If I don't come back :-)
Discussion
Hi everyone who knows me, I am 60 next week and to celebrate I am going here to do what is being done in the video link below, I was going to drive in the chim but it's too loud for Switzerland. If I don't come back does anyone want to make an offer on my car and I will give the info to my brother who will be coming with me

Got room for one more? Haha
But on a serious note I got a stock silencer/exhaust you can borrow if you want to take the Chim,
thanks Alex, i do have a quiet exhaust somewhere at hilton and moss, i didnt fancy the drive there and back without a co driver, i was due to take my son, booked it all up and then he told me he hasnt got his passport back yet !! bottle job i reckon, so my brother is coming, flying to milan for two nights, back on sunday.But on a serious note I got a stock silencer/exhaust you can borrow if you want to take the Chim,
maybe a few of us youngsters can do a road trip there another time :-)
show you the video on my return
I should have thought owning a 500 would have provided more than enough opportunity for a violent death to satisfy most men.
Clearly you are not normal Lester (or you don't do enough
)
When my son was about 13, I got him a season pass to Thorpe Park.
He told me he spent the whole day there riding all of the biggest, fastest, scariest etc.
I said something like; "don't any of those rides make you ill or something after all those hours?"
To which he replied; "After 5 years riding shotgun in the TVR every weekend, I don't think there is a ride in the world that can scare me. They're all kind of boring really.".
Have fun Lester

..............warned me against going in a loud car as there is a good chance of being stopped by the BiB
I am sure that if someone wants to go over there and act like an idiot then it won't go down well and they will probably get nicked for something, with or without noise.I dare say that someone like yourself who is sensible as you obviously are (see above
) wouldn't have any issues at all.The endless tunnels and decent roads might prove to be a little too much of a temptation though

yes ive scared myself and others a few times :-)
but not doing enough
? i used to go mountain biking most nights until i got my TVR and then i put on 2 stone whilst the bike gathered cobwebs. i have evened it out a bit now and do a bit of both and i have lost the 2 stones.
i will definately take the TVR abroad either this year or next though

Just to confirm, i will be doing the same jump off the same bridge, and the more i look at it i think,
its a TVR jump, no ABS, no traction control, going too fast to stop properly, out of control again, and the prospect of leaving giant skid marks lol i just hope the equipment wasnt made in Blackpool and that its held together with more than glue
