French cars are fighting back!
In other auto de café news, the French burning classes have announced plans for yet further days of action unless new employment laws are rescinded by April 17. Not a happy day historically, as it turns out.
(Via reader Erik)
Terrible, Terrible form.
Stance to wide, NO shoulder turn, awful, can’t involve knees and legs or roll ankles, backswing outside the line, arms, hips and knees not pointing at target, wide stance lessens power….just terrible. I’d say this swing will lead to a dreadful slice.
“Driver injures French protesters
A motorist has driven into a crowd of student protesters in Paris, lightly injuring at least seven of them.”Huh, both the headline and lead sentence mentions the person behind the wheel. Thank god it wasn’t caused by one of those self-aware, intelligent, murderous SUVs. Those things breed like the dickens.
In the BBC article:
“...by the Renault Twingo…”
Renault named their car “Twingo”? Twingo? TWINGO?!?!? Good god, that is the lamest car name that I’ver ever heard. EVER!!

Chiraq should be sent a l’echafaut for what he has made afrance become.
years of corruption, never a sincere word uttered, unbending support for arafat and saddam hussein. His only postive action - to utter the word “bollocks” at Margaret Thatcher at an EU summit meeting. A woman with twice his IQ and three times his guts. She who put an end to the socialist rot that has now completely engulfed France through Chiracs inactions. Poetic Justice ?Barbara: The Nova thing is an urban legend.
If he’d been driving an Olds 88 he’d have routed the bastids…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 04 08 at 07:18 PM • permalinkFrom the picture, French cars are fighting back like the French Army fought the Germans - by rolling over.
Posted by perfectsense on 2006 04 08 at 07:55 PM • permalinkPerhaps a two state solution. France, and Frankenstine. Could they agree to share the capital? Probably not, since with les miserable misfits (“I blame the parents”) it is impossible to agree to anything except what they want today, which will be escalate to a new demand tomorrow.
IR laws are an irrelevance, since they are, as the French might say, unemployable.Apparently the pajero is “wanker” in Spanish. Rather apt for some of the drivers.
Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 04 09 at 12:49 AM • permalinkThere used to be an Australian finance company with the name CAGA. They had the name on top of their Sydney Head Office in a huge lit up sign that was part of the CBD night skyline.
Now the story goes that the Spanish meaning of this word is quite unprintable. It would shock and bemuse Spanish-speaking visitors to the city. Especially when they were told this was a finance company.
Urban Myth ...?
Wow, cars fighting back! I guess there’s more steel than I thought in those French buggies.
It’s very Steven King-ish, isn’t it?
On reflection, he should have used a Toronado. The way those barges fishtailed, he could have gone through a much wider swathe…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2006 04 09 at 11:52 AM • permalinkI wonder if he got the idea from that would-be jihadi in North Carolina?
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2006 04 09 at 06:45 PM • permalinkAnd ‘youths’ had also better watch out for bulldozers , and I’m not just talking about those sissy Israeli Rachel-Corrie-squashing ones.
“I was run over by a Twingo.”
For several years, I worked in a large metropolitan ER, and I can tell you that that sentence would have kept us going for several weeks, with honorable mentions for years afterword.
P.S. I’m glad to see that something in France is fighting back. Maybe all those Yanks, Brits, Canucks, etc., dead on Normandy’s shores wasn’t a wash after all.
With typical French flair and elan the employment laws that started all the car cooking have been abandoned.
Nous nous rendons (We Surrender!)
Everybody point and laugh at the ever so sophisticated French and their enlightened system of lawmaking.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2006 04 10 at 05:23 AM • permalinkThey have the Twingo in Germany too. I’ve also laughed at the Punto as well. This would have been even better if the kamakazi had been driving a Smart car. Then when they rolled it over, 23 clowns would have fallen out. Loads of fun for the entire family at Circus Chirac.
Next time, try one of those monster trucks.

17 April is a dark date indeed: On that date in 1989 I lost my comb (peace be upon it).
