finlo Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Most BMW's on the road are powered by tiny tractor engines, all show and no go. Some have a lowish powered diesel engine, but even those have far more hp than the car my 18 year old daughter drives, or the cars I drove at that age. I'm all for youngsters starting out with small, low powered cars and working their way up gradually over the years. That's what the insurers would seem to prefer too, judging by their premiums, and more than anyone they'd know about the relative risks of various cars. I agree, just pointing out that not all BMW's are M3's M5's etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 test aside, i think i was about 22 before i ever once pressed the accelerator to any position other than nearly through the floor. it may as well have been a digital on/off switch. incidentally, there were less cyclists around in those days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey boy Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 BMWs are shite and the people who drive them are gay. Well I guess with all the miles you've driven & ridden (more that everyone else on this forum put together) you get to know which make of cars suit you the best.

llap Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 It isn't just during fog that they cause mayhem. Even during perfect sunshine they manage to cause road rage. I've just had two fat arse cyclists going dead slow around the road while not able to pass them. Did they make any effort to move in to let me and the long line of traffic behind them past? Nope. Just kept cycling dead slow, even moving out nearer the middle of the road. Totally ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Report them to the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey boy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No point, I think you'll find their number plates are below regulation size so in your words they are "unidentifiable". Not much point in reporting two fat, inconsiderate cyclists on this island, it would take the police years to interview all the suspects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey boy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 My apologies, "impossible to trace" were your actual words. A bit like the distinction really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Well, despite what you say, I don't believe that the cyclists' registration plates were below regulation size. I think it's another of your lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey boy Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 You can just imagine the conversation in the pelaton this weekend, "Mr sausage jockey posted that he didn't believe that our registration plates were below regulation size, because you see bicycles don't have registration plate regulations and the nasty fellow who was complaining about cyclists posted something else so I posted whoosh because he didn't know cyclists don't have registration plates" "Oh Bobbie Bumchum, you are a card, chortle. Quick better spread out a bit there's a car behind us." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
