  1. If you're in their way then they have to leave the spot around you - they don't like that so they give you a bill to basically say that you obstructed them (for America at least, this is what I assume)

  2. You're correct, but mostly they're trying to piss you off. One time I put a not on my windshield saying that my car won't turn on and to not ticket me, but believe it or not he gave me a ticket. I think it pleases him to make people mad.

  4. So I decided to lift the hood just because I haven't seen the guts of her in a while :)

  12. New DiRT Rally YouTube video is out!
    This time on DiRT Rally, we take an MG Metro 6R4 and take it on a sprint on one of the Greek maps. With loose gravel and a short wheelbase meaning for snappy turns, this was a hard beast to tame, but you can see how I got on in the video below...

  14. That's a good one too - L0L is a pretty good ending 3 letters though :p Almost seems as if it's laughing at them because they haven't passed yet...

  16. I d.d. a Honda Insight, but I race/mod a Subaru SVX, or I would if the thing would stop breaking down.

    I've also owned 2 Subaru XT6s, Dodge Stealth, Escort ZX2.

    Here am some my carz:


    Very reliable, sold at 151k. Fantastic in the snow as long as hills are avoided.


    Owned since 2002, holding at 146k. Been in 3 accidents (none my fault). About 40% of the car has been replaced or repaired.


    Goes 420 miles on $30. 51k and climbing. My first non-coupe ever. The Silverado belongs to my friend.

    I like lotsa different cars. I drove an 04 Chevy Workhorse for 3 years at my previous job. Currently I have job access to an 05 Chevy Express 3500.

  17. Wow, you've had quite the experience with cars! That Honda has a lot of mile per buck, very good for when you aren't racing your Subaru SVX... Speaking of which, your SVX looks awesome, even after three accidents in her! You don't see SVXs here in England, but they sure do look nice! :)

    Your Escorts are a lot different too, ours were totally different, I can't believe that they were even branded with the same name :confused: Anyway, thank you very much for sharing, I enjoyed reading about your car experience! :D

  19. I'm not sure if I like the look of that one, it feels too low down and the wheels are way too big/tyres too small :p

    EDIT: But, each to their own ;)

  20. It's a rendered/modified version of a '60 Bentley Continental. Wheels are too big, I agree. The roof is chopped (hence the low down feel) and it's way lower to the ground xD
