post of the week...
how pissed were YOU last night?
Was just about to ask the same thing..post of the week...
how pissed were YOU last night?
It didn't fall off, it merely became insufficient at it's purpose and got a bit droopy...
Hissed as a fart I reckon !post of the week...
how pissed were YOU last night?
Ummm... well I'd had about 14 units over 2-3 hours, so the answer was pretty drunk but still conscious. I certainly was slurring by the end of the night! Was posting from my mobile phone as well, hence the typing mistakes!post of the week...

Bit late now, I know, but you could have paid a visit to MK to watch an Ice Hockey game, MK Lightning played Telford.
I would expect it to be fairly cheap for a ticket and Ice Hockey is a good sport to watch if you ever find yourself bored again.
Well, in the end, I drank some beers with a good mate, had 11 hours kip on his extraordinarily comfortable sofa, and spent half a gallon of petrol the next day testing out the handling of my little roller skate on the roundabouts of H3. A very light dusting of rain kept the speeds fast rather than frightening, and the lift-off oversteer manageable and entertaining, rather than life-threatening.
And on the way home, I got a totally perfect run at the M25 eastbound/ M11 southbound sliproad. There wasn't another car for miles around. For those of you who've never driven it, large signs warn you on the way in that it's very tight and that the speed limit is 30mph. When you tool in at 70mph, you wonder why they're so conservative....then the corner tightens up, then tightens up some more....then there's a switchback from right to left, and you fire out onto three lanes of the M11.
Planting it in fourth from 55mph (my lowest speed) on the way out, the engine sang up to 6500RPM and ~75mph. And I literally burst out cackling, on my own in my shonky looking old tin-can of a car. Maybe I'm sad, but life is made of such little moments.
Edit: I should add that just to get you in the mood, there's a great tunnel on the M25 about half a mile before the M11 sliproad. Open your window and get your engine singing to 7000rpm in 3rd- it gets the juices flowing.
That's not the section of the M25 between junctions 20-23(ish) where they've got works is it? Because they've got average speed cameras all along that section you know!
(I shall be having the pleasure of sitting in 50mph or less traffic along that stretch to the A10 junction in about an hour. Woo!)

Not at all sad. When I had my old Rover 414 I had no greater pleasure than making the tires squeal on one particular roundabout just outside Keighley on my way back from Leeds to Skipton. Or pulling back onto the motorway from a services and hitting 50 in second and 70 in third. I've never been fussed about speed, but acceleration is something else completely...

No, I'd already been through that bit. M11 slip is J27 according to the map I just googled. I must admit that I probably averaged 55mph on the way up through the average speed section, but I assume there's some tolerance built in?
Of course I then got it most of the way up the M1 as well. Hence I suspect my average for the whole trip will be at least 40mpg, despite the many instances of throttle use and abuse along the way.
A 106 Ralleye has decent straight line acceleration, but it's matched by many a modern turbodeisel dullmobile. The real fun is in going round corners clinging on to the wheel for dear life to avoid falling out of the seat. Feeling the steering wheel twitch as you test the limits of front end traction on the way out is just a bonus.Not at all sad.

I really can't reccomend the M25 Eastbound / M11 Southbound slip highly enough. I used to rinse it in my old Mk1 MR2, but I was always a bit scared of what would happen if the back broke away. My old diesel Mondeo has great handling but no power at all, and I'm usually limited to 45-50mph by the cries of "bloody hell!" from the in-laws in the back seats.
But in a car that just benignly understeers if you keep the power on, and then twitches the back 15-20 degrees when you lift off, so it's very easily catchable, it's just glorious. I reckon I was 10mph away from the limit. So I'll go though 5mph quicker next time
As I said to a friend of mine recently:
"Are you going round a corner too fast when you nearly fall out of the seat?"
He said:
"No, you just need better seat belts"
