Tell him what you really think

Or smarter... handbrake/neutral/foot off brake seems like a big waste of time.

Dunno how I feel about this . I like the simplicity of the 911, but the front of this new one looks a bit busy. http://www.fastmotoring.com/index.php/2011...ies-991-leaked/

Undecided on the car at the moment but you have a cool dog.

Hated this one. -
One pair of glasses is enough for me. I don't really want to have to wear two to watch my telly.

What's your reasoning on this? (not being cheeky)
-
I'll wait for my first warning then look into ways around it/proxies. Eat sh*t lawmakers.

Hahaha, this. Download chrome - the 2 minutes to download it are the most productive 2 minutes you'll ever spend. http://www.google.com/chrome/?brand=CHKB&a...p;utm_medium=ha

I have been a member of several forums and BS is by far the best I've used. Apart from video embedding my vote is to keep it exactly as is.

Personally I far prefer the S54's scream over the audi v8's growl. But we're all different

I suppose my main gripe with it is this: It will punish people like myself (for the next 9 months at least) who do the responsible thing, sleep if off at a mates place and get up to drive to work the next morning. At 8am the morning after, there will still be insignificant traces of alcohol in my system - which I could be DIC'd for. Is it impairing me? Hell no. Can I feel the effects of it? Hell no - Will there be severe consequences of it for me? Hell yes. People like myself who don't drink (more than 2 beers) and then drive aren't the dangerous ones. The dangerous ones are the ones who don't give a sh*t about the rules (as they are at the moment), get hammered, drive dangerously with no seatbelt on and kill themselves and their 7 mates all crammed in their clapped out civic. If they don't respect the 150mcg limit now, the wont respect zero tolerance. And I hate to say it, but all of these people are the ones that are crashing and taking other innocents with them. I do fully support the goal of the legislation as young drivers have a lot to answer for with respect to road safety, but I don't think this is the right approach. Personally I absolutely despise being punished for other's wrongdoings and this is essentially what this is. F*** the nanny state. Yeah you're right. A lot of younger drivers are appalling (I've got a few mates who should never be allowed to even sit in a driver's seat). But a lot of us are more competant than the average motorist. What's safer - A 20+ driver with 400mcg or an under 20 with 150mcg. Again, he's a drunk driver. A youth at sub 150mcg levels is extremely unlikely to fail this hard. But yeah, a start is a start. I don't agree. Limited consumption of alcohol mixed with driving is not dangerous - show me statistics that prove otherwise. Almost all alcohol related crashes happen when the driver is shitfaced not one or two beers down. I think the adult limit should be reduced, but the youth limit where it stood was OK in my mind.

Looks good man. Love the spoiler photo haha. Awesome thread is awesome.

A minor point I'd like to raise is the "fastest" lap they show of each car around the track. It seems with each successive season, the cars are more and more sideways around the track. In fact the 1M was drifting so hard through the follow through smoke was pouring off the rears. Are they just showing edited highlights, piecing them together and calling it the fastest lap for entertainment value? Or am I wrong in thinking a car going that sideways cannot be quick? Pretty good season so far, minus the 1000x times repeated jokes.

Jealous. As hell. Wellington is almost as cold with none of the fun... Friends in South Island have uni cancelled. Argh.
