Insurance- so do you park your car on a driveway or in a garage
Rich- No but it's behind some guys holding SA80's 8)
Insurance- I have no SA80 box to tick
Rich- :rage
Insurance- do you have an alarm installed?
Rich- have you ever tried to steal a car under a hail of 5.56mm?

Oh god no, don't mention runways, they get all excited about airside and groundside, then try to bugger you for more money.

Curiously, Bell direct have "a parked on a military facility" tick box. :D

That is (Part of) the reason I'm with them (And they were cheapest) :thumbsup

Anyway if you left the alarm on and went on holiday it would turn its self off in a week when the battery died :roll: I have a feeling mine is on it's last legs and I'm not going to get much chance to drive her this week either. :roll:

Really sh!t day at work, so went for a drive as the battery needs charging (Honest Guv') found some excellent roads at random, just kept going, no idea here I was. I am now relaxed and calm (Until tomorrow!)

Just thought I'd share that with you all.

I thought every road in Fife led to Kirkaldy!? At least that's where I always end up :( If there's great roads in Fife u gotta share... I always end up nose to tail... ultimately with women hitting me front clam (ok... it's only happened twice).

A little loop I found last night (I think) Started to rain so I came back up the A92. Must be better bits...

Keep going up the valley for more twisty action....

John Reid has some excellent routes around Glenrothes from Kirkaldy and up to Dundee.

Go have a look!

The A915 south from St A's seems a nice road, was on it yesterday, but not in Elise :(

Went a bit further today, the last stretch to Newburgh is ace! A bit narrow mind. I had to slow down as my dad was feeling ill.....:puke

Dropped him off with my mum when she caught up in the hire car(Going for a drive was her idea, not mine!) and the road back to Cupar is pretty good too! :D

Sober up tomorrow and have a blast!
