Are you kidding,
The Laif-Man has not invited you to his QUARTER mile track @ his Laif-Man
Hacienda/track, with dinner in the world famous 5 star restaurant
" Laif-Man Puck " , his track and Tiger testing facility is incredible, his
dyno room and wind tunnel is state of the art.
In his R&D department: new high flow radiators are currently tested, rivet
co-efficiency is determined and certainly the effect on the human body as a
result of the 5 G forces that the acceleration of his MK1, will have on you.
Your limit is 1 hour on the track, and his personalized (not yet TAC'd)
stretched 12 passenger fleet of Tiger MK2 Limo's will whisk you to and from
the Airport, you will certainly enjoy your weekend at this get-a-way.
Lord Laif-Man will tend to your every whim, and his personal assistant
Monica L. will see to any other requests you may have.
Note: the time shares are selling fast, so sign up now, or call
1-999-ZLAIFMAN, all credit cards accepted, if you do not have one, Laif-Man
International Bank of Switzerland, will be more than happy to assist you in
obtaining one.

Have a SUPER holiday for all....

See Ya'              Jan...
