CPL doesn't allow you to carry more than X number of passengers. Dunno how many X is tho.

I'll have you know that number 3 is approaching 19000km in 9 months. bitches.

Sorry - typo,

Should read 12 hours, 17 mins and 5.9 seconds each.

19000kms in 37 (ish) hours - that's an average of 513kph... sounds about right for you on a Gixxer... no?

Edit - ignore that... tired brain no reading shit right...

So its a diet of small SUV's and Daihatsu Miras now, is it? Shit - even our (Opel) Barina will do 110 mph (just)

I think Porsche and Vw and a few others are ruining your 100MPH SUV thing.

My mate put a V8 in to his Hilux and that does that easily as well.

Good news on the Hamster though, cant wait for the next series.
