Oh yeah, LOL!

we're defo going to change the name, shortly I should think.

Driving Tales has been suggested.
We'll put up a little sticky saying no OTT road racing stories too I think.

"Tarmac Tales"

None of that 'wikkid' language please!

[Fizzy]

argue this - who is more of a risk....a 17 yr old in his 1.3 gt with 4 mates in doing 70 through town on a friday night or me, down the m68 at 3 in the morning racing a mate at 150 mph (and NO...I dont actually do this!)...if you look in the papers you wont see many of the latter. Point made?

Driving Stiles would be good. How about "Midship Runabouts" ?

or "Driving Stiles and Midship Runabouts"

[ENSMR2]

Call it "Thunder Road" lol

Has any one actually been to "proper" street races. Silly stuff really. I was taken to a few in the states a year or so ago. Pretty big money changes hands upwards of $300. Very dangerous.

Driving Tales sounds like the best option as a new title for the section.

OK all have a look at new title and guidelines, if everyone is happy am going to lock this thread in a day or two.

Which is more dangerous, jumping off a 40 storey building or jumping off a 50 storey building? Point made?

I used to live in Germany and can tell you that high speed accidents are common on the autobahns where your overtaken like you standing still when your doing 90mph! And at high speeds people dont walk away. 150mph can never be safe even on an empty motorway at 3am. What if a deer for example runs out infront of you? Your reaction will be to swerve and at that speed youll be dead. What a waste.

I was thinking along the lines of a tyre blow-out, but you've beat me to it with your example.
