    Default How in the world does body work on a Civic turn into this??

    So earlier this summer Kai took the Honda Civic and stuffed it into a wall at Watkins Glen. At a picnic this summer, a few of us attempted to do some body work on the car with a big hammer. Somehow Google didn't see things as we did and interpreted it all a bit different. I normally refrain from posting these on this forum, but this is too funny to pass on. I'm just glad the Blethens have several months to forget all about this before seeing me (actually hope that's not the case!).

    So here goes the article

    Guaranteed a laugh even if it's at our expense. lol Oh, you be quite Rallo!

    Well, thanks a ton Dave "The other Honda Honey" Gran!

    Just reminding you that I still plan to show up on a paddock or two this season... with peoples' memories very, very fresh... and the pink "R" that you stuck on the Civic doesn't help my case...!!!

    "Bodywork" may have been misleading.

    As are probably the terms "Nut", "Stud", "Shaft", "Rod", "Lube", "Sweating" and "Banging".

    Hmmm Dave you do drive a yellow banana.
    And Dave correct me if I am wrong but I think you do get pleasure out of "lapping" your competition... and I have witnessed you "banging" a few weird things at the track.

    Is being "Quite Rallo" a new gay term I'm not familiar with?
