Thank god the 55 was abolished. never understood why, with some brilliant long straight roads, and some big distances to travel, you were restricted to 55. Good on Clinton - always liked him, shame about how he liked to smoke his cigars, haha! Looks like we will be having the 70 limit increased here...

On a Saturday, at 1PM, there was extremely light traffic, and I could have traveled at 90 MPH had I wished to. People have a perception that Los Angeles area traffic is in a state of grid-locked bumper-to-bumper congestion 24/7, which is very far removed from reality. And I thought everyone in Amer...

Forgot to post an update - sorry!!!! Yeah, couldn't see a replaceable O ring on that pipe - just took it totally off, then re-fitted correctly - no more issues with leaks.

Only had a quick look at it earlier but the light was fading - I think its the flex pipe, but I'll get under it properly tomorrow. Hopefully not too expensive, but then I hope I'll win the lottery, and I hope for world peace, and that I suddenly become more attractive to women, but none of that ever...

Silly question - looks like my exhaust may be blowing. Could this also give rise to the surging mentioned above?

Wales, UK - God's country! (apparantly)

Hands up - who doesn't know where Wales is?

Can't find an ex-wife forum on internet, and I value the opinions of you guys. Ex wife is seriously p*****g me off. Do I :- a. Take her shit, and love it. b. Fight back, and lose badly 'cos the law always favours the woman c. Accept it, and get a sex change - cos as we all know, if you can't beat 'e...
