{quote} What does that mean in the bigger picture of things? Are there going to be repercussions because of this?
From the 'Cable Implodes' news thread, this link to a Reuters article http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-politics-idUSKCN1261ZO?il=0

Seems there was a reaction to TM's speeches at the Conservative Party Conference, and more likely Hollande's two finger (verbal) salute to the British.

....or as Jen wrote, it could have been the Chinese manipulating a cheaper buy on GBP

{quote} It's China. Blamed on a runaway bot, but I don't believe that. They're buying GBP to pay for Hinckley. I had GJ short going last night.

So in other words nobody knows! The million dollar question of the day!

Ahhh, are you a petrolhead? I can talk cars all day! I've been missing Top Gear and that ginger squirt is no substitute.

I'm a sort-of petrol head.
I enjoy racing, I drive two wheels (see my avatar) with 500bhp/ton (depending upon how much pudding I've eaten).
My car is practical oil-burner ... with more than the average amount of shove but not loads.

There's something about that ginger squirt. I find him generally irritating and switch-off whatever he appears on, with or without video.

When I was 18 I dated a rally driver. He told me to just get through my test and then I can learn to drive properly. So that's where it all started and it's stuck. Now I like my cars big but can be thrown around like a hot hatch, German with a decent poke and obviously manual. Which is becoming a bit of a problem. I'm in two minds about the steptronic gearbox. I've always hated auto. Any thoughts?

What races have you done?

For a recent oh-no birthday somebody bought me a comparison drive at Silverstone; a Ferrari 458 and an Aston Martin Vantage. The 458 had a paddle-shift gearbox which I really liked (done a lot of miles on Grand Turismo in manual-mode), and a V8 Vantage manual with cramped foot-well but good handling and sounds much nicer... looks nicer too IMHO. You can get the Vantage with a sequential auto-box.

Only karts, different types, for quite a while now. Don't own a kart and never have.

You do realise that you are training your children to be hooligans, do you? My sons are beyond redemption

By the time my kids are old enough to drive, it will be all self driving and they will never learn! I hope not though. I play a game with them where they have to tell me what to do according to the road conditions - brake, change gear etc. My older one is very good, better than most adults.

Currently I'm trying to source BMW 5 series M manual (that's the hard bit) about a year old, the best I can get is the 525. 530 and 535 don't come in manual. Adaptive steering, head up display and night vision as well.

I'm sorry, but I think American cars are worse than French! They're mattresses on wheels. Over 80 mph and they're unstable.

I've been doing my motorcycle lessons - like wtf are all these tests for: CBT, Theory, Off Road Test (for cc group), On Road Test (for cc group) plus more tests if you don't do it on 500cc initially....

I've stopped going into Autumn / Winter, the roads are too wet.

Also was at my first motogp race this summer

Bikes are far too dangerous for me I would never go on one (again).

For something less practical and smaller I'd go for the M4. It's beautiful; the cornering is amazing!

No way! Granted we had some bad years in the 80's and 90's but our cars have gotten a lot better since, especially Ford, and no one can beat our trucks. You have never driven a Mustang Shelby or Dodge Challenger? Pure Power, and exhilaration! I do like Aston Martin (one of my favorites) and the BMW M5, Audi SR6 is pretty sweet.

Sorry, I edited this after further thought.

I used to race ST SCAA, Sport cross. My was VW Golf GTI Wolfberg Edition. I loved that car. Also had a Jetta, which I also liked. My next vehicle is probably going to be a Truck.
