"Windowlickers" are.....................................

right, need to be careful here

People who are a little simple and are always looking out the windows of cars/ Buses that take them places............Hence "Window Licking"

here is an example

"westy you windowlicker"

im not slow..

just if I never understand what something is, Im usually the first to admit, and openly ask it on here, viewed by millions, hence, makes me look abit slower than your average

bet there are a few more that didnt know what it meant

I always thought it was a concourse thing fook knows where i got that idea from

anyways, im off to go and lick some windows

Neil, no it's not the 944 Turbo........much more recent model than that....

I guess that Mike R is gone off-line for the weekend.........So if anybody else can give the answers to both questions - just for fun, no prizes lol

My favourite "standard" Porsche . They still fetch £145k+ second hand even now . There were only a few genuine right hand drive cars produced, so finding one is quite tricky.

The small matter of huge power, light weight and rear wheel drive gave them the nickname "Widowmaker".
