The cars and bikes thread!

There's this awesome b road on the way home but it's always jammed with people doing 40 (it's a 60 limit - makes me furious). The first time it's ever been clear was tonight... when it's raining seemingly record amounts. Typical. Kinda fun though, and scarey - rwd in the rain is a lot to handle.

Only when you're not used to it. Once you get to feel the balance and what it takes to make the rears let go, it's just something to be aware of. RWD in snow...now that can be scary.

The idiots that slow down at speed cameras for no reason whatsoever.

Here in Maryland we have mobile speed cameras in work zones. People will slow to less than 50mph in a 55mph zone when there is a camera (law requires lots of signs for the cameras).

Our cameras don't ticket until you're 12mph over the limit.

Was thinking just that on the way home. There's the above, plus most cars overreport speeds by a few mph.

This person didn't slow down in a multistorey carpark.....

I was complaining at the cost of a set of tyres for my car......

Just found out a new set of tyres for an A380 airplane costs $2,000,000

Think I'll stop complaining

I'm sure there's some back street boy banging out remoulds for £50 a pop.

As I said elsewhere, a new iteration of a corpse.

Nah. If you need/want a big saloon and have the budget then why wouldn't you get the most powerful 5 there is?

If you want something more twitchy you could get an m3, m2...
