Martin has been stationary at the top of Seweweekspoort since lunchtime yesterday. Any news ?

I recall Mario Cipollini being in Cape Town many years ago.. If the (very reliable) information I had is anything close to the truth, he did not need a lead-out man.....

And MD has crossed over to the Western Cape........

This is as below the belt as Jewbacca wat sy naaimasjien wil uithaal

Great idea. I looks like it is based on Lazarus Lake's Big Backyard run where the winner/last survivor this year ran for 68 hours (283miles/453km) before the other guy quit....

Not sure if this has been posted before but Stefan Johansson has given his views on how to make F1 awesome again. Certainly more interesting than the current season's racing. https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/johansson-proposal-f1-awesome-economics/4374192/

How lekker was that? Ideal way to get 5 months of idleness out of the system.

What have Niner and Cotic done to offend you ?

Apropos funny shaped aeroplanes...... I challenge anybody to watch the first 90 seconds of this and not bookmark it to watch. A documentary on the RAF getting one Vulcan bomber (about to be broken up for scrap) ready for the then longest bombing raid: bombing the runway at Port Stanley at the outset of the Falklands war. Brilliant. Understated RAF humour and daring-do to plan, and execute the mission. All good fun until the press got hold of the story and announced that they were on their way...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBJ99bIhAVk

Indeed. When it comes at you it transforms your underpants into a smelly mess....

Dam Busters and Reach For The Sky.....

Every time I hear Brian Shul tell that story and the put down of the F18 pilot it reminds me of spending a good part of my national service in an officer's mess on a fast jet air base and the vlam-gat attitude to lesser beings - Neuro surgeons, Nobel prize winners, Olympic gold medallist, in fact every one not flying an Impala mk2 because they knew that one day they too would be at the pinnacle of human endeavour - in the cockpit of a CZ111.

It is my approach as well. I too am only interested in doing the fastest Everest ever and for the same reasons I have given up 263 attempts. It is easy doing one, just not worthwhile doing it unless I can BE THE BEST EVA. Ps. It is also why I dropped out of school - no point unless I could get like eleventy hundred distinctions, or stopped dating because I couldn't marry Michelle Pheiffer so what is the point, and I live in a hole in the ground because what is the point of buying a house if it can't be "Fallingwater" which is the only house worth owning...

It was an obvious joke, but being OFFENDED is also appears to be a basic human right

I wonder what VNE is on a Ruppel's vulture..

Double thumbs up !!!!

This was my encounter. Is was too close. Much to close.

Kudos to a brand that tells you that your needs are better met by an opposition product.

That was always a good pub-quiz question: " over which country did the last downing of a USAF plane by the Luftwaffe take place"

.

How takes the flak for the missed pin ?

Wow, that must be k@k for the pax. Imagine you are just about to tuck into your dinner when you get told to tree-aan for 3 quick loops of SBR without a warm-up.

It's an internet forum FFS. What gives you the idea that you need an argument to flame someone ????

Fixed.
