    Driving home. Did 200 miles today no problems. 3 miles from home a vauxhall astra loses it on a corner and was coming down the road sideways. Had to plant it into a hedge so he didnt hit me, thought it would be better than a car on car collision.

    Not too much damage, front wing pushed in (hardly noticable) and a new wing mirror needed. Luckily no scratches and no mechanical problems (yet). Still got to remove a half ton of turn from the suspension though.

    I was only doing 10 and him more like 30...its snowy people ffs drive properly.

    You'll be wanting this thread, then...

I'm sick of people who drive on a perfectly fine road at 10 miles per hour simply because the pavements are covered in snow. Feckers!
    Probably met tony coming in the opposite direction...

      So let me get this straight - you did 200 miles today, at 10 mph...

        No. I was doing 10 mph on this stretch of road as it was ungritted. I'd been doing normal speeds on the roads that were.

        Just this is a small road from the main road to where I live.

          I hit 50kph today. No, I wasn't rolling down the side of one of the volcanos here on Gran Canaria. I was on the straight, flat, with no wind. Was a little too hot maybe.

            Suppose you had one of your time machines on it and you moved X yards that took T seconds towards your objective in and then jumped back in time to T+1, how would that affect speed of your movement?

                  Where is the (infamous) posting where threaded mentions his time machine? I can't find it anywhere.

                    He went back in time and never wrote it.
