sometimes you can post a decent thread, but then you usually ruin it with the help of others. This time however you've kipped the thought provoking bit and skipped straight to the posting crap bit.

People will pay to see something unusual. Now where i'm from its pretty unusual to see vehicles squashing other vehicles. Maybe its because i live in a swamp but then and again maybe its because it is peculiar to see vehicles crushing other vehicles. There nothing bizare about people paying to see wierd stuff. Been going on for yonks.
