Wee, That Was Fun!

[Baldric]

Just been out for a couple of hours, haven't used the VRs for about 10 days, so took it for a run down to Dover, The dual carriageway was quiet so gave it a blast, I don't know about the claimed top-speed (155) yet, but I got 142 on the clock before I had to back off, we'll see what it can do proper after the Easter w/end.
;o)

When the signs say "Speed Cameras Ahead" they mean it, and they're active.

[Baldric]

I'll bear it in mind, thanks

[Psybbo]

and there was me thinking you were a buccaneer type :-)

[Baldric]

I've had my moments, I like to think I've matured now into a 'Grumpy Old Man' with tongue firmly in cheek of course (can I say that on here?)

[pixie373]

Yes. Depends whose cheek ;-)

[Psybbo]

I do wish that program would come back, updated

[tonyav]

What program is that, Psybbo.

[Baldric]

Hi pixie, a gentleman never tells!

[tonyav]

Oh yes, I have watched that in the past.

[pixie373]

Lol!

[boxtops]

I've just seen the headline in our local rag "Baldric arrested rushing to get to Dover", LOL.

[Baldric]

Ah, come-on Boxy, be fair, that would be rushing to leave Dover!
;-)

[boxtops]

Dear me, dear me - if you actually live here, it's got a lot going for it (if people can be bothered to look for it) :-)

I once cruised down the M5 at 147mph in my Range Rover Vogue. I glanced at the clock and it gave me a real fright, I knew I was speeding but no idea I was going that fast!

I got away with it thankfully!

The engine was purring beautifully and smoothly.

[boxtops]

I had a friend some years ago who phoned me to say they were leaving Bristol at noon - they pulled up outside my house in Dover at 2pm. Lucky, or daft...?

[Baldric]

Even when we lived up at St Margarets at Cliffe we rarely used Dover town centre, tried a few of the Pubs, found them to be quite insular, and dare I say, downmarket. I guess it's like anywhere, you need to know it to like it.

[Baldric]

Bristol to Dover, Kent, UK approx. 200 miles in 2 hrs, unbelievable!!

[RATTER15]

Boxy, I think you will find they left a lot earlier and phoned you on route. a 200 mile trip in two hours would be pretty much impossible in the dead of night let alone mid day.

[Svejk]

do any of you consider the consequences of having an accident at these speeds (for other people, I mean)
