Shorty Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I've driven to worksop from Sheffield! By... accident. It's really easy. You're only on the M1 for about 10-15 minutes.
MoogleViper Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I've driven to worksop from Sheffield! By... accident. It's really easy. You're only on the M1 for about 10-15 minutes. Yeah but he's just passed and therefore never driven on a motorway. I think it would be more scary for me as the passenger.
Shorty Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Well you have to have a first time at some point! The M1's not that bad around Sheff, it gets worse further south (busier) and further north (windier!), around here you just crawl slowly down the left hand lane and onto your turnoff. Then you squeeze past Rotherham, you're on the parkway and you practically fall into Sheffield. A motorway is just a dual carriageway with an extra lane on the inside for idiots.
jayseven Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 Am I somewhat disillusioned about the motorway appearing easier to drive on than round a generic city?
Strider Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Am I somewhat disillusioned about the motorway appearing easier to drive on than round a generic city? Faster = Scarier = Easier to die My old instructor doesn't do Pass Plus so i'd have to find another one. I'll just get my dad to come with me first time as a sort of trial run.
Twozzok Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Am I somewhat disillusioned about the motorway appearing easier to drive on than round a generic city? That's what I think aswell.
Shorty Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Am I somewhat disillusioned about the motorway appearing easier to drive on than round a generic city? The thing is, when you're learning to drive they're not allowed to take you on the motorway. Which gives you this terrifying image of something they're too scared to take you on in case you kill yourself and them and everyone behind you.
Ellmeister Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Pfft motorways are nothing more than what J7 said! Its just an extra lane for the speedy people to overtake the slower people. I've been on motorway quite a few times and the only problem with a motorway is the annoying traffic that I nearly always encounter! I should really do my pass plus at some point as well =]
Shorty Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I agree that motorways are an easy drive. I'd sooner drive down the M1 than the centre of London.
ReZourceman Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Aye, Strider motorways are 100% genuinely easy, and not worth the taboo they are tagged with.
MoogleViper Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Am I somewhat disillusioned about the motorway appearing easier to drive on than round a generic city? I agree entirely. I'm still learning and I'd much rather go on a motorway than round a city.
McPhee Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 EDIT: And what's so scary about being near to me! Ask any one of the 15 people from teh online that I've met, I'm right nice, me. Right? I'd be scared if i lived near you
Shorty Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 So,did the Holland meetup never happen? Or was it just so uneventful that nobody's talking about it?
ReZourceman Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 HAHAHAHH! That last pic is epic. I have no recollection of WTF I was thinking then.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 You gotta be kidding me! I've never really payed attention to this thread 'cause I knew I wouldn't be able to go because ... well, too busy, too lazy, call it what you want. Now, for some unexplained reason, I finally check the thread, only to find out the meeting took place while I was in London! Jesus!
nightwolf Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 haha the one were rez is sat down on the grass, his face is like ''picture? PICTORZ!'' ^_^ haha.
Eenuh Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 If there is another meetup in London next year, I will try to go as well. And I will drag Coolness Bears along. =P
jayseven Posted July 8, 2008 Author Posted July 8, 2008 aces :P they're blatantly the MGS codec versions of what we look like.
EchoDesiato Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Looks awesome. Were there actually any people that went to the Holland meet-up?
