others. These are the ones I can remember now

TOL
cymtrics mods
McSorleys
BEC
"The Book"
"The Tool"

SWMBO is used very often on here, par for the course if you are married and need to spend significant time in the garage playing cars I suppose

NTDWM Nothing To Do With Me
TOL The Other List. I believe this was a predecessor forum to Locostbuilders which crashed and burned 'cos people on it started
infighting
cymtrics mods Sorry, clueless on this one
McSorleys There a chappie called McSorley who drew up a set of plans based on 'the book' (explanation for this below) but
widened by 4" so that normal human beings could fit in it. I believe there is also a 4" longer version.
BEC Bike Engined Car
"The Book" This refers to the book written by Ron Champion entitled 'How To Build Your Own Sports Car For
£250'
"The Tool" refers toa Dremel multi-tool or it's derivatives by Black & Decker et al
Uncle Ron The aforementioned Ron Champion
Any one think of any more I know there are some

And of course the classic...
ROFLMAO - Rolling on floor laughing my ass off...
Many of these are used on other crazy forums eg IIRC NTDWM SWMBO etc
Oh and TOL was a yahoogroups email list NOT a forum...
and
"The Tool" used to refer to a wire cup brush angle grinder attachment used for stripping rust of things.
and
Cymtriks mods refers to strengthening mods to the book chassis to increase rigidity.

The Tardis
It's like a f*cking tardis, go in at five o'clock and shes calling "do you know what time it is". We've all been there
(regularly) time disappears.
That Bitch
You spend more time with that bitch than me. Please note this is not a complaint by the wife just a statement
