466386 2006-07-04 04:57:00 [QUOTE=Graham L] I wonder how we could explain "running boards"? [QUOTE]

Noun

S: (wordnet.princeton.edu) (n) (http://<font%20color=)running board (a narrow footboard serving as a step beneath the doors of some old cars)



....Also much beloved by gangsters who tommy-gunned each other from running boards, and FBI agents..."The agents commandeered five cars. Along the way, two of the vehicles became disabled on the severe winter pocked roads. Eight agents were forced to ride on the running boards of the three remaining automobiles..."

Running boards can be fitted to the Chrysler PT Cruiser to make it look even more authentic, Tommy guns are extra.

I wonder if there's a song about running boards?
Now there's a challenge...

Funny you should say that Laura, I was listening earlier on, as is my wont, to Radio Dismuke who was playing the almost inaudible "Whispering" Jack Smith singing about his girl and cars, and running boards were mentioned. I didn't take in the name of the tune, (thank god says Cicero). But maybe I'll be able to find out!

466390 2006-07-04 08:53:00 Never mind, I'm just getting carried away in 1920s innuendos and mischief, as Cicero said, maybe it was something I read.
Sorry about the earlier message:"I know a girl who owns a Ford GT and she doesn't say anything about rumble seats except the seat is comfortable enough to laid down the pedal. This is a new century not 19th or whatever." I didn't get her message clearly underless I've really read it.
What's the point of having rumble seats in exotics? If they have rumbles seat in it, it wouldn't look like an exotic right?

Well, I suppose it must have been rather a severe culture shock for you to be suddenly plunged into 1920s music without very much preparation, so you will be excused this time.

At this moment they're playing some Al Bowlly, he's better than Ukulele Ike.

466394 2006-07-04 09:34:00 Culture Shock? I like the modern music pop,rock(from Avirl Lavigne), hip pop, and rap. Classic? Don't really like it. MTLance (6768)
