Rich and Robin are on a girl pic spamfest competition - who can incorporate the most girl pics into threads in a day......

I'm backing Robin as he already has a back catalogue :signLOL:

i expect most of his back catolog pages are stuck together though john :signLOL:


....Didn't your mummy tell you, Steve? - Never judge others by what you do yourself  :evilgrin: :happy2:


I might surrender now, before I lose, and then get myself sacked for looking up smut at work  :scared:   :chicken:


....Resistance is futile!

[I'm sure that's a cue for a suitable 'futile resistance' pic]

....But it's all your fault, John! - You started it! I started this thread off as a serious question and you mentioned the word "choke"  :wink: :laugh:

dont blame me
I can, I believe, mention 'soft' , 'hard' , 'directional' ,'push back' in a sentence (about track tyres) without it descending into chaos.

Back on topic momentarily :smiley:,

I go for B, and gently does it till everything is warmed up, whats suprising is the water temp gauge reads normal after only a short period of time but when you keep an eye on the oil temp it takes a good 10miles on the motorway before it actually stops rising and settles :smiley:
