This is my dream car:

Wow. A cyclist may have just died in the Giro d'Italia. Bad crash at speed and he looked very limp. Televised way more than usual.

Update: mouth to mouth and is now moving.

My old neighbour had both a Maserati and a Ferrari. Seriously, who's he trying to impress?

I think for my unlimited funds car I'd go a Bentley or failing that a Lambo, you just never see Bentkey's around while I'll see the others occasionally.

A rangie is still my true dream though!

I really hate four wheel drives, but I would love a Range Rover lol. And I would love a Bentley too... or a Maybach. Just something stupidly expensive, I agree.

Yeah there is something about Range Rivers hey, I was totally jealous of baby Princess Charlotte for getting to have a spin in one at just one day old.

Haha yeah a Maybach would be awesome, is as they have re-released it recently, but umm definitely not in this lifetime. I could buy several rangies for the price of one, which says a lot.
 
Whilst still vaguely on this possibly boring topic of motor vehicles, how nice is this but also embarrassing for me. I went to buy fuel yesterday and being a dumbarse I actually had no money on me to pay for it, I'm sure the servo have procedures for people similarly failing at life but he let me have it for free. I was happy to come back later in the day but he insisted I take it. I think having a baby with me helped, I looked like a poor mother unable to even spare $40.

Nice guy. I feel like I should now buy someone else petrol. Umm anyone want some?

He sounds like the godfather of petrol stations.

What a lovely gesture @jessy_girl. "Pay it forward"
 
jessy_girl said:
Yes I thought so too, I always like the idea of paying things forward, not sure of the logistics with this one but I'll work it out.[DOUBLEPOST=1431396752][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh, just that you have a unique way of looking at some things - now you can't deny that.

I guess you are right. But I was being tongue in cheek with my godfather comment.

When you 'pay it forward' does the deed you do have to be of the same value as the deed that was done to you?

Um... I would say no. But like, if it's a specific sort of... thing, yes. Oh my god that doesn't make any sense, does it?

I mean like, you know how there's that story of the people in, I dunno, Starbucks or whatever who were just paying forward coffee? Like, in that instance, yeah, it's the same value because you're just limiting the pay it forward system to Starbucks. But if someone randomly does something really nice for you in a "general context" and you feel the need to pay it forward, then you can just do whatever you want.

I still feel like I haven't explained that well. Oh my god I hate when I can't explain things properly! Anyway.
