    tractor
    boss picks me up
    work truck

    and so forth... they never mention bikes... I havn't got my census form yet... but does it have a space for bikes?

    I think that ad is rude...
    ... what do you do all day long?

    They want to know the number of cars so they know if they have enough parking spaces and such.
    But we do have an potential impact...

    actually, thinking about this:

    public transport
    car
    push bike
    tractor
    boss picks me up
    work truck

    Aside from the first two, are any of those others on the list too..??
    And I believe in the ad, a tow truck was mentioned too.. that listed?

    I'm not sure, I havn't got the forms yet... I doubt they would be (like my boss picks me up)...
    I'm not a complete idiot... some pieces are missing

    Right. Well, I went and asked them. Ratty doesn't admit to being a motor anything, he thinks he's some sort of person with large circular feet. Petal and Phobe both glared (believe me, being glared at by a GT750 is pretty intimidating) and told me they are "Two-strokes, and stop being impertinent". And Der Uberfarter got all Teutonic and advised me that HE is to be referred to as Herrenraden. And sneered.

    So, that's no motorcycles. Total of 4 vehicles. Plus 2 cages. Which is what I shall put.
