Spat my coke over the keyboard on #10!
But 9? Back to Ian's First law... Doesn't matter who's wrong or right, you can't feel sanctimonious in a coffin/coma/wheelchair when my 1000kg car beats your 7kg bike.

I found motoring more enjoyable after passing my IAM test. I pay more attention to the finesses and find there is a lot more of interest . It also sharpens concentration and anticipation. I fear I upset a lot of following motorists however, since I drive up to, but not above, posted speed limits.

I find driving most enjoyable at night when the roads are nice and quiet; they're generally pretty busy during the day around here in Reading.

May I suggest an 11th , buy a Rover 75............
