Well it keeps the chavs/boy racers happy I suppose. Looks like a waste of £40 imo but hey what do I know ?????

Yeah but I'm on about Fiats, Alfa's, Maseratis & maybe even Lambos but not Ferrari's :cheeky:.

Its not all bad, one less Ferrari on the road. I'm not complaining :thumbsup:.

Actually I am looking forward to the 'gashboard' lol. Well I will if EA release a NHL 09 jersey pack so my avator will wear a Calgary Flames hockey jersey :thumbsup:. It will look cool :).

TBH it can be no worst than having Gordon Brown has the country's leader could it ?????? Anyway its all about Barrack Obama for president. John McCain is one of Bush's lot, so like in this country the Yanks have had enough of the current regime and a change is needed. Democrats FTW :thumbsup:.

I saw this ad last night and I was freaked :confused:. I mean animals who have the characteristics of humans dancing, thats just plain weird ..................

One of the reasons why I hate ITV's F1 coverage soo much :mad:.

Thats like me, I have a WELSH surname, I'm 1/8 Irish and somewhere along the line I have Scottish relatives.

Holds some truth ........... They are some of the best looking cars in the world, the interiors despite what people say are luxurious (leather, soft touch plastics & overall a very European style interior!) So no not Nugget worthy lol :cheeky:.

BRITISH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Personally I say I am British because I have a British passport, I am a British national, I haven't got an English passport or anything else for that matter that says I am English. Although in 10 years time I hope to be a Canadian citizen :).

No offense Diablo but why is it when there is a Scottish band/person/thing all the Scots go mad with excitement like its the best thing in the world ?????? Is it to prove to the Brits that you are good enough to survive on your own and you don't need to be part of the union lol :cheeky: ??????? Anyway thats a decent song :).

I'm up for a cruise sometime but I'm on nights all this week but I should be free on Saturday night.

MASSA = LEGEND :thumbsup:. Legendary start, he didn't mess about, put Hamilton into place and showed him up. Puncture for Lewis, I'm not gonna lie I liked what I saw :cheeky:. Kimi seemed to be going for it in the last stint but a little too late imo :o. Gutted for Massa at the end, but hey my main man Kimi is on the podium so I'm not complaining :D.

^^^^ Interesting read :). I still wanna see it myself, I wanna expereince it myself, no matter how much stuff I read it won't change my mind but kudo's to Microsoft for taking the 'next step'. Interesting thing about Microsoft regarding Europe as the 'North star' when it comes to gaming :confused:.

Yeah why not, I could do with atleast another member, its a lonely association :o.

Yeah I also think it was because of the poor attendance at the NEC show's but I'm still saying the NEC shows were much better, more manufacturers, bigger stands, overall much more to do and its like a 20 minute motorway journey from my house. Brum is perfect its in the centre of the UK (pretty much), Birmingham International train station is like 5 min walk, Birmingham International Airport is like a 5 minute walk, the motorway system is pretty damn close and overall its in much more user friendly place what I mean by that it is pretty easy for everyone to get there :). Anyway it was alright, I didn't get bags & bags of free stuff like previous shows though (I only got 2 bags and thats because I had to pay for the guide and Top gear magazine !) but I got to sit in loads of cars like the MiTo (its official I love it :)!), Insignia, CTS, STS, SRX, BLS, VXR8, 9-3, 9-5, Pro Cee'd (thats nice !) and loads of other cars :). I also got to look at the Corvette ZR1, ZO6 and C6 convertable :thumbsup:.

WTF you can get on a building site without qualifications but I can't and I have qualifications :cry: ??????????????? Anyway I do a couple of things in life: Proffesional Calgary Flames & LA Kings Hockey fan/NHL fan. I defend American cars and take crap from Eurosnobs (its an hard job but hey I like it !) Chairman of the 'Lewis Hamilton is not God' Association. Yeah, I know great jobs :D !!!!!!!

I went :thumbsup:. NEC shows were much better imo, I'm not just saying it because I come from the Birmingham area but its true, much smaller than I expected :confused:. Anyway I sat in pretty much all the Vauxhalls, Saab's, Caddies & Chevy's (see the pattern ???????) loved the Alfa Romeo MiTo, Isingnia, CTS, and loads of other cars, I got to drive a Land Rover Freelander on a mini offroad course, I took loads of pics about 60 to be percise but I used my SE C902 and they don't look that good on the phone so I probably will upload the best tommorow sometime. Anyway I will just like to say while I am here that in every Cadillac I sat in the interior was very well designed, didn't look cheap, definently well upto European standards (I don't care what people say I was more than impressed to the point that I will say Cadillac were the best cars there !) and I swear if anybody criticises Cadillac again I will be more than happy to point them to the nearest Cadillac showroom in their area and tell them to sit in a car and admire the very well designed 'european finish' interior :thumbsup:. Overall very good but it needs to be back in Brum, excel has nothing on the NEC imo in terms of space, layout and ok parking is better but thats about it ;). BTW the M25 is the worst motorway ever :mad:, but I managed to crack 50mpg in my car while driving there and back so not all bad news :thumbsup: !!!!!!!

Gutted :( !!!!!!!!!!!! I will take my license anyway but I probably want need it because all I am gonna do is walk around take some pics and generally have fun. BTW was there loads of people there ???????

I'm going tommorow :thumbsup: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Day off, I am gonna set off at around 6:30am plan to get there for 9 ish and spend a good 6-8 hours looking/taking pictures of the cars and also I plan to goto the Mada Zoom Zoom challenge thingy and drive an MX-5 :thumbsup:. I'm definently gonna pay the most attention to the MiTo, Insignia, CTS, Saab 9-4X, All the Corvette's & loads of other cars that take my fancy :cheeky:.

Isn't LA on the 'San Andreas Fault' ???????? Or something like that anyway ....... I hope everybody is ok in LA, what with wild fires and earthquakes jeez you guys have got it bad ................

See I'm not bothered that Aston Martin or Ferrari aren't there after all I will never be able to afford one so thats why I am happy with Vauxhall, Saab, Peugeot and all of the other mainstream brands there :thumbsup:.

I'm going next saturday or sunday :thumbsup:. Should be good, although whether or not its worth the trip down to London and back is debatable.

I liked the fact that all through the weekdays over the last 3 weeks ITV had no live Tour De France coverage yet when there is some motor racing on they show live Tour De France, great work ITV although I'm not surprised :rolleyes:. Anyway I only watched 10 mins or so of the first race and as usual some pretty good racing, not as good has DTM was an hour ago though :).

---- Work are peeing me off :mad:. ++++ I'm gonna ask for a week's unpaid holiday tommorow to see if I can cool down and relax. ---- Few things in life at the moment are dragging me down :sulk:. ---- Life's crap :sulk:. Joy, Joy :rolleyes:.
