    Hey Bad Roo.

    I'll smoke you with this someday when I can afford one.

    RS200s are so sweet. One of the few Group B cars that still looks good. Had the chance to drive one at Goodwood a few years back and it was just magical. Wish I could afford one.

    Talking of things financial (and car related), I'm now £50 poorer as a result of being nailed by a bus lane scamera. Pulled over to post a letter, got back in the car and some fugger wouldn't let me rejoin the queue. Instead of sitting there, the red mist descended and I just hammered it down the bus lane, catching the changing traffic lights perfectly. So busted.

    City centre 'congestion charge' has just gone up to £8 ($14USD) per day for a private vehicle. That might be why. The logic is dumbfounding. Price us out of our cars so we have to use public transport and what was in the news last week? Congestion charging for trains, doubling prices at peak hours. Simply unbelievable.

    heh... ask tony for a THIRD WAY
    have you ever read something from Jonathan Coe? After reading the house of sleep a few months ago I simply can't stop reading his stuff. His last (the closed circle) has a lot to say about tony's third way

    Maybe it's where I live, but I can probably count on one hand the number of people who own manual's anymore. I'm not even talking about SUVs and Camry's. It's a sad state when somebody can't hop in your car and drive it around the block.

    heh.

    The whole sequence looks like it should be on some news channel with the newscaster stating "And look at the cheeky move the bastard pulls as he runs over the 92 year grandmum from Portsmouth in the trolley lane."

    I will always own a manual transmission car. I like to drive, not merely convey.

    So you like a woman that can drive a stick? Hehe.

    I am begging Brett to let me drive his motorcycle. After I begged him not to get one.

    He took the whole thing apart the last couple of days and I thought it would surely never run again. But I guess he's got mad mechanic skillz because it started last night. Is it ok when flames come out the exhaust?
