[/quote]That's focall, my dadsfantic chopper had a turbo and nitrous  oxide and he fitted the gearbox out of a Massey furgesen tractor to handle the power, it could do 120 in first backwards, it was so fast in top he had to fit tile's from the space shuttle to his helmet to stop the friction from frying his eyeballs, the police once tried to prosecute him for speeding but when the finally caught up with him they found he had got home before he started
Now that's sick

Anyway on a different note, can a person’s race indicate their level of intelligence?

Only if they've put it on their Harley

That's fighting talk where I come from Tommy . . . just as well I moved, that and the fact that I'm a coward.

[tommyardin]

Now there's a topic of conversation:
What is a coward?


Some imagine it is a man who backs away from trouble and doesn't want to fight, I personally think if you can walk away (sometimes you can't) it is the sensible thing to do.


A coward and bully can very often be the same person, because both pick on someone they are 95% sure that they can get the better of.
It seems then that a coward and a bully are the exact opposite to a Hero


I think that when the chips are really down and in a life threatening situation that is when true hero's come to the fore, that is also when a true coward and a bully usually back away.


The person who puts his or her life on the line for others are very often the quiet ones in life, they are also the people that look past their own interests and are concerned for others to the point that it can cost themselves dearly.


We saw it during 9-11, the insignificant little person doing paper shuffling in a office back room become a true hero when the towers fell, because he or she led others to safety not thinking of their own safety but that of others.
I imagine that there were hero's on Westminster Bridge the day the car ran amok killing and injuring those people, you know the quiet ones often who tend to others and will often just vanish when the emergency services turn up.


I would imagine your average bully would not put themselves at risk because that is what they are cowards.
So walking away in some situations is cowardly, but at times its the right thing to do.
I have a mate that some 40 years ago now was being picked on by a guy and 5 of his mates at a disco one Saturday night, and as Billy did not respond to these guys taunting's it got worse, they probably thought he is not going to respond so we are not at risk and they upped the piss taking and pushing, there were 3 of us and Billy said to us leave it as he did not want to get involved.


I don't know what was said but one of the guys leant over Billy's shoulder and said something in his ear, Billy was at the bar facing the counter, I can picture it today as if it was just happening, Billy spun around like he had been hit by 10,000 volts and cracked this guy in the face so hard I can still hear the sound of the single punch landing, the police were called the guy was ambulanced away and Billy arrested, none of our pleas to the police made any difference. Billy was let out of the police cell about 3 pm the following day after police had taken witness statements from the bar staff and others at the disco.
We were told that the guy had to have his face wired up because Billy had broken his jaw and his upper cheek and had split his head open when he hit the floor and skidded about 15 feet across the dance floor.
Still to this day I don't know what the guy said to Billy and he will not say. I just hope I never say what it was he said. lol.
Billy is a tough guy and that is why these guys were giving him a hard time, reputation building I guess.

Theres a twat in our town how's always giving it large, focin idiot got right under my skin, I won't slap him (don't need the trouble with the law) but I did yank him off his barstool a couple of weeks ago when he lent into me, his face was a picture, I didn't do anything was all he kept repeating, stares at the floor when he see's me in the street now. Suits me tbh.

Good move Joe, I like it, the twat was no hero just a mouth firing blanks.


Some one once said to me and I quote 'Some guys are like ducks that fart under water, there is lots of noise but absolutely no substance'

You cucking funts! God bless the cowards!  :finger

I am one sad tommyardin today :'(


Yesterday on my way back from Gosport in Hampshire (Collecting a marine Autohelm) my MR2 threw a con rod through the side of the engine, causing catastrophic failure, lots of blue smoke and 5 litres of semi synthetic oil scattered over 150 yards of the A3M.


My mechanic said we are looking at about £2.5 to £3K to get it back on the road with a secondhand lump, and even then no real guarantee on the S/H engine.


So I have put the old girl on Ebay tonight, the auction comes alive at 19:30 BST.
If you take a look you will see just some of the work my mechanic has done on the car for me.


I am FUCKING GUTTED. I love that little hairdressers motor, its not an unusual thing to happen to them around 100K miles, there are a couple of real weaknesses in that Toyota engine, its eager and quick off the mark, high revving but as said earlier there is an issue or two with them because of the American market and California's anti pollution regulations. The MR2 has 3 catalytic converters, one cat in the main silencer box and two cats in the exhaust manifold (Pre Cats) and coupled with an engine that re-breaths exhaust gases to help with pollution, its a disaster waiting to happen and it just fucking did, yesterday.
Now I am going to bed and cry for a week  :'(

The link to my eBay sale/auction, It comes alive at 19:30 BST
I am not going to but another MR2 cos they are like stunning women they will break your heart sooner or later.
the first picture is the trail of oil that I left behind about 150 yards long (80 mph) the second speaks for its self.

[taylor]

gutted for you tommy,  try a bit of gripfill

[celticdog]

Deepest sympathies Tommy, my condolences on the sad passing of your car.    What's the verdict with the post mortem- maybe a heart attack (Oil pump failure causing starvation?)
Anyway if you're having a wake, sandwiches and Beer I believe is the traditional fare. 

[tommyardin]

Thanks for the advice Taylor :lol [size=1em]it worked a treat, runs as sweet as a nut now, did have to pop a little grilla grip on the con rod ends though, i had it up to 125 and she going like a bird[/size]


[size=1em]Now the truth for you my friend [/size] :finger [size=1em]fuck off lol[/size]

Lets just skip the sandwiches lol  :thumbup  I understand that the correct attire to wear with the passing of an MR2 is a flip skirt and hair rollers.


Oil pump going is not likely to cause a rod to break, there was no momentary seize, no warning lights and judging by the oil scattered up the A3M and the oil on my mate Wildplum's trailer when we got back it was not a shortage of oil.
I topped the oil up about last Thursday took about 1/3 of a litre.


Seems to be a lot of interest on eBay, 47 views and 9 watching, plus someone requested a phone number so they can arrange a viewing.
thanks for you kind words, not like that naughty ole Taylor taking the piss lol!  :thumbup
