    now now. i think we are generally like minded and none of us are reckless drivers nor would you risk the nippers safety.
    my point being i found myself shaking my head at the ugly jap car popping away .
    i know they are quick etc but they scream about it too much for me.
    i have confirmed Im an old git anyway. i went to a wedding last night. a song called the harlem shake came on. i looked at the wife and said. that's not music its just noise.
    holy crap i sound like victor meldrew!

      I laugh at the little things on jap cars....anyone else noticed the latest craze ?
      The "tow" strap attached to the towing eye ? Then sometimes they have tow writtain next to it, as if you'd take a 1.5 civic on a race track with your bin lid wheels !

        Sorry Andy. If I was a copper and I saw that, I would have pulled you over and given you a serious ticket. Only "75" with the baby on board. Oh well then.

          It has to be said, there is something incredibly satisfying about mullering a 'hip' cool dude in their jumped up Magimix, especially when the kids and wife all wave at him as we go past when he's flat out, then, to add insult to injury, the collie barks at him as the old green Audi ******s off into the distance. Its childish, I know, but we're all aged seven at heart.

            You gotta remember 75 in the uk is what everyone does safer than doing 65 ..only the lorrys get forced to do 56.. Lol

              I hear you, but 70 75 is not fast, on a side note I wonder how many kids do triple figures down the autobahn

                Anything less than 75 in the UK and you are likely to get shunted from behind by a granny in a Micra....

                    Toyota Prius seem to be the fastest things on the Motorways these days, they're all tearing about at 100mph... Which is really saving the planet... The folk are right, if you drive up most motorways, especially the M4/M40 type roads, you're a liability at 70mph. 60mph with the trucks is fine, or 90 with the lane three stuff... 70 is neither one or 'tother..

                      Andy i know what you mean about those tow eye straps. who is that guy Luke?
                      its not just the jap cars though. did anyone go to ultimate dubs. again a was doing some head shaking.
                      mk5 r 32 that was so low on air ride it was un driveable. if you looked close the rear arches were damaged from repeatedly hitting the rims . why?

                            Why? Why? Why? (not why do you dislike them Andy) What would make anyone think they look cool?
