Took me a minute to remember November and Whiskey I get it now Mike, was distracted thinking I'd FUBAR'd!! Where do people find all these random pics GIF's and clips to use when abusing the rest of TF?

What do you mean Mike? Correcting golg to golf? Hardly a crime, or am I missing the point here?

feck! 19%! thats basically a ski jump in anything other then a downforce car!! keep this thread updated during quali as I'm working and the feed will keep me informed!

If Jenson's quicker it'll only cost McLaren $100,000 to get them to swap anyway! I'd love to see McLaren keep the big wing, ok it'll give people a tow down the straights if they can't neutralise it fully, but seeing Lewis with better braking stability would mean the other drivers wouldn't have a hope in hell on the brakes! Plus they'll not be affected when tucked up and they can stay off the duct and keep the downforce! I'd also like to see Vettel lose it again and write Alonso off or Schumacer

Make sure you are yourself around potential course mates and flat mates. Try to get into every other girls pants. In all seriousness, every single person at freshers will be in the exact same boat! Just mingle and enjoy it! It's one of the best things you'll ever do!! Although whilst doing this, try and stay within your limits. Don't be the first one home being sick/ become a liability with your new family, It'll all be forgotten eventually but when you haven't got muych to talk about at first it will become the conversation starter, My housemate managed it and loved it being brought up, although he's a mess anyway!

my 33yr old mechanic mate (who races at the weekend in caterhams) managed to bin a MGF when driving it from the garage, round the back to the lock up at work. It was a 30mph road, I was sat next to him so can confirm we were doing 30mph, turned around a nice gentle sweepy corner, not accelerating or braking just rolling round. The car reached the middle of the corner, found some diesel, swapped ends, slid across the oncoming lane backwards and into a ditch and a hedge. Best driver i know in very capable little car undone by the circumstances. I've just turned down a job driving a long wheelbase van, My licence covers me but i haven't driven a car on the road for more the an hour in total for about 3 yrs. I've ridden bikes that long but I don't trust myself in a big van! Personally if someone bought me a R8, I'd have it in a flash. The fact it has so much latent ability would mean I'd never reach the ragged edge. and that suits me down to the ground, I've got motorbikes to give me that feeling, which my sumo does at much lower speeds then you'd expect. My usual loop probably doesn't exceed 60mph

manual sounds better, by miles. stoppie, sidehop, G-turn, skid, frenchies and hooks are all examples of unimaginative people naming trick Never had a manual dream, persevered with the manual. I can manual really well, MTB, trials bike, bmx can all be manualed. But it has to be constant practice. I do them every time I ride, I try them anytime I'm rolling between places/hanging around/waiting for a go on a section. Although, what hacks me off is i can't wheelie my MTB, never learnt as a kid and i'm desperate to learn how but cannae get the hang of it!

BB is too low, those 90mm fox forks are a little too short for the bike but they're so damn good! and the frame's too low for proper xc but minor issues to be fixed when i get money! Thinking of sticking with a spesh frame, or maybe a dmr trailster2 anyone have any experience with one? would they work with 90mm forks? Any suggestions for (low budget) frames please guys?

Is this BMX or MTB? On my mtb I need a kicker and it fooks your wheels (could just be poor tekkers though) BMX, sloped wall to start, get proficient at that, then take it the real deal, naturally you'll tent to try and hit the wall at a shallow angle (less then the 45 degrees mark mentioned) If you approach it straight on you instinctivly do the correct to 45-60degrees when you hop anyway. If you can find a wall with a little bank/ slope at the bottom then it becomes easier to ride in/out

Correct. I don't but a french friend of mine does. It's mainly in france and canada he's used it. say's its great.

I think the voting system is a good idea. Yet in less twenty minutes, he's achieved his goal of reaching full members. This shouldn't be how it works, it was always supposed to work on merit!

Doubt its quite that simple down a straight in an F1 car (i know it is for them though) If the door had been closed early, as schui knows to do, then Rubens would have had to go aroind the outside. He'd still have made it comfortably, but once he'd dived out to the right this option evaporated, and at this point there was still considerable safe overtaking space on the right before ze german decided he'd quite like to either remove Rubens from the planet, or maybe his nose cone as a compromise.

Cool no immediate adverse affects and therfore no need to claim. However is someone going to give the irresposible git a life lesson? (i mean in terms of the fleeing the scene and obviously driving without due care at the minimum?)

Ok fair enough, when i watched it live, that was the impression i got, if you've reviewed it and I'm wrong then ok. Equally it was completely obvious to both drivers that rubens was going to pass schumacer, schumacer knew it and rubens knew it, yet he decided to risk both their lives for an inevitable pass for a single (non podium and non championship winning) place on the track. Ok, bring Senna's quote out again but it just doesn't apply (at least not in the direct interpretation as quoted from Ayrton) anymore I'm afraid. I also conceed that the senna quote is applicable to Rubens too, he saw a chance and was completely commited to it, schumacer saw the inevitable and made a dangerous and futile attempt to block him. adimtedly, 'thats racing', but at the same time racing has a code of chivalry where respect should be shown to other drivers

Hell yeah! I'm cursing myself for not lsitening to maiden for a while!

at one point they were interlocked wheels any sudden change of speed by either would have caused a crash, also the visibility is massively impared in those cockpits, so he propbably wasn't aware quite how close it all came to disaster

However don't you think the guy who T-boned them then fled the scene deserves a kick up the arse? If you cause an RTC, man the f**k up and deal with consequences, the driver that fled clearly casued the incident and a civil pursuit would make him aware of the consequences of his actions

I get your point and personally I'd prefer it in my room anyway. But Nick has just said he kept his stunning trials bike and another (guessing XC steed or commuter?) in the same 'sheds' and I thought I'm just offering the guy options as I went to Plymouth Uni and live in the city anyway. The lock up's have individual locking doors then you can use your own locks inside as well. The University itself has about a billion bike loops, all in plain site/busy areas which would make stealing from these very difficult

Oh i'm sure he'll find a way amongst the mid-pack to cause mayhem as usual. I can especially see this happening if the merc isn't up to scratch and some of the minnow's try and take him on. I hope he blows a disc and slides into a nice soft gravel pit, out of the way. That way the race can be raced, not risked.

plym's lock up looks fairly sturdy and you may be lucky enough to have a room overlooking the sheds from certain halls anyway

As mentioned, don't tune it or otherwise tune it with no aerial so it wipes all the channels. Don't have a aerial cable/aerial in your room and as mentioned, you can tell the licence people to do one as they have no right to enter without permission. As far as i can tell from a quick goggle and browse, it's their obligation to prove you're illegally watching live broadcasts, not for you to disprove. So unless their kit can track you, actually receiving live TV, in your precise location, then they've no hope.

If you've enough room, in your room, I'd keep it in your room. Thieves are aware that those sheds and 'secure' areas are a gold mine, a friend of mine's bike lasted less then 6hrs. he arrived locked it with a motorcycle chain and lock in a cctv area in the middle of a circle of halls, went for a beer with his new friends. when he walked back and it had gone. Any locked door which is recieving broadcast television needs a licence, you don't, but as already stated, make sure the licencing people know this!

That was brilliant. loved seeing a creative rider allowing their flair to shine and not follow the trends of 'bigger is better'. Thats the only video i've watched all the way through in several months! and i still wanted to see more!!! The back wheel on the wall to rolling frenchie on the bench was awesome! Trails needs more people like you!
