Car Porn Thursday - Mascot

Rally drivers are not the most sophisticated of cultural æsthetes. When it comes to a lucky mascot, what do they choose?

Yup … Special Patrol Group: the homicidal hamster from The Young Ones. Ah, the eighties … what the hell was that all about?

I'm not a car freak but I'm okay with the hamster.

I've always thought I'd have made a good rally driver. There's something I like about the problem-solving as one drives through the countryside that intrigues me.

Would the hamster have been inside, powering the engine?

Homicidal Hamster (sounds like a good name for a garage band.) How many does it take to run the engine?

Hamsters are certainly cheaper to run, Petrea.

Hee hee, Speedway. A hamster-wheel-powered car would be nicely eco-friendly.

Ms.M I think it would take quite a few generations of hamsters to get even my tiny little car going.
