Happy Thanksgiving to all our American 'Triumph Friends'. Hope
you have a great holiday. Here is some automotive humour to
brighten up your day...apologies to all those who have seen it
before or those who don't think we should talk about such things
here or those who may otherwise be humour-impaired.

THE TOP 14 WAYS THINGS WOULD BE DIFFERENT IF MICROSOFT BUILT
CARS

1       A particular model year of car wouldn't be available until
after that year, instead of before.
2       Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to
buy a new car.
3       Occasionally your car would just die for no reason and you'd
have to restart it. For some strange reason, you would just
accept this.
4       You could only have one person at a time in your car, unless
you bought a car '95 or a car NT, but then you'd have to buy
more seats.
5       You would be constantly pressured to upgrade your car...Wait a
sec, it's that way now!
6       Sun 'Motorsystems' would make a car that was solar powered,
twice as reliable, 5 times as fast, but only ran on 5% of the
roads.
7       The oil, alternator, gas, engine warning lights would be
replaced with a single 'General Car Fault' warning light.
8       People would get excited about the 'new' features in Microsoft
cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in
other brands for years.
9       We would still be waiting on the '6000 sux 58' model to come
out.
10      We'd all have to switch to Microsoft Gas TM
11      Lee Iacocca would be hired-on as Bill G.'s chauffeur.
12      The US government would be getting subsidies from an auto
maker, instead of giving them.
13      New seats will force everyone to have the same size ass.
14      Ford, General Motors and Chrysler would all be complaining
because Microsoft was putting a radio in all its models.

and now, for those with too much time on their hands, the top xx
ways things would be different if Microsoft built our beloved
Triumph cars...?

Cheers
