The rather unpopular Ford Capri replacment, the Probe was dubbed the Essex Porsche for being an appropriate status symbol at the Dagenham cruise circuit. This rather ugly motor shares it's chassis with, amongst others, Mazda vans.
Nowadays can include any crap wannabe sports car, but especially Fords, due to their now shut car plant at Dagenham, Essex.

Dudes! We got the driver himself in his Essex Porsche here, totally rev your engine and don't race him.

Like hiking, but in other people's buildings. Most urban adventures take place in derelict buildings, but also includes any location you can access without forcing entry.
Remember a joint and a camera to celebrate reaching the summit of your local really tall building.
Probably started by students living in halls in really big old universities who liked to explore all the tunnels and hatchs. Has even been featured on shows like Buffy and X-Files, firmly locating it in the "not cool, but fun" section of modern culture.

When urban exploring you should carry ID and consider if you have any suspicious articles on you, even a penknife can constitute a weapon if you manage to really make a dick out of yourself.

Classic 80s dance anthem by Josh Wink. Re-released and remixed so very many times, and it always sounds new.
Insane treble keeps lifting, lifting, lifting you straight through the roof. You really have to hear this on a nice stereo to get the totally massive brain melting euphoric sort of thing.

1. International Business Machines
2. Big Blue
The creators of the BIOS system most computers are based around. Unfortunately arrogant enough to publish their BIOS code in a context akin to saying, "Look, this is how it's done. If you do it in a similar way we'll know where you got it from."
Phoenix Technologies where the first to successfully cheat the challenge; one team of scientists simply worked directly on the IBM BIOS and made an exhaustive table of commands and responses, another team who had no knowledge of IBMs existing code were given the table to write a new BIOS.
This is how IBM lost their monopoly on PC design, how the first buyers of Phoenix BIOS, Compaq placed themselves on the market, and generally a nice example of David and Goliath.

The IBM BIOS standard becoming ripped off has both advanced compatibility and held back the market at once, but at least it's basically open-source.
