EuroBeard (T Minus One Day)

In the spirit of all things "European" we have assembled a montage of assorted bearded tributes to celebrate our trip and to add, in our own inimitable way, a sense of disrespect to our hosting countries. With this in mind, and with no apologies for any stereotyping whatsoever...let's go:

Denmark "porn" Beard Tribute



Austrian "Arthouse / cellar fetish king" Beard Tribute



German "Monty Python" Beard Tribute




Eastern Bloc "Repressed Communist" Beard Tribute



To paraphrase Nelson Mandela, "If we cannot learn to laugh at stereotypical representations, then the entire country will be transformed into battle zones where the forces of liberation are locked up in immortal conflict against those of reaction and evil". Mandela, N. 21/9/1953, misquote.

Fasten your seatbelts...

KOB & FU are proud to announce the continuation of The EuroBean School of International Driving. This year (and coming to a PC near you) the following vids will be available in high-def, colour-corrected loveliness:

• Maximum Speed test - Sat-nav verified
• 0-60 tests- Timed attempts
  
• 0-60-0 test- Timed attempts
  
• Convergence test- minimum time to dual carriageway from Toll

In addition to these classic EuroBean faves, the boys will be looking to up-the-anti this year with some new benchmarks for:

• Handling tests - High-speed cornering performance
• The 11's tests - Smoke/tyre marks generated from standing starts
• General abuse tests - Frowns, finger gestures, fist shaking and verbal outbursts generated from our European cousins

With the availability of 99 RON petrol, a general lack of respect for world landmarks and all communication to local law enforcement/randomisers being restricted to "s-o-r-r-y....w-e d-o-n-t u-n-d-e-r-s-t-a-n-d y-o-u!!!" EuroBean 08 has the potential to be as eventful as it's infamous predecessor.

SO...log on, sit back, and enjoy (except you Big Vin...we all know where that leads!!). :-)
