I find that they love their speed moments which are becoming less as the authorities allow less and less autobahn miles for the Michael Coultard/ Hamilton bunch.

Who is Michael Coultard?

** The Jupiter Ace was a chimera of design between a ZX81 and a ZX Spectrum, produced by Jupiter Cantab, a company set up by two of the design team involved in both the ZX 81 and ZX Spectrum.

It utilised FORTH as it's high level language, rather than BASIC, but of course shared the same Zilog Z80A processor, so the machine code is the same

Do I get a prize for most "off topic" post in thread

No, but you do win the title "Geek of theWeek".

Well Andrew, I was 13 years old when the Jupiter Ace hit the market, and I'd already obtained a 16k Spectrum earlier in the year, so wasn't able to afford two computers.

However Jeanette Fraser did own one, and let's just say there was considerable interest feigned in programming in "Forth"........nothing to do with the fact she was a petite blonde, with some fairly interesting aspects


I digress once more, memory lane attack

Mind you I could see Maninder on a BMW r75, "scraping the pots" on the twisties

'98 Brian, the only Busa's in existance were behind closed doors.

I have ridden a hayabusa on a couple of occasions, the best bike ever for controlled wheelies at 90mph it was so forgiving.. much better that the R1 that tried to kill me numerous times!!
