    Hopefully a list will be published of those who reach 12 points, so we can point and laugh.

    Ignore the summons. Please.

    Can anybody translate this for me? I've got absolutely no idea what he's trying to say. :confused:

    After carefully comparing the text to the Rosetta Stone, I think it either means

    "Ha! Some of the penalty points will be going soon [expiring] anyway, so I'll just be careful for the next few months. After that, I'll claim some female was driving the car, so she can take my points."

    or

    "I'm a glutton for punishment, and not the sharpest tool in the box."

    or maybe the lyrics to the Sigur Ros song "Flugufrelsarinn", I'm not sure.

    "Off topic" - I think its a good idea OP has been entertained at the top of the thread list for too long telling us how great he is :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    had to google Flugufrelsarinn incomprehensable to say the least

    Hamagangur, Ég Þusti Niður Að Læknum, Bjargvættur.
    Ég Gerði Skip Tilbúið Og Fór Með Litla Bæn Því Ég Var Hræddur.
    Sólin Skein Og Lækurinn Seytlaði.
    Sóley - Sóley Flugurnar Drepast.
    En Í Dag Á Ég Að Bjarga Sem Flestum Flugum.
    Með Spotta Í Skip Ég Er Með Í Hvorri Hendi - Ákveðinn.
    Ég Kasta Þeim Út Í Hylinn Og Reyni Að Hala Flugurnar Inn Áður En Seiðin Ná Til Þar Sem Þær Berjast Við Strauminn Og Vatnið.
    Þannig Líður Dagurinn.
    Sjálfur Kominn Um Borð, Var Farinn Að Berjast Við Bæjarlækinn Sem Hafði Þegar Deytt Svo Margar.
    Ég Næ Ekki Andanum Og Þyngist Við Hverja Öldu.
    Mér Vantar Kraftaverk Því Ég Er Að Drukkna Syndir.
    Ég Reyni Að Komast Um Borð. Ég Dreg Í Land Og Bjarga Því Sjálfum Mér Aftur Á Bakkann.
    Á Heitan Stein Ég Legg Mig Og Læt Mig Þorna Aftur.
    Ég Kasta Mér Út Í Hylinn Og Reyni Að Hala Flugurnar Inn Áður En Seiðin Ná Til Þeirra Þar Sem Þær Berjast Við Strauminn Og Vatnið.
    Gustur, Allur Ennblautur.
    Frakkur Finnur Hvernig Báturinn Er Kominn Úr Mesta Straumnum Og Landið Smám Saman Nálgaðist.
    Hann Bæði Um Borð Í Sjó Og Landi Bjargandi Flugunum Sem Farast Hér.
    Þó Sér Í Lagi Sjálfum Sér.
    Eilíft Stríð Og Hvergi Friður.
    En Það Verður Einhver Að Fórna Sér.
    Dagarnir Eru Langir.

    Damn right OP, once some of those points expire you should definitely celebrate and stick it to law and other road users. It'll never happen to you after all.

    Look mom, Im in an 'I want to dodge my penalty points' thread!

    OP: doughnuts will wear down your tyres, and thus your car will not be able to handle as well. True, with optimal conditions, it may, but with bald tyres... no. You'll attempt to swerve around something, end up hitting it, crash, and wrap your car around the lamp post.

    got 6 for doing donuts at a rally, rest for speeding and dangerous driving - impreze sti :( - power is so tempting to use lol


    How can you get points for doing a doughnut?

    Its not like the law even know what donoughts are either, especially since you say you did them at a rally.

    And you have a 4 Wheel Drive car. I don't believe you did a Doughnut. You really need a Rear Wheel Drive car to do it anyway(unless you have a non standard suspension set up and an adjustable centre differential, and the Scooby does not have that AFAIK, its afeature usually found on 4X4s). Its not impossible to do it, but highly unlikely, and with a 4WD car the power bias should be at the back(and the power bias in the Impreza like all Subarus is 50:50) for a doughnut.

    With any luck I'll be the one to give him his full 12 points. :D

    When he says "Rally", I'm guessing he means, "Big pile of idiots gathering together in a public place without permission in order to wave their car penises at eachother".

    It was after a rally(some street racing etc..)

    yes its awd - its got a switch to make it rear wheel drive(well 85-15). The switch was added on before it was imported(jap car)

    "power bias in the Impreza like all Subarus is 50:50 " - Thats wrong - the sti versions have adjustable ratios -mine doesnt(switch just added) but the newer ones do -

    And after reading what i said earlier, It made no sense to me eitheir for a while, I typed taht before i went to bed cause the eyes sores me across the wrong way. buts its funny that you mention how fast the cat wwas in the junction, could it possible the jober sudge was found?

    :rolleyes:

    You're taking the mickey now, aren't you?

    Is this sense of humour a method you use to try to cover up what a pillock you are? You even seem to be proud of your points, proud of your doughnuts, proud of being dangerous. Does it give you some great sense of power?


  • Registered Users, Subscribers Posts: 13,501 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    465 points in LC?

    11 points for driving?

    You cant use your Penalty Points for the CAO. Although, maybe 12 points will get you a very good course...

    The law doesn't say not to test your 0-60 speed on a public road, but that doesn't mean it's a safe or clever thing to do. It's a dangerous, idiotic, "look at the size of my c*ck" sort of thing which deserves all the penalty points he got. Why would you think he wouldn't get penalty points for dangerous driving? I suppose it's made it clearer now that he said he was street racing as well, which also confirmed the idea that there's not a whole lot going on in that incredibly dim head of his. It's massive twats like that who have my insurance through the roof and are killing their equally sh1t-brained friends in crashes while cruising around at 3am.

    Aha. Now I see why. If you're dumb enough to get caught then you have to deal with the consequences.

    Anyway if you want to f**k up your car then best of luck with the old doughnuting.

    Well the STis may have an adjustable power bias, but the rest of them don't AFAIK.

    Its still easier to doughnut in a rear wheel drive car.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 113 ✭✭sticky9cd


    its the same thing - actually its much better donuts in the sti as its way faster cause the front wheels are spinning too but its harder to get the car into the donut in the 1st place-=

    and most imprezas dont have diff control but can be added on easily - afaik the new sti's have them standard for fuel economy
