Sport or not, it makes cracking viewing IMO  

I'm off to watch a few of the Olympic 'sports' now. A bit of synchronised swimming or maybe a lass running about a square with a ribbon  

or even a winter sport like standing up on a sledge  

Thats why its called the Olympic GAMES.

...or little rich boys driving cars around a circuit 40 times ?

Psaw! Do four hours straight at quallifying pace (in the dark) and you can call yourself God, or Andre Lotterer. Get close to 400 times with two others in 24 hours and you can call yourself a team

Le Mans is the greatest motorsports event on the planet.

I'm doing that on Satdi night   

It's called driving down the M1 to see our young'un 

and I'm not in a team because Lazy Cow won't learn to drive   even though she tells me how to

youve never driven from merida to cancun then ? its like driving through **** norfolk only 20 times more the distance !!

Can't say I have Imre   but I've driven the 7 miles from my house to Leeds in an hour and a half 

Talking of East Anglia though, I once left Lowestoft at 10:15PM and was pulling off the M1 in Leeds by midnight   but my favourite has to be leaving Manchester airport at 2 in the morning and turning onto the M606 at 25 past   but that was back in the 90's before all these bloody speed cams

I once went from Indianapolis to Chicago (185 miles) and arrived 10 mins before I left!!

[Maddix]

Yeah but our time zones are not like yours

Norfolk is still in 1950, Scotland in 1970, Yorkshire in 1985 and the Home Counties in 1920

Do you have a 'my other car is a Delorean' bumper sticker then ?

Psaw! Do four hours straight at qualifying pace (in the dark) and you can call yourself God...

I'm doing that on Satdi night

Qualifying pace? Nah mate, it'll be 60 50 40 under them "smart" motorway gantries.

I reckon you are better off on the A1. Nice bit of twisty A road to Newark and then dual carriageway all the way with a bit of Motorway. I like to play games on the roundabouts - trying to take em without touching the brakes.

Have any regular M1 users noticed that the Tower Garage filling station has been knocked down? The one at the top of the hill where you turn onto the Finchley Road which Jezza set off from to do London-Edinburgh-London on one tank full of diesel. Sold for development I think. Who the fewk would want to buy a house there?
