Azarathal Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Does anyone know any decent wheel refurb places around the crowthorne/Bracknell/Wokingham area? Need my 3spokes refurbed before japfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 old news I like binky. I love the show, but I think I'm liking the end product less than I did at first. Fancy interior etc, amazing flip fronts, perfect panel gaps, it's all ultra cool. not my thing, but very very cool. Keeping 4 seats (seemingly the plan?) giving what looks like a hugely compromised driving experience due to a stupid seating position seems a little less cool though. Accept it's a 2 seater, move the seats and column back a little, make it a properly good car to drive rather than a novelty. Rant over. I'm just angry because I'll have to wait months for Ep10! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Silly willy. Why does video footage always make shit look slower/less intense. ABS ABS'd to absolute f**k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 You were going a little fast there yourself to be honest...didn't slow down for the roundabout at all either. I'm sure you probably had good sight of the road to the right but you could have been about 5-10mph slower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 and to be fair, from 3 seconds in you can see that he's going to pull out.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah it's massively open, nothing was coming so why would I slow down to see that there was already nothing coming. Definitely not going too fast at all and that's not me being obnoxious,its a 50mph Road. Or in fact I think it's national speed limit.

MartMini Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 you slow down so that when knobs in corsa's pull out infront of you, you dont smash your precious Clio into the back of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Usually when I see something on a roundabout coming towards me I don't pull out at all until it's gone past me. Absolute arse of a driver. Edited May 5, 2015 by dann2707 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) and to be fair, from 3 seconds in you can see that he's going to pull out.... Yeah but if you look at it as if you were driving in Dans clio, you'd probably not slow down because you think "I have right of way" and as you can see from the moment he does start to pull out properly Dan is on the brakes straight up. Oh and the Corsa even pulls across to his lane straight away!! What a f**king twat. Edited May 6, 2015 by Jake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Do you guys not drive with the attitude that "virtually everyone else is a retard and should be treated as such" then? Seriously, just accept that most people on the roads are idiots and drive accordingly by pre-empting this sort of shit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Exactly that, if I see someone so much as approach a junction on a side road, I'm ready and expecting them every time to pull out because everyone else on the road is a special breed. And having actually just watched that video you could see some time before you hit the brakes what was about to occur that's the second video you've put up that highlights that you're pretty useless on the road I am literally the only person in the world capable of driving to an acceptable standard. Related, Australian drivers are like the worst UK drivers and worse, all of them, all genuinely dangerously unaware of anything going on around them. Pair that with the green lights to turn corners coinciding with the green man on the street you're turning onto, I'm surprised I haven't witnessed anyone getting smashed to pieces yet! Nobody lets anyone merge, everyone drives an inch away from the car in front, saw a 6 car pile-up in a 60kmh (36mph) zone the other day because everyone drives like a twat, it's insane!

Oh and the Corsa even pulls across to his lane straight away!! What a f**king twat. Every time i look at the video i see this: 0:03 - the point at which you clearly see the guy's going to pull out 0:06 - dan stamping on the brakes. thats 3 seconds he could have been braking earlier. Yes dan has right of way, yes, the bloke shouldnt have pulled out. I still would have braked earlier. it's better to give way to someone who's driving like a dick than wrap your car up..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Unfortunately, driving has nothing to do with speed limits and right of way. You should have seen that douchebag pulling out and been going a bit slower. I know technically you shouldn't have had to, but you need to allow for idiots that share our roads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I feel it's been far too long since I spammed this thread with repeated images of the same car from a thousand slightly different angles. It seems that Jardo and Dan have ruined the excitement of that one for us all However, Robin came over at the weekend, and we stuck yet more building materials to my car So to celebrate, here's some random spam In other news, Jardo has asked me for a drag race, on the, erm, air field. That'll be a laugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 In other news, Jardo has asked me for a drag race, on the, erm, air field. That'll be a laugh It's not that I think the Golf will be faster, but it will be interesting to see how much slower it is. Everyone has always said that your car feels slow but really isn't, and everybody says that my car feels fast but isn't. So it will be fun to see how far from meeting in the middle those two opinions are. In all seriousness I think we could actually get on Lasham airfield for this on a Sunday or a late night. Quite often the gate is only closed rather than locked, and I've got a friend at the gliding club that might give me the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prawny Baby Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Lines on the rear plate are zip ties Dan. Haha. Plate holder broke 18 months ago and I zip tied it in. Been that way ever since J-rod - I'm only messing. I do think mine will be faster. But there won't be much in it I wouldn't think. Golf is surprisingly rapid!
