we could get the Pope to bumble about on a old big-cube Guzzi with footboards and an auto box, we might cut the Catholic Church a little slack?

I think I could live with that.

But put hate preacher Abu Qatada on an M1 Yamaha and I still think he's a looney-tunes hatebasket with serious emotional issues.

That is just how I see things.

Wrong Bike. I see Qatada as an SP370 guy myself. Old skool big single trailie, flip-flops, shorts, open face helmet and a spliff. Poppin' wheelies down the rec. Then he's chilled.

All this motor cycle talk has led to me dragging my CB500 out of the garage for a ride up to Darlington for pies, beer and an open air blues festival.

Thanks pope!

Classic Guardian letter on Saturday: "I see the Pope has got himself a Renault 4. Shouldn't it be a Papal Fiat?"
