Popemobile Top speed
« on: 18 September 2010, 19:32:34 »
Non religous thread, just a comment on claimed performance.

Several times I have heard on TV that the current popemobile can do 160mph.

I believe it weighs 5 tons with all its armour. It must be some powerful engine to propel it at half that speed with its lack of aerodynamics. Maybe it was tested down a very steep hill ;D ;D ;D ;D

It's a cardinal rule to have a top speed of 160. ;)

Have you not heard the 'revelations'? The Pope's 'altar' ego is a racing car driver! 'Hymn' and his co-driver! I can 'testament' to that! He regularly goes to the 'aisle' of Man! It's how he earns his 'daily bread'! It's not 'convent' ional for a Pope though, but it runs in the family, his 'Father and the Son' do aswell! It's just 'habit' now! Even his 'Sister' wants to get in on the 'Act'!
