Dear Sir,

Please note the following:

1, it is unwise to attempt to overtake a lorry with oncoming traffic, it also looks remarkably uncool to pull out, then see the car, brake suddeny, and dive back behind the lorry (twice).

2, there is little need to take the "racing line" through corners whilst sat behind said lorry at about 40-50mph, nore indeed whilst inside the village 40mph limits at about 35mph.

3, When I overtake you at 55-60 when you are doing 40 mph on a clear straight road (lorry has turned off) I do not expect you to wander 12-18" over the white line towards the side of may car as I am carrying ot this manouvre. I realised as passing you that this was doubtless caused by your concentration being on the mobile phone conversation you were having, not your driving, so if you can't hold a phone and keep your car in a straight line, get a hands free kit.

yours sincerely,

Motorist with a camera.



Rant over.. thanks
Matt.

you can clip a camera to top of steering wheel.. that way it is always pointing forwards, and whenever you are going in a straightline it is posistioned to do as per photo.. just press the button with one finger and hey presto.. one pic.

have you not seen some of the cameras about these days ? check this one for james bond gadgetry:



Cheers
Matt

not jut the suspension.. the T2000 killing machine, made of liquid metal, that can morph itself into any form it touches - a piece of flooring, a human being, but not, inconveniently enough, "anything with moving parts".

Can't morph into anything with moving parts eh? Does that mean that you can morph into a Tuscan then?

Ducking and running for cover
