It's not about the top half of the rev-range it's about the bottom half.

Basically at 45mph (1200rpm) I floor the throttle in 7th gear and a 200bhp car is gonna need to be 3rd if not 2nd to keep up. And the big engine will do that while consuming less fuel. If you don't understand why that's appealing then you'll never get why people like these high capacity engines, especially the turbocharged ones.


Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, having big low end torque would be hugely entertaining but now we've gone from having enough power for quick and safe overtakes to being able to blitz people. Laughing

25mm would be a bloody thick letter though!

Sure it's just annoying when you send a big f'ing parcel and it's £3.95, then a small jiffy bag costs the same.

Honestly having >500Nm and 400bhp isn't actually that much fun, it's just ludicrously easy to drive. My latest car is much harder to drive, but far more entertaining.

These stupid "Black Friday Deals". Having looked at a couple online, I've found they are normally available same price or better.

What a swiz.

Yeah, I know, as I've been home sick today I had a look at Amazon, found they had dropped the price of printer ink but they did that a few months ago. Same with the kindle fire 7inch, found nothing worth buying at all. Besides give it a few weeks and the prices will be down again and possibly even cheaper than now..

I'm waiting for the kindle fire 10inch to drop to 100 squid.....

Someoine posted this price tracker on here for Amazon. It's good and shows basically they are as bad as the sofa people for bigging up deals that aren't really that good.

The "gentle morning breeze" that usually only exerts itself enough to sway my nets and the windchime in a pleasing way ... just wafted my bloody-half-rolled-bloody-spliff into the fucking rubbish bin.

I left it on the desk for one second, so I could remove the cat from my keyboard and prevent her sending you a garbled message with her feet (all three of them, bastard raspberry bastard cat).

Jehovas Witness's.

I suspect I am on the "we will convert him" list.

2 last night and 2 this morning knocking on the door, I am going to start answering the door naked while wanking at them.

I'm expecting a package on Monday...

Just got an email from Hermes saying my package has been delivered along with a photo of where it was left.

Did the driver ring the doorbell? NO, knock on the door? NO... just dumped, took a photo and fucked off.

I really hate Hermes, such a mickey mouse delivery service.

Yep, I've found parcels the next day they've left somewhere outside Mad

I've been told that if you ask them not to call any more then they'll take you off the list. Not sure if you have to contact the local Kingdom Hall for that or just let the callers know. Evangelists are annoying.

They stopped knocking on my door after I chatted up the prettiest women in their gang. I didn't care if she was married etc I just acted being a total creep and they've taken me off their list (or added me to a perv list!)

I used to say please don't call again. That didn't seem to work.

The last time they knocked, I asked them very politely that when they return to their Kingdom Hall they notify their elders, and everyone that I do not wish anyone representing J.W's to knock on my door or contact me ever again for any reason whatsoever.

It worked. Thumbs Up
