  1. Interestingly, in cases where police drivers (and army in one case) have exceeded the limit on orders from the passenger, the "I was just obeying orders" defence failed - the driver was held entirely responsible. It strikes me that it is the court which has the double standards. M
  2. << Why did you get an Impreza? >> First part of my mid-life crisis. That bit was easy, but I'm struggling with the next bit: can't find a 20-year old Swedish aerobics insructor... M
  3. << Yah mate solo... but if you do get it, try to grab it from Game as it is still £9.98 there; everywhere else it is £27 - £35 >> Cheers M
  4. << Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is also shaping up to be rather good >> Is it played solo, or with tag-along NPCs like "Redemption"? I've been thinking of getting it now I've finally got bored with Morrowind after two and half years. M
  5. The PC may be up to date, but the 9800 isn't. Drop the resolution, and turn off FSAA and anisotropic filtering (don't need them in all that darkness anyway...). M
  6. Fun, but not true. As usual, always check these things with snopes.com. M
  7. People driving the last of the Ford Escorts - this car seems to have replaced the Volvo 340 as the car of choice for coffin-dodgers scared to go over 45mph in an NSL area. M
  8. I was told ali for both by the salesman (whose name was "Crooks" - what a giveaway...), but steel for the boot makes more sense: the loading from the spoiler at high speed must be pretty big. M
  9. OK, WTF? As someone correctly said (and was ignored): those are Hawks. Specifically, those are the Red Arrows. As for the Napier Sabre engine, when I worked at the IWM in Duxford we restored a cut-away version of one. Flat-H 24, sleeve valves (look great, spit out more oil than a ****el engine), 36.5 litres, 3055bhp at 1500rpm. And that is NOT a typo. Every other tw*t coming through would make the same "joke": "That would look great under the bonnet of my/your car!" Listen you idiot, it's six feet long and five feet tall, so you couldn't see around it - even if it fitted. It weighs just over a ton, so goodbye suspension. And when you put your foot down the torque would turn your car over. G*d I got sick of that... M
  10. Old. As is "French military victories" and "I'm feeling lucky". M
  11. << As long as they are a specialist; vat registered & use genuine Subaru parts............you can go anywhere you choose. >> I thought this only applied to cars bought after a certain date? Although if that one is only in for 10k miles it's probably new enough. M
