    Also called a reverse 180 or J-turn, but rockford sounds much cooler. The point is to turn around without stopping.

    Ah, that I'm more familiar with and yes, it is very stupid and dangerous, and probably not that enjoyable.

    So does anything excite you or is everything even remotely exciting just stupid and dangerous to you? Like a roller coaster or, uh, hopscotch.

    Not really much that excites me, but then again I don't do much.

    Who was I putting in danger?
    I can tell you, having been there, that it was a hell of a lot of fun.

    I think at this point its already very obvious that the biggest risk factor in Potato's life is himself :p

    Good. Hopefully I'll die.
    I know what I'm doing. Mostly.

    Its a car, you really cant fuck up doing a 180 in a flat bit of ground unless a sink hole opens up underneath the car or something...

    Then I should probably not mention some of the dumb shit I've done.

    318 Dakota Dukes-of-Hazzard jumping a creek.

    87 Camaro acting like a rally car on some gravel back roads.

    Copious amounts of Tannerite.

    Shooting things that aren't slugs or pellets from a shotgun

    Driving 30 miles without brakes of any kind

    And plenty of other bad ideas.

    My cousin managed to write off a Renault Clio in an empty Tesco car park. So really anything's possible :p

    Well, the M20 reopened today after that bridge collapse. However, half the bridge is still hanging over the Coastbound carriageway, which is quite badly cantilevered. But don't worry, they have motion sensors on it (Which are only useful if it is actually falling!)

    I finally decided to watch an episode of the new top gear. It just isn't the same. I really miss Jeremy, Richard, and James. They will always be the people I think of whenever I hear someone talk about top gear.

    Just watched the final of Robot Wars, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next series.

    As for Top Gear, Some of the episodes are far far worse than others (the first was especially bad), some of them were pretty OK though. I think given a season or two things will start to improve a lot as the script writers learn how to write for the presenters personalities and as the presenters get to know each other better. Personally I really enjoyed Extra Gear though which is a new show the BBC ran along side Top Gear that was presented by Rory & Chris Harris. Since they seem to get on well with each other.
    I am hoping they don't fill the gap that Evens has left since I think the show worked better with a smaller cast. But I see a lot of potential for it to be good. Hopefully The Grand Tour is good, since we may find in 1-2 years time that there are now two very solid car shows on TV.
