Shake me up Judy Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 There have been more accidents on the mountain road since Howard proudly announced the end of the temporary speed limit. Go figure. It was like lowering the start flag. This phrase 'lack of talent' is really working too isn't it. All it does is raise the game. FFS stop using it. Can't you see that the boy racers are trying to measure themselves against it... 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 25 now since, by my reckoning going on Police/news reports and obvious incident marks on roads and verges. Including one which was almost a head on into me at Brandywell two weeks ago. The dicks need protecting from themselves, they're not fit to be on the roads. And everybody else needs protecting from the dicks. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back in the day when they fancied real policing they had the RS Cosworth up at the Bungalow or Windy Corner ready to have a go. Now it’s just a free for all and the chances of being caught are negligible which is why they run out of talent well before anyone picks them up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 The problem is dickheads who openly brag that they're going up there to hammer it. Good thing we don't have any of those on here eh? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
