I am obviously a light weight!

When ever I go out in the TVR or on the Bike, its lovely to stop at a pub and have a pint. And if you are in there for a while I might even stretch it as far as two pints.

But I was very disappointed when I saw a lovely silvery Tuscan at the Wattenden Arms (I think that was the name, it was near Purley anyway), I saw the chap in the beer garden, I know it was his by the strategic placement of the keys with the TVR fob on proud display. In the time I was there he managed to sink 4 possibly 5 large glasses of red wine. Maybe it was ribena, maybe it was alcohol free, and if so I appologise. But if it was wine shame on you.

DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!!!!!!!! Especially if you are in a TVR it gives us a bad name. (When you smash your car or kill someone)

Rant over!

I must be even more of a lightweight than you because I'd feel a bit tipsy after two pints, so i'd feel pretty irresponsible driving unless it was a real emergency of some sort.

It may be just me but................shouldn't you look at what you are saying first...........you have (even at a stretch) 2 pints, then tell someone NOT to drink and drive.
Are you sure that by drinking 2 pints you are not over the limit yourself.

Never seen a Tuscan at the Wattenden. I think he's on here. I know there is a chap with a Silver Tuscan who lives in Kenley. My parents live just around the corner from the Wat.

On a good night I have gone the far side of sixteen pints on several occaisions....
[stag do this weekend a prime example.....]

However, I always make a choice...

Drinking OR driving - I can't see the point in one pint...
