Interesting that you find watching a DVD while driving dangerous. How many idiots are now on the road watching a sat nav screen?

Sat nav screen is hardly a film. I only glance at mine to read distance to next junction or what way to turn up ahead. The lovely Lady also talks to me to reinsure me I'm going the right way.

Well then exactly,
your just as bad for me if you speed over the limits that are set for your safety arn't you.
Look at statistics on how many accident are cause through excess driving speeds in relation to watching dvd's (enough said i think)

Bottom Line Yello ****ty (Disco) it's not big and clever to speed....

Have a nice evening chump

what a load of old bollocks!! the only thing that causes accidents is driving beyond the limits of A)the vehicle B) the road conditions or C) the driver.. if speed had anything to do with it then Andy Green would be the deadest man on earth.. speed don't cause accidents it multiplies the effect of the accident

Hi yella,

As a matter of fact, it is, at least according to my dictionary. (Don't become reckless because may 6th is approaching eh .... )

If i may be so bold, can i but in to this little debate. IMHO Pirrelli tyres are crap. I've used Pirelli tyres on a Mondeo and found the tyre wear and grip to be very poor. I changed to Michelin which were a huge improvment. I know have Michelin Synchrone 255/55 R17 97H on my Evolution 17" alloys.

Hi teenagers,

I heard from an independent LR specialist that Michelin's are very expensive, he recommends the BF Goodrich Macadam instead. (It's a so-called 2nd rate brand of Michelin, supposed to use the same rubber but with another tread and much less expensive??).

Hi Ming,

Looking at your picture (on the avatar) you can't be over 35. Besides one is only as old as he feels. (And I always add: in the morning on the side of his bed).
