I just haven't got the balls to buy a 21 year old car as my first car. If I could afford two cars, I'd have it, but I need a car I could trust on a Winter morning to start, and I just couldn't....

Nice dream though.

Don't tempt me! I turn 17 in January.
But its a 21 year old Alfa.
That'll last about a month in my hands!

The word 'DOH' comes to mind!

Matt, how come you can spell dendrochronological but can't spell 'proove'?  

sh*t a friend only came back from a place just north of Tintagel on Saturday, and that's close(ish) isn't it?

I'm going to be an apprentice at Esso (or ExxonChemical) at Fawley as an instrumentation engineer.

Managed to pass the alcohol test too  
The equipment must be wrong  

I get my GCSE results in 10 days... I'm getting nervous!
Need another beer to calm me down......

Bet there are a lot of long faces in the forum now  

Hi BTW. I haven't been to these forums for ages, I gota get used to it again now.
 

sorry I didn't notice the other thread on this. Close this one if you want. My excuse is that I'm in a state of shock.

Read it and weep:

Without trying to piss on the bonfire Sarsons100, the EVO magazine could only get 197mph out of a Zonda S on the Autobahn with Andy Wallace at the wheel! It wouldn't go faster, so I'll be suprised if you've seen 207mph on an Isle Of Man trip. I've been at 180mph on a Busa, but thats faster accelerating, and more nimble.

Pic won't work, its of someone drinking 5 pints of Stella, fountain style.
I might be able to get to the MotoGP race at Donington though. Are any of you going to be there?

You mean revitalised like this...


(Don't know if the image will work)

I have a 2 hour science exam 9am Monday 14th June.

Red Stripe and Rum? I'm not the only one that has that reaction to it then. I'd drunk twelve cans and half a bottle of St. James Rum between 8pm and when it all went blurry (must have been about 2, I guess) and I had my second worst hangover ever.
My worst involved St. James rum too.
I wonder why (50%!!!)

No fair... I've got two GCSE exams on the Monday and my parents won't let me go because of them.

No, 900cc not 500, the 500s were two stroke. I think.
