TMS thread for the England v Netherlands cricket World Cup game today was comparing England players to cars.

So I thought we should give it a try for this season's Town squad.

I will start it off with an easy one:

Dossevi - like an East German Trabant, perpetually in the slow lane causing hold ups.  Often seen on the hard shoulder with smoke coming from under the bonnet.

Douglas..................A Saab Turbo.......great engine but sooooooooo quiet.

we have a load of lada riva's with the odd xr3i in need of an engine tune.

I think our entire team is like a NASA moon buggy. Impressively engineered on paper yet apparently only used to the ball moving under a gravitational force of about 1/6th of it does at the county ground.

Alan O'Brian is the original ford GT....Fast in straight line

the driver of our cars has put diesel into the petrol tanks.

Head gasket has gone in most of the cars in the carpark

I have another:

JP McGovern - like a Ford Capri, once stylish, with a few good turns and still sought after by the nostalgic, but owner struggling to resist desire to upgrade to an Audit TT

  The whole squad are like Dagenham Dustbins....look OK, and modestly priced, but underlying flaws lead to short longevity and depreciation in value.

 The salesmen in the showroom, can get the odd mark-up on a flashy model....but MOT failure likely within a couple of years.

 Bits start falling off at the merest sight of Dagenham....hence the name.

 Bring back Maurice Earle.....

Andy Frampton - Humber Super Snipe turning circle thereof (or Routemaster bus take your pick)
(" De Humber Snipe, jus' piss in de tank, good for anudda fiftee mile" - I.Amin

We have all the momentum of a freight train... on a Hornby railway.

Phil Smith - A Chevrolet Lacetti. A solid enough performer, but handling can be a bit shit at times.

Michael rose would be a ford Ka. Cheap, not very good, and a little girly

More a GT40, looks goo, goes fast, forever breaking down.

Chariie Austin Metro - something different at entry level but long term prospects were limited

Alan O'Brien and Vincent Pericard discuss the relative merits of the Citroen.

Fucking hell, Reg. The PC brigade will be coughing up a lung when they see that pic;-)

Why the fuck is O'Brien in black face?

That's what worried me, FB. Take the image down beore some cunt reports TEF to the race relations jobsworth motherfuckers.

It think reg is just going a bit senile, I'm sure he just meant it terms of noddy characters.

Indeed, apart from the senile bit, you'll be telling me that the saintly Enid Blyton was a racist next.

I did get a bit excited at the news, that a previously unknown Blyton book, Mr Tumpy's caravan has been found....I suppose it's too old to be based on the adventures of axs.

And why the fuck is Ferry in the background wearing a dress?  :headhurts:

I thought he was calling the players bell-ends

This is simply amazing!!

The more I look at this, the more I am not sure which is the footballer and which is the car.   It's a class pic FB I have to say.
