Next time you're driving at 7:15, turn the archers on and try singing the national anthem to the theme tune :D

I suppose in context of the thread it would matter if you were baritone or soprano, but hey we are easy going here :D

Drama Queen :D

I found myself doing 110 mph down the M60 in my friends Vauxhall Cavalier turbo and didn't realise but funnily enough wasn't listening to The Archers at the time :rolleyes:

There is nothing wrong with the Archers! It's just like emmerdale but without images.
Besides, Radio 4 has the now show and dead ringers :)

Driving at 150, on the phone..

Wasnt by chance also smoking & listening to the Archers at the same time?

Jeez, that would be one capable driver, especially since he would have been having an argument with the passenger & eating a sandwich at the same time....lol

Now in my laguna, 3000rpm was 90mph, so I knew if the sound gets near that, I'm speeding.
In my new car, first thing I noticed was at 3000rpm the car's doing 110mph!
Time to ease off and just let the engine idle :D
70 is about 2000rpm.

Has your Laguna not got Cruise Control. Usefull for doing 40 on dual carriageways around Stevenage and other new towns where you really could easily drive faster and also for ensuring you don't go over 85 (or whatever you choose) on a motorway.

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:52.
