Wouldn't you just end up knackering your clutch and need some new tyres doing it in your own car?

I know it doesn't explicitly say it but the ad suggests you use the cars provided for you.

Interesting question

Over 6000 posts and finally you're making sense

lol!

 

An accident is always an accident. An accident is when something you didn't mean to happen happens. The official definition from google is:

 

an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss

 

So all crashes are accidents: Outside of the possibility of a deliberate crash, etc.

 

So whilst I take your point, I disagree due to the way I'd define the term 'accident' in the first place All crashes are accidents. You need to consider the difference between "doing something on purpose" and "an accident". If I drive like a tit and smack a tree; IT's still an accident. I unintentially smacked a tree. Similarly if I slip and fall over whilst walking to the shops, I didn't *HAVE* to walk to the shops. I could have stayed in a white padded cell and rocked back and forth. But the slipping is still an accident. I didn't choose to hurt myself, even though I took on the risk of the possiblity of hurting myself due to going to the shops.

 

And if I was just staying in that white padded cell, rocking; I could have picked up whiplash. That'd be an accident too. I didn't need to rock back and forth but I still didn't want whiplash!

 

Consider the english Indy car driver who unfortunately died 2 weeks ago. He was partaking in motor racing. It doesn't mean that what happened to him wasn't accidental ?!?!?

 

So I think this is utter rubbish really

 

Not that I'm putting this on you at all; but: It's this kind of ridiculous argument, imho, that leads to heath and safety lobbyists slowly but surely destroying all inclination of 'fun' left in our society due to the desire for mitigation of risk and for being able to blame someone for everything. Please won't someone think of the children (etc..). Your very definition seems to be "an accident is only an accident if there's nobody to blame". I'd flip this around and say, that insurance companies, lawyers etc: Want to define everything with a root cause, and get away from the possibility that anything can just be unfortunate; Because then the party responsible for that root cause can be sued.

 

This.

Anything else is just an excuse for lawyers to make money.

Hilariously, this work of art is supposed to represent a “Corn fieldâ€

Fantastic, for a town which is synonymous with the steel and petro-chemical industry.

Still it will give the scally’s some scrap metal to sell on the black market for a bit of extra pocket money – no seriously they will….

I'm already looking into hiring a flatbed.

Why should the scallies get first bash?

I reckon I'd be doing everyone a favour.

Oh for the love of god can we please wait till the new year when I'm not saving every pound an penny?! I want a bulge so bad!

Seconded.

Although I would probably word it slightly differently

That's one hell of a sizes aerial you've got there

Or near enough

I think the main thing to take away from these disasters is never buy a car that StuRS has owned

Pulled in behind you at Tottenham Corner and stayed behind you all the way to the A217 and down the mad mile.

Think we gave the guy in the vxr a bit of a shock when we pulled away at the lights

Absolutely, especially when spending the best part of £600.

I do love the difference in service during tyre changes with the Zed from my previous cars though. Used to be I'd get one middle aged bloke with a rolly hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Now it's like an F1 pit crew, I actually had 5 of them round the car last time, one for each wheel and another 'supervising' (ie chatting to me).

My driver side window drops slightly at 85+ which increases the wind noise noticeably.

There was talk of a successful fix for that on here some time ago but seeing as it doesn't bother me that much I didn't see the need to take my door apart.

That and the fact that I'm about as useful with a toolkit as Stephen Hawkins

Driving up Highfield Road at 430 this afternoon with a blond girl driving.

they just deserve to die

I know!

Did you see the seatbelt light flashing in the Camry?

How irresponsible are they to drive without their belts on?

I like them, although it does look like they ran out of time or got bored designing the rear arches.

Nah! Kindle is a far superior reader to the iPad, you made the right choice.

You'll need to convert your books to a compatible format, I find mobi to be perfectly good and calibre is a very easy to use tool for it.

Have been reading loads more since I got mine.

Bah!

When I saw the title I was hoping you had a satnav unit with the voice of the Cookie Monster

It will be as if it never happened:

Actually I'm not sure, it was an assumption based on the colour and the wheels were spinning too fast to identify it by them.

Heading towards the A217, not seen you about before.

I waved, you didn't

MX-5!

What do you mean I'm not on Pistonheads?

It's the Moth Effect, similar to the Butterfly Effect but more localised.

Results in hurricanes on your passenger seat.

If they did nick it they were very polite, waved back and everything

Who was that then?

Don't see many Sunsets about, was it you Southernspeed?
