    Now let me see.... if you got 100,000+Kms out of tryes that you did 'some hard diving' on & '(just) 10,000K's out of the ones on the 'SS' at work'....

    1. How hard were you diving the ''SS' at work'? :confused:
    2. How crap are(were) the tyres fitted to the ''SS' at work'? :confused:
    3. Did the boss know that you took the ''SS at work' to the burnt out comp at the speedway on Saturday night?

    I guess you don't have an 'SS' at home.

    Obviously you hadn't had a single glass as you took the trouble to use upper case I's
    Cliff, I suspect the vehicle in question is a TMU hotrod, they frequently follow behind me when I'm towing so no one oncoming can see them.

    Sorry, but using a lower case i when the upper case I is called for is an anathma to one of my profession and thus, even as they lower me into the grave, I will still be hammering away on a keyboard and using upper case Is where appropriate

    I've done some hard driving in my car. I've done some rediculous driving in the work car. 18" Rims on the SS at work and lots of trying to catch up to people doing 130 kmh when you're sitting still and they've got a head start of half a k.
    Is there anything easier done than said?

    IMHO the best saloon tyres are made by Firestone (NZ) and are called 'Firehawk 960' I think. I put'em on the Commodore and they made the Bridgestones seem like forklift tyres. About $450 for the set.

    I knew a Baptist minister years ago. Quiet, old fashioned sort of guy. Well, one day he decided to buy a motorbike because he did a lot of travelling around the city visiting parishioners. He bought a sensible little 250. Got his licence. Served his time on his P's. Then bought a CX500. Then Kawakasaki brought out the GPZ900R. He bought one :eek: Six months later, he's in court, explaining to the magistrate that the bike was now his only form of transport and if they take his licence away he won't be able to do his pastoral duties. The magistrate gave him one point back and a stern talking to. That was BEFORE speed cameras. He sort of slowed down after that ...

    His missus was your classic, lace collared, quietly traditional minister's wife. She wrote off a pair of boots one night coming back from Sydney. Fell asleep on the pillion seat, her foot slipped off the footpeg and rested on the muffler while they crossed the Hay Plain ... at 180 km/hr :eek:

    But, his biggest hassle was visiting the parishoners. Because he was on the bike all the time, he bought a set of leathers. But everytime he visited someone, they gave him a cup of tea and biscuits. Soon he'd put on so much weight that the leather's only juuusssstttt fit ... sort of.

    For some reason, the Reverend "what his name was" was known universally as Revs "what his name was".

    Cheers

    To DANP,

    You didnt't catch me I did 9000kms @ 120k's per hour back earlier this year

    The only time a cop pointed his radar gun at us the wife was driving, and she has a job to reach the accelerator pedal and we were hardly moving
