<HTML>Er, after more ferreting it turns out they did actually make cars.
Dammit - the first page I got on google showed me a nice picture of a helicopter they were bunging a gearbox in.
Question - is changing gears in a helicopter a good idea? I'm pretty sure that hitting 'reverse' by accident might be a bad idea...</HTML>

<HTML>I wouldn't take issue with anything Jasper writes involving any sort of vehicle with engines - my researches indicate he is very knowledgable on such matters!</HTML>

<HTML>I'm discovering... I did originally think that naming a car after a helicopter only to have it plummet off an airship was a particularly good joke...
Talking of transport I had a great train journey on Tuesday - apparently somebody had committed suicide during rush hour, requiring every train to go extra slow and carry five times as many people. Not sure why this was deemed a mark of respect, but that's GWR for you. Anyway, I overheard a conversation about somebody also topping themselves at Reading last week, in front of a train coming in. 'What happened?' came the question. Before I could stop myself I said out loud 'Well, have you ever stood on a tube of toothpaste?'
Oops. I might have spent too long thinking about these kinds of jokes...</HTML>
