Actually, we could call it 'The Steel Lynx Birthday Thread'! Okay, so yeah it does grind my gears a bit to see these threads every single day BUT it is a really nice sentiment and it's a good idea to make people feel part of the community, so I reckon we just keep them all together then every one's a winner

Can we get one please? It's obvious that the trend for wishing every person and their dog a happy birthday is going to continue, so I reckon it would be easier on all (as well as look tidier on the forum) if we had one single official Sticky birthday thread in OTD where we can all share in the birthday love Sound like a good idea?

I want the Germans to win because I really like their team and the way they go about things, but then I want Argentina to win so that Messi has a WC to his name. Torn.

I'd clay it.

Well that's guaranteed a 0-0 now, thanks!

Good to know they are improving it, I've been keeping my eye on these too as they look very promising.

But look how much like a race car it looks with massive camber and super low to the ground oh no wait it doesn't at all

Just put the legal ones on and leave them on.

With TCS off, yes? His many miles has the car done?

I still don't get it. It just looks stupid.

Never stops me, I usually sit on 80 on the speedo which is maybe 75? Never going to get stopped doing a steady speed like that But have you properly overtaken one, not just changed lanes?

I don't understand how he had been so impressive over the last couple of years, but utterly useless in Brazil. Different role and different team, granted, but surely he's not actually this awful?

And you Hugh

You set the system to recirc, then fire it up in the cab and exit post haste.

Share the love, folks.

Have to say though, that's the first time I've ever been in a position to properly overtake a police car (as opposed to changing lane on a DC or MW) and I always wondered if I'd have the balls to do it!

Ah, the speedo said 63 but I reckon that was 61 absolute tops in the real world. Safe as houses! It's why I cruise at 75 on the motorways. Quick enough yo overtake all those sitting bang on 70, but never going to get stopped.

Well, I noticed Dave's posting spree too, but I found it funny more than anything.

I think it's nice that people make the effort to say hello. I could probably do so some more, if I'm honest.

Nah, he was good as gold, like I say gave me space and everything. What irritated me was that no other driver was prepared to overtake him, despite them overtaking other vehicles and then stopping once they saw the blue lights on top.

Who?

I know, awful isn't it? I'm a proper cad.

Mine's 5.1 too, with a digital TV tuner

Yup, pretty much left an entire carriageway gawping at my driving. They were speechless at the manoeuvre I pulled off, in full view of everyone. What did I do? Well, it was like this: I DARED TO OVERTAKE A COPPER!!! I know, shocking. He was doing 54 in a 60, so I overtook the car behind him then accelerated up to an incredible 63 and cruised past. Copper moved over to give me the room, TED was minimal, everyone was happy. Well, apart from the queue of drivers behind who wouldn't dare to overtake a batternburg estate. Why are people so terrified of performing perfectly safe and legal manoeuvres? Bugs the hell out of me.

Yeah yeah
