    Can't help thinking I could be wasting my time with something better, though.
    I read all the books over Christmas, loved them. I spend most of my time studying these days so whenever I read for recreation I tend to choose fantasy or something similar that requires no mental effort.

    The rx8 has 156 lb-ft of torque btw, that's not much less than my diesel civic had as standard so I don't know who told ewe they have no torque but i'm guesising it was one of your hairdresser mates.

It's a lot more than that but that's enough for what you're after, like.
    i'd guess an rx8 not having much torque would be cause it's a wankel engine instead of a normal engine, no idea why tho', i know feck all about them.
    Wankel engines use rotation to drive instead of pistons. I'm not sure how that would affect the torque, but I am guessing it may have something to do with piston motion having more periods of momentum than a rotational engine would have?

    Just guessing now though.
    Just guessing at where to put a curly-whurley more like?

    Hoi, Bojak, what was the festival like, you strange satire-punk hybrid creature.

    I like your ironic approach?

    It were good, like.
    The lineup wasn't as good as usual but we still got whopped and pished to the macks and had a kwality thyme.
    I didn't even get into any 'disagreements' this time

    It was a bit shit how rancid, stiff little fingers and agnostic front were all on at the same time tho', ended up watching rancid cause i've seen slf and agnostic front more times than dave has posted about That Woman.
