I had a mooch around a local town centre car park just now, fresh in the knowledge that there is a Coal thing. Fark me, there's a lot of of it about - all kinds of unidentifiable slitty-windowed modern shit with a big black arse, just like the roof of a Class 37. No wonder we all bloody cough.

That's a bit like saying I actually prefer wanking with 180 grid sandpaper, although I currently have a decent girl for shagging.

Well, I've not tried the sandpaper wanking so I can't possibly comment ;-)

But I've tried petrol & diesel Discoveries, and I'd sooner have a diesel engine for off-road use.

Oh, absolutely. I'd even sooner have a Kraz 258 for off-road use.

Those Icelandic monsters are seriously impressive.

Speaking of Soviet products, I'd love to have a go in a GAZ-71.
