No I don't agree Will automotive porn is never a waste of resources. I
would kill to drive that Kolos offroad I was watching a trial on cable and
they were hurtling round in those bad boys bouncing off trees incredible.

You wanna hear it, **** me sideways it's noisy. The exhaust even has big letters 'OFF ROAD USE ONLY'

If it was automotive porn, having all that **** material followed by a
cheap caravan is like being caught in the bath with Playboy by your
mum!

That'll help us fight past the NERC bill then!

Ian, at any time did I say i was going to use this bike in any kind of anti social way? I have no
intention of doing such a stupid thing. I take a little bit of offence at your insinuation to be honest.
It will be used in a legal, sensible manner with no detriment to any kind of bobble hat brigade. Have a
go at the retards that introduced the bill, not folk like me, who will be using a loud bike legally. I
had to start the thing to set it up, took around 15 seconds. Before i did start it up, i spoke to thye
neighbours, do you do that every time you start your car etc?

Your one liner knee jerk reply made you look more like a bobble hat than a real bobble hat! Come on mate,
live & let live. thats exactly why we are in such a situation as we are, most ****ers wont do that & we
get legislation we (or anyone for that matter) dont need.

I have to say, i will probably replace the exhaust as it is a bit loud for me, as i dont see the need for
such noise.

I wouldn't mind getting my mitt's on a scout car and having it painted up in
Battenburg livery for a giggle, then park it in the works car park. Should
raise a few eyebrows on the top floor.

Heh, don't worry, it's more to do with off-road bikes being sold in
that kind of state that gets me, you'd think that sellers might try to
help keep the market for the bikes buoyant by avoiding them being so
damned loud in the first place. It's hard not to be anti-social on
ear-breakingly loud bikes.

As for the bobble-hats, just riding it's enough, I was out on a photo
trip some time ago and a pair of bobbles walked past, at the same time
as a motorcyclist was coming the other way. He slowed down to a
gentle jogging pace but they were still making signs at him to slow
down. Lane was wide enough for two landies side-by-side.

No I don't, and I don't tell them every time I'm going to drive across
their drive (access to the back of my house is via a RoW over their
driveway), considering that at 7:00 AM *every* morning my neighbour is
out sweeping the damned drive, I'm surprised they've not moaned yet!
It's not mucky, but every morning, 7:00 AM on the dot, sweep sweep.
Quite scary actually.

No it bloody well isn't! FFS! I don't even want to waste any more time with
this site despite seeing from the other replies that it is about my
favourite vehicle.

Don't worry, I've not bought playboy or owt like that since my teenage
years, where I was the one who was sent into the garage to buy it as
everyone else broke under the strain! ISTR Penthouse being the mag of
choice back then.

I get a bit of amusement gently taking the mick out of the young lads
that come into our shop buying them. Watch them all having their
council of war to decide who's going to have to go into the shop, and
then when the unlucky one walks thru the door I hand him what he wants
without him asking and watch him go red and start to stutter and splutter.

Give him a copy of play*girl* next time, I'll bet he'll be outside the
door before he notices!

I have access to CGI and compositing software, so, given a good
photograph and details of the lighting, you could have anything you like
in the carpark.

There is an extremely nice, and free, model of a Shelby Cobra on my hard
drive, and a pretty decent Series II. Or you could try for a giant
robot, a Jagdpanther, even something from Star Wars or Trek...

Do you know how to get a light-probe image?

You might appreciate the last few days of User Friendly. But, as Erwin
points out, it takes a long time to do a search-and-replace on the whole
Internet.

indeed - anyone who can see that site right off without modifying their
config may as well post a note at the local black-hat chapter (junior
section) with their IP and admin/root pw.

Just what I was thinking.

BTW, in your sig., is that a reference to The Prisoner or Danger Mouse?
(or both?)
