ooh and way to go with the overtaking an R driver! :D

i think my proudest moment of learning to drive was being screamed at "take evasive!!!" when people started to hurl stuff at the police landrover driving infront of me! sooo scary! :unsure:

Ok my response to that would have prob been to screem and cover my eyes or something along thoes lines!!! (well maybe not)

If you like speed try doing a skydive I was doing donuts at approx 150mph in mid air soooo amazing, but it feels faster in a car!!

I hate driving to ballymena but dats prob because the first time I tryd to do a junction was at the massive roundabout that says 'ballymena city of the seven towers' and I had no idea what to do or how to do it, I was da first car in the que and stalled like three times so my dad had to get out of the car and take over - not so good!!

could never ever sky dive! scares the pants clean off me! :blink: so fair play to ya for doing it!

give me an open road, a good car and some snacks and im happy! donegal is probably one of the best places to drive (go once youre off your R's coz the 45 mph doesnt count!) the roads are beautiful, corners wide and sweeping and the views are amazing! plus theres usually no one else about for miles!

Doing a skydive is easy, I am absolutly petrified of heights and was so close to pulling out but once you are in that plane your grand!!

No offence to anyone who llikes Donegal but I really don't see the attraction of it (appart from the chocolate which is gorgous!) could you not just make do with somewhere in the north coast??

It's quite suprising when you see how much attention people give their car when you see some of the paint jobs up there!
There is, of course your Lambos and ferraris there too ;)

Sounds like great craic!! thats not something youd get away with here.

The port is the place to be if crusing and spending the night in a car park is your kinda thing, its also a good way to waste petrol!!

The worst thing about the circut on a sunday night in portstewart is that all the young farmers have sooped up cleos etc and then think that they will 'pull' because of their car!!!

I once saw a dark green Defender with nothing fancy on it roll onto the promenade street with two young fellas in it, A lot of people (including the other 'posers') where giving them funny looks... until they turned on their big sound system (which took up the entire rear end of the jeep!).. the tin walls of the jeep where jiggling about like mad when they had it up full chat!
A funny sight :)
Goan' the Defender!!

wrc = World Rally Champs. ;)



EDIT:
Sorry this is a bit off topic but can I pick up a form for the SU weekend Naomi? I had to rush out early because of Mrs Campbell <_< (maths). Mrs Mc Curdey has them right?

About Mrs Campbell.. (a semi-rant)
I've had to write out a letter of apology for coming to her class literally 1minute after the 2nd bell. There where about 4odd of us coming from SU and when we got to the door she locked us out, then proceeded 5mins later to yelling etc. But as she was shouting etc. I looked down the corridor and there where two other classes waiting outside their doors, waiting for their teacher to come... it was that sort of 'late'.. We where then told if we come late to her class, 'from SU or whatever' again she will give us a friday afternoon!! Was she out of order?
I know I'm not supposed to slag/rant about other people/teachers on the forum but I
really don't like saying sorry for something I strongly believe I'm not!
Grrr....

OK, happy face on again!! :D

I know, she's really tough on you for the smallest things...but anyway! We ran out of forms at SU yesterday but Mrs.McCurdy should have more on Monday if you want to speak to her.

Apologies for the teacher rant thing - we advise speakers about finishing at 1.40 but setting up etc always takes longer than predicted, particularly when classes use the LT period 6. I had the same problem with a teacher in 4th year so I can empathise with you! If she is really unfair in dishing out punishments, or specifically discriminates against you because it's SU, then speak to your form teacher or Mrs. McCurdy about it. In the meantime, don't be afraid to leave early from SU if you need to - a great way to witness to her is by respecting her rules.
