Is that all!! I regularly top 50+ mph on my carbon Giant TCR. 63 was the max I've ever done. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] I was fully stretched out using my tri-bars. It is the buzz!!! The hill runs down into Lilleybrook part of Cheltenham. Speed limit is 50!! LOL!! [GRIN][/GRIN]

It's not that long. It's a pot luck draw. We got on the show a few years ago. It was the one with the Toyota Hilux getting blown up on top of the block of flats. I applied to Applausestore and got a phone call a few days later. 'Show up next week'. To balance the male-female ratio they ask you to bring along your wife/girlfriend/mum/sister/aunty/transvestite. Topgear is an 4rsebandits freezone. Filming began at 2pm and ended at 7 pm. Funniest 5 hours. They have to film that long just to get any broadcastable footage. Haven't had any luck since.

It's the rubber seal. It expands and pre-loads the filter case. Not on a Supe but I had break up the filter case by chain drilling and cold chiselling! Major problem was all the swarf floating about.

It's all an act and it's certainly got some of you lot going. A great PR exercise that he makes a living from. No doubt all the things he says and does are controversial but it's great viewing. Big Brother would n't be the same if they filled it full of 'normal' people who played as a team. And Wife Swap would be like a yawnful soap if the families were similar. I've met the guy a few times and he's very articulate, extremely funny and intelligent. He's not at all stuck up and if any of you are lucky enough to be in the Top Gear audience, you'll find him approachable and ever ready to give you the time of the day. And he doesn't hate yanks! He spent quite abit of time yakking to my mate's American girlfriend about the place. The Brunel documentary and his story of the Victoria Cross were some of the best things he's done.

They can't give you a shit reference and if they did you would have grounds for legal action for libel and best of all have the evidence in writing. Worse case would be no reference but then this would still reflect badly on your present company as the interviewer can approach them for an answer. Again if they say anything bad then it's slander. My company gives references which more or less say ' Joe Bloggs worked here'. These days it's not considered good practice to say this guy is fab and is the best thing since sliced bread and should be El Presidente of UK. If it turns out to be the opposite then the referee gets sued.. Go for it.

You didn't spot the snipers?

We do the Euro lottery at work. I collect 68x£1.50 off everybody. Takes all week. Last week all we got was £9.60 or 14p each. So somebody said lets abolish it. We all voted and the continue vote won. But the NO voters were sh1t scared of losing out if we cleaned up so they all rejoined!!! LOL!!!

This bit would've looked good in The Spirited Driving Chronicles. Better luck next time.

I luv the piccie of the arse - of your Supe I mean. Which edition of Maxim?

So is breaking the speed limit. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] Nobody guilty of that here.

Close, you're out by 85 years. I'm 214. I must venture out from my crypt in the hours of darkness and quench my thirst on the blood of young chavs.

This years insurance renewal landed this morning. Fully comp, full protected NCB - £303 from Admiral. Must be a typo error but I'm not complaining. [GRIN][/GRIN]

Most air liners take off at about 150 mph. Is that why stock Supes are limited to 155 mph?

That's where my picnic bench went?

That's quite an impressively modded Supe you got. Where can you buy these pumps?

Special officer? Don't you mean Special Forces Officer!!! [sHOCK][/sHOCK] They need all the help they can get. I can't wait until The Near Future when cops are gonna be like Mad Max and shoot driver not for bad driving but for having bad mutant haircuts. No that was Mad Max 2. Where do I sign up? [GRIN][/GRIN]

Okay how about this? You've got a zillion points on your licence. You see somebody yakking on their mobile while driving and shop them to the fuzz and for being a reformed law abiding citizen get to transfer some of your points onto their ticket? Is that a good one?

Here's one that a 'friend' of mine has frequently. He buys a Supra and his knob shrinks. [/sHOCK] He starts modifying the Supe and after each mod, his todger gets smaller. /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif Eventually it's the most powerful Supe in the universe, does 1/4 in 6 secs, 0-60 in 3 s and tops 250 mph. But now he's like Action Man. [sHOCK] /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif Can somebody interpret the meaning?

If I was El Presidente, I'd say if you spot somebody on their phone while driving and can prove it then you should get paid their fine. Nice little earner. Then you'd soon see everybody stop yakking while driving. Now would you get nicked for photographing with your camera phone while driving. DOH!!! Might work if you're a pedestrian.

I was a Blade Runner! The paintball team.

Sadly there are dumber people who will actually fall for this.

You're all in a night club. You've all been drinking. You're all having a good time.You met her a few weeks ago and the next time you see her is last night. So what have you been doing since? Does every girl who talks to you become your property? I think you may be over reacting a tad. I wouldn't blame her or your mate. You had your chance a few weeks ago. Learn from this and next time you meet a girl make something of it. Sorry but that's life. Been there. Got loads of tee shirts.

There's a guy who works down the chip shop who swears he Elvis. My friend Kirsty Macoll told me that. But I think she's dead. [/sAD][sAD] /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_sad.gif

Oi stay on topic or start a new thread. Don't forget to add Gay/Lezza/Black/Mental as options. Oh yeah don't forget - woman.

No there were UK spec 6 speed manuals. I test drove one a few years ago. I should've bought it. [sAD][/sAD]
