  1. what i said about engine limiting if you read it all i also said there are exceptions to the rule, what you have to remember is that the majority of the under 24 age group on the road are still the highest risk bracket. especially if your male. proof in point, why else is insurance astronomically high for under 24's: why is it insurance gets cheaper the more experience you have, and also the less crashes you have? why is it women get cheaper car insurance compared to a male equal? why is it that most road campaigns are aimed at the under 24's most of the people in the commercials are all male and in there 20's? like it or not under 24's are high risk drivers, you may not be, and some of your friends may not be, but the majority of your peers are. i'm not saying older people all driver better, but the experience tends to count for more. if you'd lie another example i can post the nice picture up of the side of my wifes car. on sunday driving home on the A1M from a wedding. we were traveling in the outside lane overtaking 2 cars just as we were on the rear quarter of the first car in the overtaking maneuver he decided to pull out and over take as well. we travelled 3 abreast on a dual carriage way. my wife had to off road the vehicle and run about an inch from the barrier as said muppet proceeded to scrape down the side of my wifes 1 month old brand new car. we had pulled in to the outside lane a good distance back and were visible for about 1/4 mile before the maneuver. not only that but my wifes car is a huge lump. you couldn't miss it if you were blind. we are now in the process of sorting out the insurance. the driver was... male...and ... under 24. he didn't check his mirrors and pulled out as he indicated, which at that point was too late. yes it could have been a woman, or an older person, but it wasn't, it took alot of effort on my behalf not to pound his head into the curb, but i kept it polite, collected the details and rang the insurers. if it wasn't for my wifes quick reaction and the fact that she didn't panic, it could have been a whole lot worse.
  2. tres chic who ever made those must be a dog looks very nice, am pleased with how well they came out
  3. i don't; mine is only a baby machine, but i have one at work that that will do about half the width of that window. but not allowed to use work equipment to profit. hence why i bought my own baby one.
  4. big ones could always go in house windows as well, so people know the house is under zed club protection
  5. looks very tidy mate
  6. lane discipline is shocking in the UK as is driving standards. they have made the test harder than when i sat it, but only really focussing on round town driving. i passed 2nd time, but i here of some people taking 7 or 8 attempts i think there should be limits to the amount of times you can take it. Biscuits road laws: - skid pan training should be compulsory as should night driving and motor way driving. - learner drivers should complete a minimum of 50 hours training before sitting the test and should be over a minimum time of 12 months (experience counts for a lot and passing in a short time i don't think leads to a good driver) - 5 attempts maximum for your driving test (if you can;t pass it in that many times you were never destined to drive and should be resigned to getting the bus) - once passed not only are you on a 2 year probation but your limited to up to a 1.1 litre car. - after 2 years your allowed to progress to up to a 1.4 litre car - after 2 years of 1.4's your allowed up to 2 litre and after that you can drive what you like (they do it with motorbikes why not cars) ( that takes most 17's up to there 24th birthday and by then they should have progressed nicely with cars and have enough experience not to kill themselves) (highest % of crashes are in the under 24's and usually to do with in experience) (sorry to all those under 24's this is general consensus and doesn't account for the few under 24's who can drive. maybe we could add a special dispensation clause that if you complete a certain amount of extra courses you can progress earlier.) - people should be re tested every 10 years (maybe not as major as the initial, but to recap and remind of driving laws, and any changes that might have happened over that 10 years) Thats all i can think of for now; feel free to add to it
  7. some one else was interested so waiting for them to get back to me. as for worth a punt, your very right it was worth a punt. but no cost a small fortune for that gear knob, but must say it was one of the best knobs i've ever had. no puns intended
