Arne - superb!

Just one thing thing though - that camera was being held with your ' get me out of the s**t by clutching when I seize' hand if I'm not mistaken?

Could've been interesting near those cliffs :D

Either you've got balls of steel or ultra confidence in your motor - or both :D

you noticed ;-) after doing 100s of miles with no problems whatsoever you will have the confidence. give it a shot! the adrenalin rush of shooting up towards a cliff with absolutely no leeway is half the fun.
cheers!

you can really go off people can't you!!!!!

Its not stopped p155ing down with rain here in Bristol for about a month now.

But hey- A TV175 S3, the Pacific Highway and "Light my Fire" (preferably by The Doors next time), and you'd think you've died and gone to heaven

Nice one

Chris

................there's always the A403 Severn Beach to Avonmouth road on a wet Thursday afternoon, just after they've unloaded the animal incinerator!
