The G Man

Hmmmm!, small? They do some rather tasty V10's and 12's, not my taste mind but their diesels go as fast as a F1 for a lot longer, too quiet though. Don't forget Peugot, brilliant to see the crowd react when they win. They have got a good record in the Le Mans series, real racing, real overtaking and proper driving with no politics and as long as you do as the French tell you, you can do whatever else you want. What I would like to see is a club event to Le Mans, 30/40 Zeds haring through France In the P1 class, Aston Martin are doing some great things. Even the P2 and P3 races are great to watch, three races all going on at the one time . These drivers do the equivelant of 4 F1 races EACH in a relatively short time. Unless you are "connected" you won't get near the pit lane in F1 but at Le Mans it's open to ALL on the day before the race and you can access the garage, mechanics and drivers. Great social occassion and one for REAL petrol heads.

Was that 1066 Death to The Normans Hope England qualify for every world cup actually, gives me someone to support

Really!!, who did we swap you for Bet it's an interesting story Ach, the English are ok, it's the media that let you down, and I don't mean Panorama, I mean Jon Motson

Are you Russian? Or have I read that wrong

Donated, good luck and I'm sure your dad is proud of you

Mucho ranto, calm down boys/girls , the english bid (yes english not british, (few posts back making reference to me being Scottish and hims being British ) obviously didn't have thick enough envelopes Now it's not a real game is it? Mone the Qataries (sp?) That'll be hilarious Still, we have the Royal wedding and the olympics to look forward to, eh?

Zeebruge - Cologne - Montreaux - St Bernandino Pass - Lake Como - Stelvio, I may have made the spelling up on some of the names but it's what a GT car is made for Lake Como is stunning, we stayed in Mennagio, get the ferry from there to Verrena, have some wine, eat some lovely food, take in the stunning vista, go back to hotel and bonk the mrs Sorry, I mean make "love" George Clooney is a knob though, kept asking to join our table at dinner, fook of George!!

Terry Butcher A "Dons" fan interviewed on telly actually wanted Walter Smith

Where it all went wrong was to send a future King, a Conservative priminister (royalist to the core) and a minor playboy! Fifa is run by a Republican, Russia also had a revolution and have a dictator and they sent a proper playboy, Abramovich. I laughed my knob off, especially at the "assembled" crowd of "fans" in London Oh by the way, Scotland were world champions after beating, sorry, humiliating, Ramsays boys in '67, que mucho ranto from Engurland Poofs game

You've been off work too long and getting emotional Hope the snow goes away for ya

He looks right at home there Ellie, sadly for Nismo, has a betrothed undenuted Patterdale waiting for her

C'moan The Accies

Yup, even my insurance company were on the ball, cover note arrived next day after asking for it to allow the registration, this is what usually holds things up

Not all dealers are a nightmare, my plate was switched from my old car to my new one and the original on my old car reinstated, all sorted out by the dealer with no fuss or drama. How long did it take though? My family all have 'private regs' and when they have changed cars they've been quoted 14 days for changing plates hence delaying the car! I normally do it for them at the DVLA office and it takes 10 mins although sometimes it can be 7 days but at least you can have your new car! Took my docs in a week before, all ready on 1st Sep pick up, all cool. Did it through the Glasgow office of the DVLA when I originally got the plate and yes it took 10/15 mins, but I'm lucky that I have one of their offices relatively close, some don't. Dealer was hassle free, some aren't.

Wisny me

South and North Lanarkshire council have failed again to put any of the millions of tons of salt on any of their roads, useless, feckless and utterly abysmal. Haven't seen a gritter all day, and they aren't clearing the motorways either, never mind the MAIN routes through towns. Fail, fail, fail! If no one can get to work you cretinous arseholes, then we can't pay your wages Get round the feckin schemes, bunch of throbbers, same year on year Absolute disgrace

my dog just went mental at that

Ellie would still have a go, typical Terrrier, thinks she's the size of a house

He's gonna be HUGE My Patterdale could do him though

Not all dealers are a nightmare, my plate was switched from my old car to my new one and the original on my old car reinstated, all sorted out by the dealer with no fuss or drama. Try Demon Plates, you will have to send off or scan and email your licence and/or passport (proof of id) and your V5 (proof of ownership), this is the legislative demand and not the online plate makers.

Yup, looking at the thread with the Stillen mods and dyno results is interesting. Ideally I'll have something done by then but I don't think that it will be imperative to give him a good thrashing Has no one had the electronic limiter removed then? Or has Nissan made this an expensive and prohibitive process? The links above to the Merkin site is all 350 related but still makes interesting, although complicated reading, for me anyway

Vicky, no probs Lot's of practice is good Oh and the M90 Neil, would that be Hamilton Rd duel carriagway? What I need though is facts, cold hard facts to bust his ass and put his gas at a peep

Mibees Done Knockers a few times in my Rex Got a "Help for Heroes" track day at RAF Valley in Wales next year and the 370 is up against the RS, both on the circuit and the main runway, fastest speed on the main runway to be ajudicated by the RAF Police with their radar guns . There may be a thread going up for this, depends on the take up and, no I can't get you invites to Wills and Kate's wedding . I don't think it'll be a problem on either the circuit or the "drag race" to beat it as I know the RS drivers capability and mine but I don't know at the mo whether we'll run out of runway before I hit 155 and can safely brake, or he can hit his reputed 163, doubt any of us will get very close. What I do know is, he's doin' my fechin head in with his shopping trolley stats

Ok we know that the 370 is electronically limited to 155mph, apparantly, not having tested this capability. But does anyone know of the true top speed and if so, can you back it up with any solid, attributable evidence? Having a bit of a top trumps discussion with a Focus RS300 owner, which has an apparant top speed is 163, and is not limited, that's it!

You'll still watch it though Don't think it's a Beeb site
