    This accessory protects the lid of your valuable Toughbook from scratches, beautifully, and does so in a variety of colors!

The cool looking matching grip protector keeps your fingers toasty warm in the winter and soaks up sweat in the summer like a drag queen soaks up compliments from a drunken sailor!

    Does the antenna have a little fuzzy muff around it. Oh, oh what a find. It reminds me of those shaggy toilet seat covers.
    Count me out for now. :nah:

    "With the help of some old hippies in Denmark I was able to find what could be the last surviving stash!"

    Can you smoke it as well?

    After 3 months in the desert, $99.95 sounds cheap for any type of shag.

    I read a little and have a reasonable vocabulary. No offence intended to you.....the bottom line is I didn't know any other definition for the word.

    "Contrary to popular believe, the word muff is not associated with hair at all. Instead, the word "muff" is an inoffensive, slang word for a female body part. Muffs can range from dainty and tight to floppy and roast beef colored. Some muffs smell fishy or sweaty, and others smell like skin or roses. Some muffs are hairy, others are bare, and some have razor burn or ingrown hairs. Females (and transexuals) of all ages have muffs. There are baby muffs and grandma muffs. Most muffs have a week of bleeding, unless the owner is on some sort of contraceptive (see: Depovera, Seasonal). It is also the root word for Muffdiver, Muffed, and Muffdoctor.
    Jan decided to go on birth control because the muffdoctor said that it would prevent pregnancy, cramping, and that weird smell coming from her muff. "

    Slang by its nature perverts the meaning of many common words. There are many words and phrases in common usage that have some twisted meaning to others.

    Since Gork! has told us that he used the word in its most correct usage what's the problem? There will always be those among us who seek to find ways to be offended and those that know the suggested double meaning of this word are the least likely to be offended among them!

    I choose not to worry about them or to play their game.


    Rick, I may have spoken harshly earlier, my apologies! Therefore give me a call and I will make you a special deal so that all future UltimateToughbooks.com machines can be completely visually distinctive from the pretenders!

    Now, who's ordering? :D

    I frequently muff* my mods :p


    Language is a wonderful thing - everyone should own a dictionary and a thesaurus


    * for the avoidance of doubt Muff (verb transitive) = to perform or handle clumsily; bungle

    I don't think he's referring to the Citroën DS that Patrick Jane drives:

    OH MY LORD! It's a Bouncing Betty and boy has it seen better days....that one looks like it was from the WWII years. I almost bought one when I was stationed in Germany. Having a shifter on the dash and making it go both in and out and right and left is quite the challenge. It may only be a two cylinder, but that little mother will go on forever.

    Naaahhh... I had a 60-something DS when I was young. It has spent entirely too long in the salt belt; the tin termites had a well-established foothold. But, it always started when it was wet; something I couldn't claim of my '78 Spitfire 1500 (at least, not until I retrofitted it with a German-block 2600 V6 and 5-speed out of a Ford Mustang II). I recall one time getting stranded with a flat and a flat spare; by putting my girlfriend in the seat behind me and setting the suspension to maximum, I was actually able to drive it home on 3 wheels.

    I would love to have one again; but I fear I have entirely too many projects going already...

    It was fun watching someone with DS change a flat tire without the aid of a jack. Just pump up the suspension and go to it.

    Little known fact: the Ford Cologne 2.6L V6 engine was derived from the Ford Taunus V4 engine.

    The V4's were sized from 1.2L to 1.7L, while the V6 was sized from 1.8L to 4.0L.

    While the V6 was Ford only, the V4 was used in Saab vehicles, as well as an Industrial Engine (running, among other things, oil well pumps).

    The 1962 "Mustang I" Concept Car [​IMG] had the 1.5L 60° V4 engine mounted amidship.

    Back in the day, there was a stunt on Allan Funt's Candid Camera where they removed one of the wheel assemblies off a Citroën (sorry: don't know the model, but probably a DS), "jacked" the suspension, then had a "damsel in distress" drive it into a service station (remember those? :confused: ) to get the reaction of the attendant on "candid camera." :eek:

    Ah, yes; those were the days .... :)

    Actually TC, I believe the car you're showing a photo of was a concept car for the successor to the AC Cobra, which never made production due to a falling out between Carroll Shelby and Ford... note the strong design influences of the Ford GT40...

    Although... if I was going to get into a vintage Ford SuperCar (Like, if I had Jay Leno's money and didn't already HAVE a turbine-powered handbuilt SuperCar) I'd be hounding the current owner of the GT90 :

    Ford GT90 Concept - Supercars.net

    Can you believe that car is FIFTEEN YEARS OLD?

    The vehicle pictured in my post is indeed the Mustang I envisioned by Ford Designer Gene Bordinat of Ford's `Fairlane Group' back in 1962.

    It never made it past the concept and car show stage, though. :(
