RE: how fast have you personally been

Nothing wrong with the Astra , I have a blue 1.7TD saloon for farting around with and it’s mega cheap to run compared to my usual Volvo- can any body tell me how to post pictures on this forum ???

RE: how fast have you personally been

Bad experience with Porsches my mate bought a 928 S2 ,he and I went parachuting for a day , intending to stay in a local hostelry , unfortunately rather than book a room I thought I would sleep in the car , I woke up later after feeling a loud thud then a bang , had a very quick look at the dials and both needles were bouncing off the stops and realised he had decided to drive home , wanted to see how fast the car would go and I had woken up when he lost control and hit the central reservation .Every thing went blurry and when all came to a halt I was squashed aginst the back seat by the engine and gearbox , got dragged out by the hair , with relatively minor injuries , in court the police argued that “as the skid/debris trail extended over a length of 300ft , the defendant was comfortably exceeding the speed limit” result -5yr ban + £5000 fine ( 5 separate charges).
Had another hairy moment when the first YZF750SP’s came out , never checked the chain in 5 months , trying to wheelie to impress the wife , chain snapped , cut a neat slot in the tyre and wheel , wrecked the crankcase and ripped the heel off my boot , and shat me down the road , no helmet on and my mate caught it on video , embarrassing !!!

RE: Flug Werke 190 in the UK

The CAA have never had a problem with any of the new build 190’s flying in the UK as long as they are properly certified and registered in Germany ( which they are ) the only problem they may have is when somebody tries to register one over here – and as they are classed as new build this should not be a problem as Flug Werke hold the design rights and all the correct certification documents.

Gig of the year is SLF live at the Glasgow Barrowlands every St Patricks day since they reformed in 1991 , tickets are rarer than hens teeth but the atmosphere is pure electric , they always play the first few bars of Go For It before the bedlam starts , The Stranglers were never the same since Hugh Cornwell left , any thing from that era .NEVER go see a band who can’t play their own instruments !!!
