P&R please

A&S, more like.

A&S, more like.

Agreed...

Should be back in the Road Bike Forum - they were obviously "roadies."

A&S, more like.

whoops, that's what I meant!

what's a ponce?

It uses 6,831 laptop batteries?

That seems reasonable.

what's a ponce?

A pooftah, a Nancy boy.

Besides the anti-cyclist comments, the author obviously hasn't seen Top Gear's review of the Tesler - and the fact that hard driving can deplete the batteries after two hours of driving (and require about 16 hours to charge up).

I wonder when he'll learn about this battery life issue. Probably immidiately after pissing off a small group of riders. Something tells me he won't have 16 hours of free time to make his getaway from a group of highly irate "lycra clad buttocks" heading straight towards him.

Maybe he'll need a bicycle. :lol:

I'd like to drive a lorry full of hooligans and ruffians right up his driveway, and knock his dustbins over.

As I recall from a TV interview, the car cost like a half million US dollars.:eek:
Seems from the article, the price is down to $130,000 or so.

Send the thread to P&R. Stop unsing A&S like a trash can for these threads!:innocent:

Even my washing powder is twice-the-price organic stuff that doesn't give worms tummy-aches when it returns to the earth.

He wishes he was Jeremy Clarkson. Simple as that.

How about it, mods?

The hooligans are loose! The hooligans are loose!

I'll admit that I didn't read the whole article, probably about half of it. But he does seem to have a problem with cyclists, doesn't he?

He wishes he was Jeremy Clarkson. Simple as that.

Probably is, under an alias.

This fellow needs a refresher as to the result of Top Gear's Race Across London:

1st place: Richard Hammond, Specialized Sirrus,
2nd place: Jeremy Clarkson, speedboat,
3rd place: The Stig, public transportation,
4th place: James May, Mercedes GL.

-Kurt

Agreed...why not foo?

After reading that, I don't have to stretch my imagination far to figure out why he's always having run-ins with cyclists.

well isnt DQ the exact opposite of this guy...

so extreme in his beliefs, that his opinions are meaningless

Probably is, under an alias.


Yeah, no.

James Martin is most famous for being a so called "celebrity chef", appearing on cookery based game shows.

Also, the Daily Mail is a horrible newspaper who's readership probably agree with every word he wrote.

God help him if a cyclist is ever a contender. Can you say "mincemeat?"

-Kurt

So what -- he drove a rolling electric penis enlarger. Still not visible to the unaided eye.

Don't bother knocking over his dustbins -- he'll just sit in his parlor and cry while he knocks up the bobbies (calls the cops).

And his problem with being 'green' -- probably afraid of the old-fashioned In-Sink-Er-Ator..... Or has an illegal immigrant sort his recycling/compost his refuse for him.

Stand up in his face, he'll shrivel like ashes in an ashtray.

Yeah, no.

A British 'chef' who writes about automobiles.

There's the problem with British cooking right there.

Just to let all James Martin Haters that he is currently doing a book tour of the UK at the moment. He's in my home town of Manchester tonight. And yep he's a complete Cu*t.

weird article or review or whatever that was supposed to be...

Send the thread to P&R. Stop unsing A&S like a trash can for these threads!:innocent:

Agreed. As well all the other treatise/rants on treehugging, cager bashing, simple living ascetics, petroleum economics etc. that gets dumped here by the the mods looking for a home for counter culture floatsam and jetsam.

I don't see how it's P&R. Maybe we need a "people who hate cyclists and they suck" forum?
