Morgan AeroMax
Not sure whether to love or hate this, i've always loved Morgans for keeping thier look through the years (like Sevens) but this modern take on it, i'm not so sure, that rear end reminds me of a 911 and I really hope those aren't blue headlights, despise those things.
Wow, I sound like a grumpy git don't I, I do prefer the older Morgans definitely, still this is refreshing.

Oh shut up.
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Motorists don't need more shit in their cars to distract them. That's not going to make anything fucking safer.
I'm seriously considering requesting that this thread be moved to the Private forum killed and deleted several times so that kind of fucking nonsense does not wind up in public. I swear if some Daily Fail Retard starts running with that kind of ass-hattery, I will be round and I'll be bringing the pointy sticks.
I'm sorry, did I say anything about wearing helmets being compulsory? No? So why all the agression? Calm down, you don't need agression like that to distract you.

I do agree that the only kind of hemlet I would feel protected by is a full-face one, I have used these in the past when doing fast off-road downhill type rides, but with the lack of visibility and the weight of the thing, not to mention looking like an idiot (not really a factor, just a comment to add). I've wondered why people in cars don't wear helmets, surely more lives could be saved if every driver wore a helmet as opposed to every cyclist.
ETA - Richard beat me to it.

Motorworld was a great show, JC was great to watch back then, not so much now.
Yes, the seatbelt thing is a bit of a silly example, but it is the reason I don't use a helmet, it makes you extra vigilant (in my opinion of course).
-
*Is that a picture of a multi-million pound car IN FRONT with "amazing engineering" failing / breaking-down / blowing up....? *
Nope, back in those days everything was pushed to the limits, so the bottom of the cars was just above the ground, so when you hit a bump, there were a load of sparks that flew from the car, i'll get a video to show.
-
I hate the way they've got the same name for their race and road cars, Audi did the same with the R8, makes it much more annoying looking for images, same with remakes of old cars.
-
its just my humble opinion but prevention is better then cure, I know helmets wont prevent me being in a accident but if I can help prevent the chances of seriously damaging myself then its a no brainer for me, its the exact same thing with wearing a seat belt in a vehicle. Why wouldnt you?
Funny you should say that (don't hate me for this next sentace) I was watching Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld (back when he was a motoring journalist) and this one was in Italy, he was speaking to an Italian designer, may have been Guiguaro and he was saying how not wearing a seatbelt makes you not want to crash even more, hence improving safety. Not to be taken 100% seriously obviously, just something to think about.
-
Is that a picture of a multi-million pound car with "amazing engineering" failing / breaking-down / blowing up....? or just some random sparks?
That's sparks caused by shrapnel from the car in front, back in the fantastic days in F1 where if a car made it past the finish line, it was too strong and should've been made faster, 1,400bhp from a 1500cc engine, that's just mind-boggling.
-
However i have noticed that i am slightly riskier when wearing my helmet.
This is my reason for not doing it, without a helmet, I really, really don't want to come off, so i'm extra careful.
-
shame on you Oliver,...posting pixs of icebergs...what were you thinking!!! ;]
New iceberg thread anyone?
-
And that's not even the worst of it--what of all the car lovers not reading this thread? Why? Aren't the right cars getting posted? Does the thread not stay on topic enough? Are there too many bikes getting posted? Are there too many icebergs? ;)
Maybe pics like this will lure more of them in
-
OMG.. you didnt just say more fun then a Elise? have you been drinking? :p
As a matter a fact I have, but as anyone who knows me will testify, I make more sense after i've been drinking, I also play pool much better, not sure of the logic behind that...
-
Sorry I won't be able to make it on the 7th, that's the only weekend I can get back to Ireland.
Keep me posted for the next one though.

something Ive observed for a long time, even if not posting, I see them continually lurking... certainly makes you wonder doesn't it....Kinda O/T but that other forum I sometimes talk about, Pistonheads, there's a similar thing with F1 threads, if a decision goes against Hamilton (PH is full of Hamilton fan-boys) they all say "I'm never watching F1 again, this is a conspiracy" obviosuly, next race all the same guys are back on saying the same thing.
Anyway, back on topic:
Cheaper, faster, easier maintainence and more fun that an Elise (yes, you heard right, I am recommending an alternative to a Lotus =P)
-
Aww man I really hate to do this but i'm heading back to Ireland for that weekend ><
I haven't got the flights booked yet so I may move my flight a week earlier.
Get back to you about it soon.

I'm bored and feeling mischievous.

Discuss...
I think it'd be more fun to discuss why people who seemingly hate cars are reading this thread =P
-
Exactly. Drivers are human. I kid you not.
Not that that means it's the cars that are bad =P
But yes, i've always said this, a nice guy is a nice guy whether (s)he is in a car, on a bike, or walking along a footpath, the numpties are numpties whether they're in a car, on a bike (personally I find these ones worse than the numpties in cars) or on a path. Don't blame it on the bikes/cars.
P.S. I just realised how much I like the word numpty, insults are so much more fun when they make you sound like a kid.
-
And say thanks to drivers if appropriate - he may be that bit kinder to the next guy...
+1 A few times when i've let cars out and they give you a wave to say thanks it does make you much less agressive towards cars, and I assume the reverse is true.
-
To be honest i'm pretty flexible when it comes to the date, I just assumed a weekend would be handier for other people, feel free to recommend other dates.
-
No, I nod at anyone, irrespective of whether I'm riding fixed, geared, road frame, mtb frame, whatever.*
"We are all cyclists."
- I've also been known to nod at horseriders, ramblers, drivers, blah.

If someone did snigger/shake head or something like that, i'd do my best to sprint off from them, there's nothing worse than having someone you look down on kicking your ass =P
- I've also been known to nod at horseriders, ramblers, drivers, blah.
-
I meant for the latest one if it's happening =P
How about the 24th/25th or 31st/1st?

Hate to be going against the grain here (groan) but that boat is absolutely beautiful.
Treemendous if you will...
Sorry I didn't post earlier, I just twigged (double groan) on that this turned into a pun-filled thread.
-
Too early for a list?
-
Kinda off-topic, but i'd love to see your average supercar driver have a go in one of these
It really gets to me when people look at a top speed of a car and say "it's only 150? that's slow!" damn Top Gear viewers =P

London Fixed Gear and Single-Speed is a community of fixed gear and single-speed cyclists.
Okay that's horrible, never a fan of these designs that try to take old looks and update them, the reason people like the looks of old cars is because they're not modern, if you try to modernise it, you kinda lose that.
