 Re: The O/T thread! Watch the motors TV coverage of the 2cv racing on YouTube. It's better than F1. Also, I've been decorating all day and watching paint dry is more exhilarating than F1.

Also, I've been decorating all day and watching paint dry is more exhilarating than F1. I know. I watch it out of habit now because I've watched it since I saw Mansell win at Silverstone in 1987. But fuck me, it's boring now. The races might as well be decided by the pit crews playing chess. Las weekend I went to Donington Park for the historic racing. Much more fun to watch. I think I'll be getting my motorsport fix at more and more live events in future, as I can afford them. Especially now that MotoGP is not going to be on normal telly from next year. Bastards:( ... sorry. Bit of a rant.

Re: The O/T thread! Stopped watching now. At lap 29 I suddenly realised the dog's anal boils needed lancing, so I switched the F1 off and went and did that instead. Cheered me up no end.

Re: The O/T thread! Factor in your time (say £100 a day) plus petrol, wear and tear on your vehicle etc (45p per mile, easily) and you may as well go and buy from a local dealer. 350 mile round trip + your time = over £250! If you do that 3 times before you buy a vehicle you will be a grand down by the time you've found the one you want.
Buy from a local garage - at least that way you get some warranty and it isn't too far to go if you need to take the thing back and moan at the seller.
