Personally I would have held off until April the 1st though.1

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

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

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!

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...

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:

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

You can't beat fishtailing on the motorway for clearing up transient constipation.

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.

Welcome to CUK!

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...

You only discover how fast 60mph is when you're suddenly going sideways off the road into the trees.

Then it's a case of waiting for it to stop.

Road to Hell - Chris Rea

I believe that song was born from an episode when he and some mates were in a Ferrari stuck in a lengthy traffic jam.

And running out of ciggies.

Looking on the bright side, I survived.

Some time later, along the same piece of road, a couple of unfortunates went off, hit a much bigger tree & didn't.

Car burned.

With them inside.

Crispy.

Yes. Happened to me 6th Feb 1994. It was doing 40 and lost a skittish car on black ice and spun into trees. Every panel damaged, passenger door by gearstick and parts of engine in passenger footwell. 10 days before I had my 1st marriage. Alas the BFH was not in the car that day.

You forgot the thigh high leather boots.

It's the heels, man, oh the heels!
