    Too true brother, or fishtailing the TVR Tuscan joining the M25 hard accelerating from the slip road at those speeds - only the influence of divine intervention taking over my hands to counteract the fishtailing saved the day. It was like Neo watching himself one arm fight Agent Smith in the first Matrix.

    I literally shat myself. As did the other drivers around me I imagine...
    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

          Did much the same thing in my Dutton Phaeces when some daft clown didn't see me & pulled out to overtake sommat whilst I was overtaking him/her/it.

          All it took was a blip on the throttle.
          That 3 Series Beemer was good at going sideways on wet cobbles.

          Only a slight throttle blip required.

          Not fun in heavy traffic.

            I had a jeep cherokee - in two wheel drive it was as scary as buggery in the rain - solid as a rock in 4x4 but thirstier than a CUK forum member

              I had a 3 series (quite) a few years ago and you made very sure you were out of second gear asap/pretty damn quick!

              Parked its arse end on a roundabout outside the "Metrocentre" in Gateshead. That was interesting...

                Hello
                They are on best behaviour!

                Though I suspect the Gladiators question was a veiled reference to Crassus's snail quote from Spartacus so Trees to 'Wood' was much faster. If someone asks what is in your robe - run! In jokes heh?

                Rain falling from the sky? We are that posh down south ours comes up through the road.


                Keep up the good work, lets see ISP's charge for what they provide not what they might be able to if you actually live in the exchange. Personally I would have held off until April the 1st though.1
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  Yep. getting out of second gear was a good idea. Not always easy in city traffic though.

                  I swore I'd never have another Beemer until they fixed that back axle arrangement, and other more interesting stuff arrived while I was waiting.

                  See how the full width of the tyres isn't in contact with the road:

                    Well it certainly wouldn't hurt if the entire Board would rush to send an email - I even had the site tidied at the prospect of visitors!

                      WHS. It might have got more exposure from the annual roundup of April Fool stories.
