Title: i nearly died Post by: magicroundabout on Monday, August 29, 2005, 19:54:10 coming home from tranmere today with Ralphy and was approaching a roundabout.
for some reason Ralphy thought he was on a duel carraigeway and pulls onto the otherside of the road. :shock: i said "i'm sure this isn't a duel carraigeway" when out of no where a fucking car is right in front of us. but calm as you like we pulled in and started laughing. the other car slamed his brakes on and the bloke shit himself. good job we wasn't going fast Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 29, 2005, 19:54:39 Cunt ! :mrgreen:

Title: i nearly died Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:27:42 That's pretty good isn't it? How much to fill the tank?
Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:30:29 Quote from: "Edinburgh_STFC" That's pretty good isn't it? How much to fill the tank? Well i use Shell Optimax which is 97.9 p a litre at my local garage and today a fill cost £46 Title: i nearly died Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:32:07 Quote from: "Ralphy" Quote from: "Edinburgh_STFC" That's pretty good isn't it?

Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:33:34 Normal Unleaded is 92.9p down here, Optimax is allways more.
Title: i nearly died Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:35:20 I haven't put petrol in the car for ages so it sounds like I am in for a shock! I was advised to put the fancy petrol in my car, does it make any difference at all?
Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:37:33 Optimax gives slighty better ecomany, better response, smoother running and cleans the injectors.
I swear by it. Title: i nearly died Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:39:09 Why is my car's steering so fucked since it's MOT was done? It's super light, I'm having to oversteer like fuck and the back slides out and wobbles a bit whenever I brake and turn a corner.

Title: i nearly died Post by: magicroundabout on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:44:08 Oi Whits :evil:
you know what you've done love it :nod: Title: i nearly died Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:44:20 Quote from: "sonicyouth" Why is my car's steering so fucked since it's MOT was done?

Title: i nearly died Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, August 29, 2005, 20:58:25 It's been since the MOT, got two new rear tyres but I can't understand how that'd fuck up the steering (then again I don't know a thing about cars). Tracking seems fine but the alignment's been fucked for ages, but that's fixed after the MOT.
No ice in the sunny south east. magic - it was me 8) Title: i nearly died Post by: Whits on Monday, August 29, 2005, 21:04:10 Quote from: "Whits" Quote from: "magicroundabout" Oi Whits :evil: you know what you've done love it :nod: what did i do?? :? oh that - was sonic!! :twisted: :eat: Title: i nearly died Post by: Asher on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 07:43:06 Ralphy - I so shouldnt have zoomed off on the motorway ended up taking her advice and taking the long way around the M6, had to fill up again at south cerney so that trip cost about £50 ish quid! 360 miles - shocking
As for your driving you were a bit like a girl (I will wait for my points in the post thank you) Title: i nearly died Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 07:56:51 Quote from: "sonicyouth" It's been since the MOT, got two new rear tyres but I can't understand how that'd fuck up the steering (then again I don't know a thing about cars).

No ice in the sunny south east. magic - it was me 8) ah new tyres. theres your answer. cos you have fresh rubber you need to let them bed in really and get used to the road. for a few miles yet you will find the stering really light. especially if it was heavy before due to warn down tread Title: i nearly died Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 07:58:47 What pie do you have there Magic?
Title: i nearly died Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 08:02:20 it was a steak and kidney. i also sampled a meat and potato pie before the game :eat:
Title: i nearly died Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 08:04:10 Out of 10?? It sure looks tasty...
Title: i nearly died Post by: Asher on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 08:09:38 Ive never seen a man enjoy his pies as much as magic did yesterday!
Title: i nearly died Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 08:12:09 If you'd seen me devouring a balti pie at Barnsley you may not have that opinion, man that was good...
Title: i nearly died Post by: magicroundabout on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 08:12:10 meat and potato - 7/10
steak and kidney - 5/10 was dissapointed in the steak and kidney. found the pastry too hard on top. was like crunching through a brick Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 11:27:06 Asher, i stay a steady 80 on the motorway cos in this day and age there are camera's everywhere, as well as camera vans and traffic cops.
Also my mate is a fireman and every weekend tells me another gruesome story of an RTA he attended. Lastly, i want a family one day and can't if i have no legs :-))( I've known alot of people's lifes ruined too from RTA's. Rant over. :) Title: i nearly died Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 11:31:23 I have no legs and i still have a family! :x :evil:
Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 11:33:31 :?
Title: i nearly died Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 14:32:45 I go 80mph because there are cameras everywhere?!
I presume you mean so you can slow down before cameras?! Otheriwse that makes no sense! Title: i nearly died Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 14:53:33 You don't tend to get done for doing 80 on a motorway. Although i did think that new cameras on the M4 were soon to be targetting 78mph and over...

I presume you mean so you can slow down before cameras?! Otheriwse that makes no sense! Police and camera's turn a blind eye upto 80-85 mph in general. Ash, you must have been doing well over a tonne on the way home?

Although i did think that new cameras on the M4 were soon to be targetting 78mph and over... If you get caught doing 79mph they wil lfine you. With regards to cameras you get 10%+2 leaway. Title: i nearly died Post by: Ralphy on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 16:11:57 Depends on the officer's discretion actually stfcfan, i have a friend in traffic.
If the conditions are good, road is not rammed full and your not driving irratically then most traffic cops won't stop you unless your going 85 mph + Title: i nearly died Post by: Sippo on Tuesday, August 30, 2005, 16:15:00 very true, but i was saying generally...
