What did we learn today , boys and girls?

We learnt that 5.0l GT40 replicas are quicker on the bypass, but 2.0 Locosts are quicker on the corners






If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

a few months ago we learnt that a 1.8 zetec with 130k on the clock got to 75 quiker than the posing bxxxxrd in his Ferrari, and he was slower to 90 than my mate with a 2litre

Oh then we got screwed





Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I learned that I need better silencing, sdome earplugs and to go around my car and dampen any vibrations in order to be able to enjoy my car for more than 10-15 minutes without going deaf...

Oh, and it has a massive hesitation in first gear on full throttle.

i think we have learnt that you need to turbocharce your engine, thenyou can be as quick as the gt40 on the straight and even quicker on the bends

ps i bet that was some fun racing (on private roads of course)

Astra cabby drivers are total wankers and Micra 160 sport models are pretty damn quick.

Also an lsd makes doughnuts a piece of cake, even two up

do taxi drivers also all drive about with thier roof lights on, but aren't interested in picking you up if you try and wave them down? i found this out last nite

i also learned last nite not to pick up an excitable 3 month old puppy when i went to my friends house last nite. couldn't work out why my legs was all wet...

I learnt that my Chavstra will do at least 120 (on a private road of course - definitely not the A2)

I learned that I am a complete coward.

I wont press the button on my screen that says "leave the company"

After 40 years here.... I think I have become institutionalised.
I havent sat an interview in 40 years (since I was 16) and the big bad world is scaring me to staying in my current job.
I really should not be such a big girls blouse






1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

How old are you to only just learn that? Or are you from Abu Dabi or something?

I learnt that if your mouth opens within earshot of stepdaughter, you're talking to her and totally justified in the abuse you recieve, among other things
