        I'd drive the DB9 to work for sure. Have never experienced this permie jealousy that seems so prevalent amongst folks on here. My beach villa in the Algarve gets more of a reaction than my wheels.

            Yeah into a hedge if you're lucky. A barbed wire fence if you're not.

            I once did the CBT in my youth but all the stories from the group of bikers I knew/know put me right off.

            Worst story was about a biker who flew round a blind country bend (as you do) to be confronted with some twat in a car who thought it a good place to do a 3 point turn. The biker was decapitated by the roof, and his torso went through the driver's window. No idea if the driver was seriously injured/killed by the torso but I hope so.
            Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

              Could have been worse...

              The Police might have done his torso for breaking and entering
              and his 'ead for leaving the scene of an accident

                I remember a 1970s interview with a Lamborghini owner. Although very proud of his car, he said he always took enough money with him to get a taxi to his destination.

                  I'm sure you're right but IMO they still look way cooler than any modern car you can buy today.

                  It takes a certain amount of faith and devotion to own an Italian classic. I couldn't, hats off to those that do!

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    Yeah, he also nearly won a part in the 'reimagining' of The Headless Horseman, but was beaten by Nicolas 'My Eyes' Cage who is cleaning up in the piss poor films sector.
