    (to go with the bikes of course) Now looking for a VW Transporter for track days/camping.

    Petrol heads are petrol heads, just the smart ones go for 2 wheels as well as 4.

    Knobs.

    But occasionally you come across a sensible one just interested in cruising. (not in the George Michael sense....)

    We had a spate of it it last year. A bunch were meeting at a pub car park at the end of the village bypass, racing up it, into and through the village and back to the car park like a time trial. One of them lost it and wrote off three parked cars and his own before doing a runner on foot.

    There's a reset button on the Xbox?



    I've never completed a single lap on any race game and now you say there's a reset button!

    No shiny. I dont think ill ever get a car other than to be functional. It will never have the acceleration and excitement of a bike. I am doing my car test this winter, but so i can get a van for the bike to start racing. Functional.

    well said.

    It does amaze me what the youth do to 1.2 Corsa, Big Exhaust, pumping stereo system. Sorry ICE as it is today

    But each to their own. and yes i normally stay away unless they want a race lol

    I had a sapphire cosworth when I was 18 totally original amount of same age people that used to give it all off the lights everyone saying you gonna change exhaust bigger wheels na . Left as was never used to thrash it about just cllean and cruise ha ha . We have loads by us and it makes me cringe to think of kids walking along the pavemrnt with these muppets with hardly any driving experience razzing up and down

    It did always confuse me when as young single lads in the army with too much disposable income my mates used to buy cheap small engined cars and spend loads of money modifying them.

    I used to buy larger engined cars and apart from a set of alloys and a decent stereo I used to keep them standard and spend the money on the higher insurance.

    I never really considered myself a boy racer but I was definitely a petrol head and always enjoyed having a nice car as I used to do a 7hr round trip every weekend to get home from wherever I was posted.

    My bikes however have always been modified quite heavily and have been ridden faster than I ever drove,

    Had a Seat Ibiza (I think it was) with 3 of them in it trying to chase me on the way back from York to Teesside on Sunday. They were driving like they'd stolen it. They may well have. Obviously thought it'd be fun to try to keep up with the guy on the Blade. It didn't last long.

    Got to say that it scares me when some bellend in a car decides to chase you. Makes one feel very exposed.

    I prefer baiting the rich guys in Ferrari's, Lambos.. Much more satisfying destroying a super car ;)
