[QUOTE 3614081, member: 45"]Why keep on the day job at the garage? Why not take your TV earnings and live an easier life?

I dunno. I dunno. I dunno. I love it. I always like the dog to wag the tail. All right, you earn decent money on TV. But I earn decent money on me trucks. The day the TV boys get sick of me, and that day will come – course it will, you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise – what would I do then? If I was a TV presenter, I would have got in to the luxury trap. Earning mega-money. And the next thing you know they’ve sacked you. The money stops. And you’ve got a massive mortgage. And you think: “shoot. shoot.” And you have a massive breakdown. And you have to go to the Priory.

I’ve never got above my station. Nice house. Nice shed. I drive a Transit van and a Volvo Estate. I’ve never lived like a rock star. No mansion. No cocaine habit to fuel. And if everything stopped tomorrow I could quite happily live on my truck wage.[/QUOTE]
A Volvo estate that's clocked 205mph

At the end of the day these are the ones who see Clarkson et al driving like this and reinforcing opinion that this is acceptable

Pah. Only the rich get immediate protection provided following death threats, the rest of us are expected to fend for ourselves.

Ps I'm changing my first name to Raeg.

I think track days need to be opened up somehow - £200 midweek isn't exactly a teen drivers budget - it would give the nut jobs somewhere to have fun in a relatively safe environment.

Feeling what it's like to completely lose control and spin off might put a few of them off dangerous driving on the roads too.

Or nowt like ignoring reality?

A single example of a person who realises this programme is fantasy does not mean that there are not those who will see it as reality and reinforce their behaviour accordingly

THe reality is that people ARE affected by these games and programmes, uncomfortable as that may be for some

Track days are another example...

There are examples on several "petrol head" sites where drivers have quoted their track experiences as a validation for their speeding, they can drive safey at 100 mph+ on amotorway because their track experience "proves' they can drive safely at that speed!
