Dunno who the Stig is, but I've seen a chick driving round Auckland in an MX5 with "THST1G" as a personalised plate. Maybe she's his squeeze.

I got dive bombed this morning by a top dressing plane, I missed a really close up pic while I was getting my phone out. Misty and frosty about in the hollows as well.

I haven't DL'd any Top Gear yet, but with Fifth Gear on holidays until after the world cup, maybe now's a good time.


I think Top Gear is up to season 8 now. I like Clarkson, too many fantastic quotes to remember.

Stig has been a few people. Obviously race car drivers. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig

I download them, but this weeks one is really large ~700mb instead of the usual 350mb.
Yep its season 8, episode 5. 5 week break now for the world cup.

anyone ridden on Maxxis Cross Mark tyres? Thinking about some for my next set.

ed073 06-07-06 06:28 PM

check out ebay for "I am the Stig" t-shirts.

Funny.

Back to 5th Gear.....I'm back and forth each week on whether Vicki is hot or not.....

Thoughts?

ed073 06-07-06 06:33 PM

yes, came stock in tubless on the cannondale. imho, good rear, not a good front. if your a pythons, geax mezcal kind of person youl love them. if your a larsen, square block tread kind of person, youl find them twitchy.

they are quite fast rolling though. problem is when you ocme to a corner. they are goodish through sand as well if i recall correctly.

i swapped my front out for a larsen and was much happier.

Slightly along the same line (ie funny clothing slogans)... bloke in a rockclimbing film last night was wearing a cap with the slogan "I only date crack ho's"... a nice double entendre relating to his climbing specialty. Just the hat to wear to try and impress potential in-laws tho :)

The correct spelling is squeal .... and it really irritates me. But then, I ain't a squealer. :p

The other thing that annoys me is the stupid habit most Americans have of screaming "woo", at the slightest provocation - a sound which, unfortunately is being more frequently heard over here these days. :(

62vette 06-07-06 07:19 PM

I'm with you on the squealing Matagi. My neighbours' kids shriek when they have their mates round. It's a noise that just goes straight through you - worse than the fingernails down the blackboard. Teenage girls and swimming pools is a bad combination as well :fight:

ed073 06-07-06 07:24 PM

teenage girls?

swimming pools??


*ears prick up*

62vette 06-07-06 07:28 PM

Just remember the ear plugs Ed :p

Wilchemy 06-07-06 07:30 PM

^hehehe....you said "prick...and..."up"....hehehe

Sorry...flashback from watching too many beavis & butthead shows:o

Thylacine 06-07-06 07:48 PM

You know, I never thought I'd ever call a Merc 'sexy', but that CLS55 AMG is, well, sexy.

was_bmxer 06-07-06 08:14 PM

Pretty sure John Singleton has one of those, black amg jobbies, It does look impressive. Not 100% sold on the styling, give me a cl65 anyday (or a SLR, I won't complain).

Merc is the only major German car manu that I have not owned yet. One day.

Thylacine 06-07-06 08:18 PM

So, how is your Messerschmidt going?

:lol:

62vette 06-07-06 08:20 PM

It depends whether it comes with one of these accessories

was_bmxer 06-07-06 08:23 PM

I would love one of those. A super dooper NSU rota wouldn't be bad either

62vette 06-07-06 08:25 PM

The Messerschmidt or the girlie?

was_bmxer 06-07-06 08:30 PM

Prefer one of these

or to take it OT a bit more one of these would be fine.

Great face/smile. Love the way she speaks. Is a great driver but is a little chunky in the b*tt. She gets about a 7.5 as a package.

62vette 06-07-06 08:50 PM

My favourite - Morgan Plus 8. Old school style with V8 punch
