    Pet Peeves

    As Senior R And D Engineer at Jaguar, I have to make decisions which MAKE those compromises I'm afraid.... The nice side is that I know enough technically and understand, so - the first car I ever bought-when I was 17 -way back in 1990, a very skittish and wayward 1970s BMW 323i, gets...

    Pet Peeves

    Ice, I have a 1995 Porsche 911 (993 type) Turbo I just bought 3 weeks ago and I also have a 1987 Porsche 928 S4 manual. I've owned the 928 for almost 7 years now and its soon to be up for sale, its been a trusty old shire horse. I'll be sad to see it go. I also have old cars I've owned for...

    Pet Peeves

    Rap and dance music does my head in, along with "rude boy" hotted up Vauxhall Novas and/or Citroen Saxos with loud stereos blarring out with kids with shaved heads driving thinking they're cool. I guess the equivalent in the US is rice rockets. Its nice to blast past them in the Porsche!

    Where Do You Stand Politically?

    Lots of threads recently on politics in other forums, almost on the verge of starting "flame wars". I expect better from you people :p. So where do YOU stand? There are too many generalisations in politics into the narrow catogaries of "the Left" and "the Right". This site further sub...

    What would better your life?

    Living/emigrating to America would make my life better, obviously still doing what I am doing career wise. I've given this much thought, and this isn't "grass is always greener" as I've done assignments there and go on holiday there every year. I like the people in general and attitudes.It...

    In an alternate universe...

    Most people these days are familiar with the concept of a parallel universe. It has been theorised that every quantum possibility or reality that CAN occur DOES-thus forming parallel universes or quantum realities, perhaps seperated by a single event which made the universes diverge. Without...

    Intelligent sci-fi

    My favourite is a story I read when I was only 15 (16 years ago!) and it redefined the way I look at the world. More of a satirical Sci Fi book, but a sure fire classic nonetheless! "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, originally written in 1932 I believe! Quite unconventional....

    The "Death" Thread

    Ever been asked whether you'd rather burn out or fade away? To me there's nothing more romantic then dying in a blaze of glory! Going down for a lost cause perhaps, a glorious lost cause.... What is your favourite death scene in a film or series or general TV? My favourite is the death of...
