anyway back on track i hate front wheel drive cars who's owners seem to think the need lots of spoilers on the back(yep chavs) hello it's front wheel drive even if the little 1100cc engine with ten 5" exhausts was remotly quick its front wheel drive you moose twit the down force is usless back there go back to school and lean about phisics ;D (i know i need to go back to skool and learn how to spell but at least the downforce on my car is in the right place ;D ;D ;D) Sorry to burst your bubble Nightmare but spoilers DO have a use on FWD. The back end of FWD tend to "float" at higher speeds, 80-100kmh and above. All the downforce/weight is on the front. Try controlling a car at 100 with the only traction on the front two corners

I hate timewaster's when your selling cars! For gods sake the last one I had came around had a good look at the car, got me to show him around anything and then said "he might come back in a few months time if he passes his test"!
F**K right off, don't waste my time, if your not interested don't come and look at it!

Try controlling a car at 100 with the only traction on the front two corners Ha ha - I was wondering whether the builders of the race cars in the British Touring Car Championship (most of which are FWD) Were going to have to go back to school learn Physics - since they run various spoilers and splitters ;D I know what NightmaresRacing means though about cars that just simply don't have the performance to warrant the aerodynamic 'enhancements' that have been added by their unwitting owners - and in fact these spoilers and skirts etc only reduce the car's performance by adding weight and increasing drag. However my Integra which not only is FWD, also has a big 'wing' on the back - its actually amazing the stabilizing effect the spoiler has at high speed (having taken it once to repair a chip in it)

People who drive when they've had a few "drinks". That really makes my curse word boil. This can be the only excuse of the F*cking wasterel I encountered this evening. Wobbled (!) out of the petrol station into his 1-series BMW, then proceeded to drive up the slip road onto the motorway at 18mph straddling both lanes without any lights on. King curse word! Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a nice Stella like the rest of 'em, but why do people think that if they can't even walk in a straight line they are in full enough control of their faculties to drive a car. Get someone else to drive. Get the train. Get a taxi. Get a life, curse word up silly-billies!!!!

Yeah drink drivers really get to me too . Problem is more often than not they kill innocent people - I wouldn't mind so much if they just removed themselves from the gene pool! Almost as irritating is people who try to get you to have a drink even though they know you're driving. Some drivelling moron saying "one won't hurt will it?" Well, it will if I glass you with it... Personally, if I'm driving then I don't drink at all.

You're right there there's no excuse for drink driving at all, no matter whether it's one pint or eight, DRUNK DRIVING IS A F*CKING STUPID IRRESPONSIBLE THING TO DO!! These guys who do it need long jail sentences, and I mean long, not getting out in a few months for good behaviour, and car confiscation, permanant bans from driving even, that might teach them not to behave like stupid pr*cks, and even then all that wouldn't make up for them taking someone innocent's life!

Drink driving is selfish. My cousin has just lost his licence for the second time because of drink driving and I don't think he deserves to get it back!
