    It did round nurberg, but like clarkson said, the top gear track is a power track, and the gtr doesnt have the flat out power of enzos etc. Just an absolute beast through the corners.
  3. Id say Fat Pants=fail.
  4. You. Have. Aids. Unlucky.
  5. I would say from the symptoms youv described, the above diagnosis is indeed (sadly) correct.

    I dunno, Id say its pretty impressive for a 5 seat (?) saloon car that you could actually drive your nan and cousins around in. It beat alot of 2 seater pure sports cars.

    Really liked that episode, clarksons comments on the hunt were pure genious- mainly the emergency call. I would have the roller deffinatly, although the merc is very nice. GTR's time was mental, and that new merc slk (?) black looks amazing, will be interesting to see how it compares to the maclaren.

    LIES! It wouldnt work, think about it, the holes in a rim are fluctated between left and right hand flanges, do the math, its not gunna work out.

    Dob 20"

    Yea, mod bike lengths. Pshhhh bike looks really nice though man, I swear I read somwhere you were coming over to the man-side though? Edit: For all those that dont realise man-side=stock.
  13. I took an interest in bikes when I was about 11, rolling around on a muddy fox, one of my brothers friends rode trials and I decided to learn to wheely off stuff. I did it mostly too look cool (lol) but after a while I got a 20 inch bike and started wheelying off stuff on that. This was before I had any sort of internet access, so basically all my riding was for a year or so was wheelieing off things, and bashing up them, obviously this became rather boring after a while so I stopped and rode a 24" jump bike for a long while. However I missed trials, I find that the people in it on the whole are friendlier and the entire comunity as a whole tends to group together and act as just that- a comunity. So for the past (6months or so?) I have been riding "proper" trials on the streets (and attempting to ride oxford rock, which is about as close to natural as Iv ever been) I think that I (and maybe others aswell) feel that Im not really of a standard to ride comps yet, I know there are different levels and what not but I dont know, even on group rides I am concious of my riding (silly, I know) but I would say alot of its about confidence, riding with 2 or 3 people you know very well on your local homebase pallets is different (I imagine) to riding in front of a fair few people at a comp. I have been wholeheartedly considering signing up though, but I would like to experience some natural riding first, just to get a feel of it. I and no doubt many others am/are very uneducated as far as trials comps go and I have no idea reallllyyy how it all works, other than the whole 5 dabs thing. I think itd be a good idea to whack up a couple of sites for people to look at find out how to register/what not, Im sure in typing that Im being very silly as there are no doubt links and things alllll over the forum, but for people who read it and are inspired by what I can only describe as one of the best posts Iv seen on here in a veryy long while it may be usfull to add a couple of links for them to click on (half the forum are un-naturaly lazy) Thats my (no doubt badly spelt/punctuated) 2 cents.
  14. Yea, fair do's for doing it but to all those lazy so and sos who wont register, vimo is the fastest registerig site Iv ever done id say, you basically just choose a pass word, enter your name, and your email and your done...

    Mod Cravings

    Got serious mod cravings, despite being the owner of a stock and being told Im a far better stock rider, recently riding my mates mod the riding feels smoother for me, (although aparantly doesnt look it) and Im just sitting here thinking a mod would be so fun, Iv had a mod before and I dunno dont think it was that great... Help me get through thissssss

    Bud its just on the one flange, its 3 spoke holes that have pulled through, the flange is the whooollleeee thing. But yea you are indeed correct that is fooooked, he didnt mention that atall? And the buckle, up and downs are pretty much impossible to get out depending on the extent of the buckle there not normally to noticable... although my mate once did it so much the whole of his front end went up and down because the wheel was excentricly buckled to feck.
  17. Iv got like £10, doubt il get there n back on that :/
  18. How exactly, is filling prongs on the magura going to stop the rim flexing?

    "mr Leon"

    As far as Im aware a hub only has two flanges, one on the left, and one on the right..... And yea I agree it is bad that the wheel isnt true, but at the end of the day, iv bought wheels that arnt dead true before, despite being described as true it is normally less hassle to spend like 5minutes trueing it than it is to come on here and argue.
  20. You coulda just told him to click reply, copy what comes up, then paste it into his sig...
  21. She kinda reminds me of my ex. lol. Anyways, I love the pics, capture the action really well, and I think they give a very unique and new look on trials photography.
  22. Max you b*****d,^ I didnt post that. Anyway, yes Il go since its on a sunday, and sundays are good.
  23. Thats so nice. Like. so nice. makes me want a Mod *punches self in head*
