been thinking about this thread and it got me thinking.... Regardless of age when people take the theory test do you think it would if they took the speed awareness course and watched a few YouTube fails? With the YouTube fails it might open newbies eyes to overtaking at junctions etc?
Maybe even show some really grim photos of accidents to show it's a weapon your driving.

The funny thing is, I get e-mails asking me to re-visit ScoobyNet 'As they haven't seen me in such a long time'

The advertisers pay extra if I'm contributing .... it has been suggested that I am a bot, an internet invention from an exceedingly clever mind, to generate massive profits ...

And kiddies under 30 should not be allowed to drive powerful cars - that would cut the road death toll by 66%!

I suggest that BHP be limited to 45BHP for all those under 30 .... some will even struggle handling THAT!

We didn't have cars like this when I was your age .................. hec, we had just about got away from the Horse and Cart!!

And, come on, 300 BHP in the hands of a 21 year old? You're just out of nappies!!

Are you absolutely sure you're not actually talking about the Impreza you have in your Gran Tourismo garage??

300 bhp in a 21 year old that understands the throttle works both ways? i would think it was fine by me ... i pay the price for being young and thats what being young is all about ... flash cars etc ... because lets face it not gonna have half as much fun when im shacked up, married and kids round my ankles am i haha

and no im not talking about GT unless graphics for video games these days have improved somewhat

You've been strung along by Pete for this long? You need to bring your interweb/forum skills up to the same level as your alleged driving skills

Pete, this thread has been a success indeed for you

Anyway, I started off in classic VW Beetles, they were fun to drive in the snow!

I assume you know that passenger side front door has been replaced at some point.

Or perhaps myself and a good majority of others are getting fed up and bored of the utter bollocks this troll keeps posting. Perhaps if he removed his head from his arsehole and took a second to think if anyone gave a **** about what he was posting most of the time he wouldn't be on 30k plus posts

Its probably never seen any paint silver / grey cars can look that way, had a few they don't photgraph well. I posted a few of mine recently and front and rear bumpers look a shade off to the rest of the car as I have owned the car since new, I know for a fact its never seen any paint and in the flesh they look exactly the same. Red cars can look the same under sodium lighting.

There are 100's of threads you can read, and post on.

Could you please answer why you feel the urge to read, and worse, post on a thread started by someone you don't agree with?

I would really appreciate an answer, as it puzzles me ....

Certainly, plastic parts look a different shade ..... but I have had some silver cars, the metal parts all looked the same shade, always.

Silvers are hard to match correctly .... and that car, posted above, looks like a definate paint job on the door.

I have read some of your posts, and most of the time I find you to be someone who just like to whinges and complain. However I am 100% certain that the driving test I passed was much harder than the one you passed many years ago, and I would love to see if you could pass one of today's tests? And whilst I agree 100% with the poor driving of SOME younger drivers you cannot put everyone in the same boat. If I were to say that everyone over 50 regularly wets and can't work the Internet is that true?

OK, so what you are saying is that you are entitled to post your opinion - but I'm not able to post mine ..... am I reading that right?

If you believe that I am indeed entitled to voice my opinion then you are simply being exceedingly bad mannered and need to look in the mirror - you know I'm right, don't you?

If you were to say that all over 50's can't work the internet, then I would just say this - I was working the internet in 1998 ..... when you were 3 years old and still wetting your pants
