Re: where's the THRILL in driving?
- Tailgating police officers (ambulances aren't fun, they hardly go over
75mph)
- Overtaking in turns
- Use of any paved space provided
- Drive with an (almost) empty gas tank
- Spin out on intersections
Yeah, I'm bored while driving.

Basically this guy figured out how to write a grant proposal and managed
to defraud the following institution:
http://www.ahrb.ac.uk/
out of a grant, for a rediculous study on his website that contributes
absolutely nothing
of value to anyone. No doubt most of the grant will end up supporting his
pizza and
beer habit.

No, you will be giving him a reason to justify to his granting institution
why
he can continue bleeding money out of them.
This is an excellent example of why granting institutions need to follow up
and make sure whomever they award grant money to actually uses it
as the institution intends.

Maine in winter I might add) in a nice car (1998 Stratus 2.5V6, slighly

Must be something people in Texas experience every day, but for me,
it was exiting. Doing a 1450 meters (4500 feet) mountain pass
with 110 km/hr (70mph) up and down on cruisecontrol was thrilling as
