I never had a Toyotah Corollllah.

I had a Toyota Corona, coloured light blue.

I found this


Oh ye, that's it, a proper car, two is enough litres, no pretensions, a channel to attach as many roof bars as you like.
And its got bumper bars too.
And do you see the serious strip on the doors so you can fearlessly open them and park without putting your trust in humankind.

I covered up the rust the best I shoddily could and sold mine for dollars to build my house.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

it was the toyota corona that surpassed the ford model t to become the most built car in history

They're a great weird band. Never got the chance to see them live when I had the money to do so, but I've been told some crazy stories from their shows.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Here's a challenge for you music lovers. Most of my answers corresponded to his, but not not surprisingly, because he is a composer, I had a few more incorrect ones.

Argh!! I have this song stuck in my head!  :Gaah:
Must be that primal scream at the end of the song.  :notsure:

i'm sorry if i have posted this before. i can't stay away from it.



watching bernstein cue his orchestra is fscinating to me.

this was in 1968, i think.

stravinsky was my introduction to classical music, long ago. le sacre du printemps is imprinted inme.

The emotional Lenny is always entertaining to watch, but I prefer a more analytical approach to this piece. My current favourite version is by the Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen on DG, recorded in 2006, both for his absolute precision and the accurate sound of the recording. You should listen to the Salonen recording, which is very good to show off your sound system and to annoy the neighbours. Here Esa-Pekka Salonen discusses Le Sacre du Printemps.
