Bit pricey, not exactly Locost eh?
Blummin nice though, shame they let Clarkson get in it
Was it me or did the Stig not seem to get to grips with it terribly well?

No cd player for his Val Doonican. I liked the way they pitted it against the bike. I know a few bikers who will be crying fix. They'll still
pass you in the 30 limit though.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Me too pete, I notice it was a 600RR and not an R1, ZX10, Fireblade or Gixer1000. Too many cc's perhaps? I've had a Locost with Xflow
power and ZX9 Kawa power but I'd still rather have a bike for all out thrills

I can scare myself enough on a pushbike, 48mph down a local hill. I've still got a motorbike but it's not seen the road for 6 years.
It's a Honda 600 Revere and it was fast enough for me. I had a Yamaha 125 DTR trail bike as well which was a laugh and half.

Yer, get down to the plumbers and get some 38mm copper tube, get a few "T"s while your there and a spool of solder.

Yeah, reckon it would definately have been a bit fairer if they'd used a bike with similar power to weight.
Atom 600 bhp/ton bike 350 if you're lucky!
Still. That's Clarkson for you. He likes to bend rules for his own benefit.

Steve,
No, I believe absolutely nothing I hear on TG unless I want to hear it.
Such as the BMW ad they showed this week

They should have put a biker on the bike as well. I bet it was Hammond, the tosser. He daren't win or he'd get sacked. Have a go at this
in the meantime to get back at him.

Have a play on this as well, some good results with the goo tool.

i didnt see tg this week.
altho clarkson has a go at beemers, there have been occasions where he has said good things about them, then decides to forget.
he spouts bollox about cars not being good cos they dont have a ferrari badge on them, then goes on to pick faults with ferraris. he is selective with
what he says when it suits him.
and
most people that spout negative things about beemers dont seem to actually have driven one....... i was the same until I did.
all the assholes I knew seemed to have one - lately its volvo diesels.
the prices 3 series seem to go for when they are 5 years old with starship milage on em is pathetic tho. a 100k mile 3 series that 4 years old is
still worth 50% or more of its new value. Someone must want them.

We had a 323 with 100,000 when sold. The bloke who bought is was well pleased and so he should be as it really was still as good as new. Love or hate
they are very well designed and handle very well.
