My baby loves it rough  :wink:

I have a habit of driving eratically when I have my punk rock music on...  :evil:

But now my cd player has just decided to stop working.

During the week all i mostly do is commute to work and back but come the weekend i do like to go out to the peak district and give it some, so to speak :grin: But like monkeyalan, i went over the snake pass the other week and it was nice and clear most of the way so i drove it like id stole it :grin: It did make me realise how much i need a new rear engine mount though :shocked: :grin:

I was there when he did it!! new clutch and cable in now so is all good!


I always stick to the speed limits on normal roads with me walking on egg shells and all (3 points away from being banned)

but when i get on a B road it is jut impossible to drive slow and there fore give it the berries!

I like revving the bolocks off the valver so make sure it is constantly singing were the law permits (or doesnt see u  :laugh:)

Cars were meant to be driven as fast as possible! :grin:

I still drive like a mad thing, when conditions allow. Like I have said before the traffic volumes today restrict the times when I can drive as fast as I did 30 years ago!

So my answer is hard and fast when at all possible and safe!
