The funniest combo line I have heard was in KL when a Malay guy was talking to a Chinese.. "you want to (English) makan sini (Malay) or tah pow (Cantonese) the mee goreng?"
so i make 2 posts & all of ya jump me ............ weird ... obviously the signs of a true no-lifer ...
ahh.. oooohhhh... we were there 3.15. Stayed till 6 mate.... Jackson picked the stuff up for you too....
awesome stuff mate!!! wish I had been there. B road this morning OK, but the trip home more fun.... b roads too congested today.... had a brilliant run with my mates recently acquired GT2 (Weng's ex orange beast). MP.... ..... car is supremely planted.... changed the angle of my rear wing per Espace recommendations.... realise my comfort zone is really still 250-260kmh which I can do all day... anything above that and the knuckles start going white.... Fongster.... u going PCS track day Feb 6? I will be going as well as for BMWSG Feb 27 track day.... Derek... come along and give your car an italian tune up... may start behaving better....
Derek at first it sounded to me very much like one side of your engine bank had shut down... perhaps an emergency over ride....betting maybe like you were running on only four cylinders... but the fact that the engine was revving up would suggest clutch slippage instead...
It is near the Christmas break of the school year. The students have turned in all their work and there is really nothing more to do. All the children are restless and the teacher decides to have an early dismissal. Teacher: "Whoever answers the questions I ask, first and correctly can leave early today." Little Johnny says to himself "Good, I want to get outta here. I'm smart and will answer the question." Teacher: "Who said 'Four Score and Seven Years Ago'?" Before Johnny can open his mouth, Susie says, "Abraham Lincoln." Teacher: "That's right Susie, you can go home." Johnny is mad that Susie answered the question first. Teacher: "Who said 'I Have a Dream'?" Before Johnny can open his mouth, Mary says, "Martin Luther King.." Teacher: "That's right Mary, you can go." Johnny is even madder than before. Teacher: "Who said 'Ask not, what your country can do for you'?" Before Johnny can open his mouth, Nancy says, "John F. Kennedy." Teacher: "That's right Nancy, you may also leave." Johnny is boiling mad that he has not been able to answer to any of the questions. When the teacher turns her back Johnny says, "I wish these *****es would keep their mouths shut!" The teacher turns around: "NOW WHO SAID THAT?" Johnny: "TIGER WOODS. CAN I GO NOW?"
Its a stunning machine mate. Nothing comes close, and it can keep at it all day. Am really looking forward to seeing it a lot at the track as Steven is a track junkie. Will see how it holds out. Way I see it is based on your driving style and desire to use the darn thing rather than just cruise around slowly, the GT2 is the car for you. You will get maximum track time with minimal workshop time in this thing. And absolutely no need to modify, yet if you choose to do so... well.... you know better than anyone else what can be done to it... And mate.... the road presence of the thing is awesome... especially in orange- subtle shape but for those who really know cars and driving, the presence is verging on earth shattering like a mythical beast.... was great just seeing it bearing down on me as if I was standing still on the north south, lights on.... and at the time I had just reached 278kmh gps verified. Steven said the car felt like it was just cruising at those speeds.... lambo style mate.... Funny thing was he had actually made an offer on a Superleg but because Weng closed the deal so fast he decided to go with the GT2 and says zero regrets. You can see I am trying to poison you big time mate....
If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea....does that mean that one out of five enjoys it? Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with? If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes? If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for? If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? ? What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks? Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail? Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive? As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The' and 'IRS' together, it spells 'THEIRS'?
u don't need to mate ... i'm a die-hard porker lover ... & u know it ... trust me, i've not heard the end of it from the boss since i sold my 996TT ... & i'm like a fish out of water ... that said ... i DO love the SL ..... capable of terminal velocities that are unreal ............ unlike a certain other italian marque ..............
yeah mate, agree totally. will be an absolute sight to behold when done... but what makes it all the more impressive is this will not be a posers mobile once completed, it will be extreme and it will be used to the max.... the owner will take it straight back to the track once done and will have no issues about tearing it to pieces on the track...a few of us who know him well know that this car will not be pampered.
Mate, can be specially ordered.... but if you get a spare set of wheels why not buy Hooters instead... I mean Hoosiers.
Since you mentioned about the gear changes being a little rough, in the past after Sam (HSM) calibrates the F1 system in my exF430, the gear changes and clutch bitting point always seems to work much better! Apprantly Sam told me that in the Scud, it does it automatically. Hope this helps mate!
In this case, maybe the car system is learning your new driving habits thats why it got confused! Hahaaa
