Now I know you like to imagine me in leather Matthew dear (I seem to recall a certain mocked up picture), but I suppose it's better than imagining me in lycra...

I apologise for my vulgar language...

You should know the Naim forum rules by now - death threats etc are ok, but modifing equipment - now that's a serious crime...

Steady on, using uprated fuses could burn the house down, therefore causing death, so such a suggestion could cause death, or a threat to life - arghhh a death threat

If it didn't break at least some of those rules then would anyone read it?

Nice one guys !

Back to the ORIGINAL question.....some 9 pages back

I'm very surprised nobody on the forum has raced at Santa Pod in a dragster......

The "Desktop" thread hasn't degenerated that far - YET

Yes that too; suggested "removal of fuses from ABS systems when snowing". A clear attempt to risk lives.

Never mind speeding, what about driving drunk? How much can you consume and still drive home?
Any fool knows that you drive more carefully with a few pints inside you, to avoid detection, so are actually safer than when sober. The fact that I have never had an accident or been caught drunk-driving proves this to be true.

So come on you hard men, how much can you get down your necks and still drive?

Anyone see the Top Gear magazine article on drink driving penalties? I thought the Swedish one was fair (one year's hard labour) but there was somewhere in the South America which allowed the death penalty for it and somewhere in Europe (Bulgaria?) which had the death penalty for the 3rd offence.

So it's fear of conviction that stops you?

My father has a very old (1950's) driving manual which actually has a section on how to drive when you are drunk!
I can't say that I have tried it, though.
One thing that we have all done is driving when we are tired, which is bloody dangerous, too.

Excellent! I absolutely INSIST that you post the relevant section here. We NEED to know.

Very dangerous. I've done a few 1000+ mile in 24 hour trips and strategies to minimise tiredness are important.

Maybe that's a way to make F1 interesting again? All the cars start with 8 pints of beer on-board in a hydration system and the drivers have to finish it all before the end of the race. The pit stops could double as piss stops...

Perhaps the drivers could stay up all night before, shagging too.

What do you mean they already do?

Instead of just switching on for the first corner, we would be switching on for the last.

I was racing my mate Pete around the roads of Swindon once, we had drunk five pints in the pub first and had another ten cans of Stella to get through before Marlborough. Pete had the advantage around the magic roundabout due to his cup holder and I lost a quarter of the can at the exit of the last mini-roundabout, but managed to neck most of the remaining can by the time we got to the Shell garage. Pete slowed momentarily to grab another can and grip it between his knees to flip the top, so I got past on the pavement (mid afternoon school run traffic), and got back in lane just behind a bus. It would have been disaster, but the next can was still unopened, so lucky escape there. The Stella was getting a bit shaken up by this time and we both could have done with wipers on the inside, but we pressed on as best we could all the way to Marlborough. Pete got me on the golf course when I just missed a bunker & he necked two tins on the fairway. I was momentarily dazzled by the golfers trousers, which nearly made me chuck. Difficult to know who really won in the end as the spillage was considerable.

That's really funny frazzle
