No but I bought tickets for my g/f for the wembley gig and subsequently cancelled them cos MK too far and got her VIP ones for Coventry instead. What turns up in the post yesterday? Bloody tickets to MK. So I have to send them back by special deliv at my own cost.

I just wonder how many others 'cancelled' on the website and have now received their tickets.

She's on her way up to Coventry right now actually. Thankfully I didn't have a weak moment and decide to go with her...

I was at MK on Saturday afternoon, and i noticed lots of rock types hanging around the station, so i guessed having seen Jon Bon on jonathan Ross the night before, that Bon Jovi were playing on Saturday afternoon, but apparently not!

Ahhhh, we're half way there.............

err, I'm still 50+ way off 600 - thats when it gets tricky as in serious engine mods needed!!! just like 40% of the ricer enthusiast market. Uprated turbos and fuelling with piggyback fuel-comp etc, etc, etc... does eat brake-pads and discs like there was no yesterday! engine is good for 600ish, depending on use.... rev-limiter doesnt kick in at all so she goes way over 170cough something lol.... but still too heavy to match a well-sorted cerbie, but off the line in the wet - SHE WINS! and she's got a fatter arse I think the some chap in the states did a 10.9 in a stock-engined but uprated turbos 3000GT VR4 on stock-drivetrain! Theres a vid here somewhere, I'll dig it up. Great runabout till you hit a bend

I went on sunday to Man City and they were out of this world! Nickleback were great too - get near the front of the standard standing bit to hopefully touch Jon and get free nickleback tee shirts!

Hey, is the 3000GT /GTO not very good on the bends? i thought it would be pretty good with allwheel drive and steer and adaptive front and rear spoilers? or is it cause its pushing out so much power?
