Just rx'd an email that confirmed I had won a Â£100 Amazon voucher - result.

That's MW3 and Battlefield 3 (PC versions), Snuff by Terry Pratchett, Manhattan in Reverse by Peter F Hamilton, and Reamde by Neal Stephenson ordered and paid for.

It wasn't a competition, Gary (I very rarely enter competitions).

Here she is a year ago. Anybody guess where?

BTW the wheels are Compomotive Motorsport units. Once she's up and out again I'll start / resurrect a thread on members cars.

Cornwall?

Similar bodykit to my old MG Metro Turbo, top speed was only around 90mph with its 4 speed gearbox but getting there was a different story, never found anything which could pass me, I even managed to beat some motorbikes

Gary L · 17-10-2011, 21:07

I saw a Metro the other week. weird looking things they are. they look a lot smaller than they used to be.

probably because I've grown bigger

After a very long day, having a large Carlsberg Special - but not as we know it; it's like a North German Alt Beer (darker and hoppier than a normal lager).
