I hope they're all ok, I know they weren't hit but they must have been pretty shocked. I agree, there should be cameras on all road crossings

:o Blimey, that's different !!!! Bet you have lots of people do double takes.

I'm really not firing on all cylinders this morning, I thought we had a new member at first <D'oh> Happy Birthday LOC ! When can I have my jelly and ice cream and pick up my party bag?!

On the plus side, maybe we'll get sent tickets for the show?!?!

A police officer pulls a bloke over for speeding and has the following exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's license? Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended for exceeding the speed limit. Officer: May I see the registration for this vehicle? Driver: It's not my car. I stole it. Officer: The car is stolen? Driver: That's right. But come to think of it, I think I saw the registration in the glove box when I was putting my gun in there. Officer: There's a gun in the glove box? Driver: Yes mate. That's where I put it after I shot and killed the woman who owns this car and stuffed her in the boot. Officer: There's a BODY in the BOOT?!?!? Driver: Yes, mate. Hearing this, the officer immediately called his back-up. The car was quickly surrounded by police, and the captain approached the driver to handle the tense situation: Captain: Sir, can I see your license? Driver: Sure. Here it is. (It was valid.) Captain: Whose car is this? Driver: It's mine, officer. Here's the registration papers. (The driver owned the car) Captain: Could you slowly open your glove box so I can see if there's a gun in it? Driver: Yes, sir, but there's no gun in it. (Sure enough, there was nothing in the glove box) Captain: Would you mind opening your boot? I was told you said there's a body in it. Driver: No problem. (Boot is opened - no body) Captain: I don't understand it. The officer who stopped you said you told him you didn't have a license, stole the car, had a gun in the glove box, and that there was a dead body in the boot. Driver: Yeah, I'll bet the lying b@#%$*d told you I was speeding, as well.

Well that's ok then Perhaps I should watch the programme before commenting

Very nice B)

If the fool doesn't want his kids photographed, why not leave them inside. Why juggle with a wriggly 9 month old whilst looking as though you are suffocating them with a towel. They're going to grow up reeeeaaaalllly well adjusted!

Haven't seen it yet, video'd it. How can anyone say the IS200 is seriously uncool :o Even those not fans of Lexus seem to like the looks at the very least. Me'thinks Lexus haven't been very 'co-operative' with Top Gear in the past perhaps :duh:

Just emailed and suggested a Vauxhall Vectra may be more suitable for our friend Alan Partridge !!!! I've emailed Top Gear asking for tickets for us to come and see the show being recorded. I'll try again and see if I get any answer this time ! Worth noting though, if I'm successful, Gold members get first refusal.... :D

We'd heard the rumours Matt :P

I've just done 25,000 miles in mine and am still on the first set of tyres. They'll need replacing in another 1000 miles looking at them... ;)

Thanks for the hint on the blades, it's been driving me nuts over the last couple of days :duh:

All reassuring stuff. We've definitely gone for the right cars

Right then Mr Skippy, someone has to fund all those mods on your car....if you U2U me your email address, can I get my brother to send you his CV direct?! :D He takes after his big sister and would make anyone an ideal employee It's that or selling him into slavery.....

I'm sending the link to my brother as it's just the sort of thing he'd be interested in. He's only been out of Uni a year so it'd also be more money for him (wonder if I can claim commission if he applied and got it?!) My ideal job would be a Director of any large organisation that would pay me a fortune and not expect me to work for it

The sport is slightly lower and does look quite sporty - it depends what you are after really. It may be cheaper for you to get an SE and tint the windows, add a lip spoiler etc as and when you can afford it. Some of the guys here have added an HKS exhaust etc and that looks really good.

I'm just a short a*se, so am glad the seats go up as well as down!!!

Really impressive - it'll be good to see them at one of the next meets :)

Emails. Monitored?? Er, um, er, yes of course there's a place for the monarchy. <nervous laughter>

Or more specifically, a blue IS200 .... <_<

Marketing Manager for an IT company (surprise, surprise!). I work a minimum of 35 hours, but if it's busy that flies out of the window until the jobs get done

Surely a loaded question Steve?! :P

I salute you Sah ! Another startling initiative...how's about spending road tax on the roads

How exactly are they going to reinforce the congestion charges? I heard on the radio that you can buy a voucher from shops etc at any stage of your journey in/around London. What's to stop people, if they get stopped, saying 'er, sorry, just one my way to buy a voucher' ...??
