    Oh dear - now I had been taking you seriously up until now!!! You got me!
    Brilliant. Lichfield - a place. So funny. (They do Evo's too)

    Lichfield is a town in Staffordshire :confused:

    Yeah I wouldn't miss the obvious bit either.

    But emergency ops like that can be nasty, I had an emergency ectopic pregnancy removal at about midnight (years ago), horrible.
    They take you in without the premeds, so you are wide awake, not even a little doped.
    I was bloody terrified seeing all the "tools" laid out.

    Lichfield is a company - they import and take UK spec cars, mainly Japanese and 'modify' them for racing etc. Look them up - they know their stuff. They are not in Staffs tho..

    Gotta hold my hands up now and say that son has sold the Lichfield scooby - he now has just the PPP one, which he is selling. Scoobies and Evo's are becoming very common now and he likes to be more of an individual. I find them too rigid for comfort (age I guess) and prefer the ST for the ride.

    See the bit in red is double dutch:o

    But I know what evos are:D
    I watch Top Gear with DH, I think they are a great threesome:D (oh, that sounds a bit smutty doesn't it:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: ).

    I think I need to go to bed now, I think I will take a trip to the badlands of Kent tomorrow to worship at the shrine of Bluewater:D

    Fair enough. There are lots of companies that mod Jap cars. ;)

    Definitely said Lichfield on the number plates - don't know if that would be the company or the place. It was a couple of years ago now.

    I rarely see evos, but i see lots of scoobies. There are about 3 in the street i live in. haven't seen an evo for months :confused:

    I'm sticking with my Civic Type R ;)
