  1. IMO speeding doesn't cause crashes, its people not looking/not paying attention that causes crashes.

    I know im going to get stick for this but people drive at high speeds on tracks safely cause everyone is paying attention to their surroundings but all of a sudden on the road speeding causes crashes? I don't think so.

    "What was it? Lamborghini Murcielago

    How Fast? 150 MPH

    What happened? After owning the car for six days, this Egyptian driver decided to take it out to the desert and go for broke. Broke is what he got when a truck cut him off and he rolled the car, though he did make it out alive."

    In this crash it wasn't speed that causes the accident, it was the truck driver being careless.

     

    P.s Im not promoting speeding, im merely saying that it often doesn't cause the crash!

  2. Seen 04CUX on the M8 near Edinburgh today flashed and waved, dont know if they seen me as i was travelling in the opposite direction.

    And when i was going to pick my car up from Nobles in Edinburgh (new windscreen :rant:) i passed a silver zed with the plate that looked like STACY.

     

    Anyone on here? :thumbs:.

  3. There obviously not gonna throw him into a fight with a nobody, wouldnt exactly give him a test at Light Heavy where as Brandon will.

     

    I know Vera isn't a bad fighter but lets be honest, Who would you rather fight in your first fight back at that weight Brandon Vera or Lyoto Machida?.....Thought so :p:lol:.

  4. Light Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Brandon Vera

     

    "Couture has said he still wants to fight former Pride World Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko, but the UFC has been unable to reach an agreement with Fedor.

     

    Couture has said he'd also drop weight to fight UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto Machida if that's what the UFC wants"

     

    Seem likely? Is Brandon Vera a warm-up at Lightheavy? ;)

  5. I work as a robotic engineer.....no not like the dancing robot kind, but similar to those who used to paint "picasso" in the Citroen advert only the machines we sell are to foundries,

    When parts are cast using iron there is "flash" on the cast part and the machine we sell grinds that flash so you have your finished article which is then often shot blast.

    We often get car parts in e.g VW, Merc, Audi, Garrett, DAF.

     

    Thats what i do.

     

    Thanks for all the compliments :thumbs: top guys.

  6. Test Drove a;

     

    Lamborghini Gallardo Lp560-4 Pros- Lovely looking car, Gets lots constantly, sounds lovely, fast and handles well

    Cons- Very uncomfortable to drive, i drove it for 30mins and had to get out, legs and back were incredibly painful, offset pedals made you ofter hit the accelerator instead of the brake, steering wheel set ridiculously high.

     

    Audi R8 Pros- again stunning to look at, very fast, lovely interior

    Cons- Felt like i was being totally ripped off paying that for an audi, again quite uncomforable, fast but nowhere near the GTR or the Lambo, the servicing costs and parts, the salesman telling me i needed to spend £115,000 on the v10 instead of the poor v8( his words not mine).

     

    Thats what i weighed up when i looked at the 3 cars, and i now fully believe i made the correct descision :).

     

    Cheers. Paul

  7. how much do i want one of those!!!! looks great. I'm guessing you have a friend that works for an insurance company? :lol:

     

    Nope just fortunate we have had a fleet policy for a few years so it was a case of adding the GTR on as a personal car :D.

     

    Test drove a few cars before getting the GTR and the R35 was hands down the winner the others quite disappointing infact :teeth: its an amazing car to drive!.

    Thanks for all the compliments guys :thumbs:.

  10. Stunning Paul :thumbs:

     

    Hope I didn't hold you up too much when we were trying to catch the main bunch after the fuel / toilet stop on Sunday !?!? :surrender:

    Car looked awesome filling my rear window though ! :blush:

     

    No No not at all, you were fairly giving it the berries yourself :lol: thought we were moving along at a nice pace until we got stuck behind that plank in the a6 :rant:.

     

    Your car was lovely to look at as i was following it :thumbs: all in all a great day, good laugh, met nice people and had fun driving :teeth:.

  11. You can do a top speed run at Evlington Drag Strip - just outside York on a certain "run what ya brung" days... a damn site cheaper than £250 quid.

     

    Just thought i'de mention it. B)

     

    Thats all good and well but it would cost me more than £250 to get their and back plus have my runs plus the edinburgh one is for a charitable cause :)
