talking bout little twats. annoying thing up here is everytime i pull up to traffic lights its grand prix time to the them. Shitty little 1ltr corsa/saxo/fiestas (circle the appropriate one) with the stuck on sport badges and matching alloys to go with, huge exhausts that are fcking pointless but to top it all of they've crammed 3 of they're mates in the back. HOW F*CKING FAST ARE YOU GONNA GO WITH A PISSY WEE ENGINE AND ALL THAT WEIGHT.
burberry wearing twats!
Ah yes, I'd forgotten about the fart in a bean can exhausts
I remember in Staines many years ago before the one way system & when there used to be a couple of descent pubs the grand prix every friday & saturday night

you should see all the chav attention i'm getting now my exhaust's split! I can't go anywhere without lowered 1.1 saxos revving their teeny engines at me trying to get a race...
Went to Halfords the other day and some spotty little tool (whose clothes probably cost more than his car) said to me "fat engine mate, respeck"! WTF's that all about? I half thought he was calling me a fat bastard and was about to lamp him until I realised he meant he liked the sound of my engine...
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Having started work in Filton instead of Newport I've become aware of the "magic TAXI/BUS hand of impending death". This hand come out of the window just before they do something dangerous, normally to cut you up or some other stunt they have in their repetoir. I'm sure if you had an accident after being faced with "magic TAXI/BUS hand of impending death" the insurance company conversation would go as follows:
"Hello how did the accident occur?"
"I was cut up by a TAXI and he hit me"
"Did he use the "magic TAXI/BUS hand of impending death?"
"Yes, yes he did"
"Ah Well there you go sir you got in his way its now your fault." LOL
Yeah, and you'd imagine the magic hand with the middle finger extended for all they give a toss
They are a pet hate of mine, I hate riding in London

This junction is a killer. The little sods run the reds coming from the bottom right. If you are trying to get onto the M11 from the left it is best to wait a while after the lighs go green
On this roundabout a had mad blonde in a 4x4 just 150mm (6") off my tailpipe going round here at 40! But that is a whole other story that has got nothing to do with driving
As to the silly buggers in the traffic light grand prix, there are a few HDi taxis round here and my V6 can be mistaken for one when stationary - the confusion is soon resolved when the try and cut me up.
Remember - it only takes a few inches of water to drown a 406 don't make the same mistake I made! The V6 Exec is no more.
How spot on are you guys as far as town goes Don't even get me started about the bloody wildlife Here in the sticks - the bloody suicidal Pheasants and Deer don'y half make a mess of your motor....

I saw Top Gear, Lewis did a great lap and did you notice his braking was *very* hard, so he braked only at the last minute, and for the least amount of time possible. I reckon some people loose 2 seconds wheelspinning off the line.

I meant his braking seemed different to others, alot more severe. Most people have a fear that they will crash or loose control but F1 drivers seem to be born without this sense
