because it's frosty and the roads maintenance people seem not to have noticed. They've not gritted the main roads so it's a bit icy, and the woman in the car two ahead of me kept braking when she came to a slippery bit, not realising that it's probably the worst thing you can do.

The beast is my car - a dirty-looking Jaguar S-Type R, with a couple of minor modifications (smaller supercharger pulley and a remapped ECU) to give a nice healthy 478bhp. Hence calling it the beast.
It hasn't got any frickin' lasers though - that would be awesome.

It's dirty looking as in not been cleaned for 12 weeks. To be fair though, it's a dark metallic grey so it doesn't actually look much different when it's clean.
I'm moving house next month though to somewhere a bit more expensive. Continuing to fuel the beast may become an impractical luxury, so I may have to accept that I've had my 3 years of V8 fun and move on to something a bit more sensible.

I recommend a ford KA. Mine has served me very well so far and it's dead cheap to run. I get around 35 MPG out of it without any real effort to drive economically.

If I'm driving like Mother Teresa, I can just about crack 21mpg in the Jag.
Thraping it and making frequent visits to the redline (which is unavoidable with a V8 - you do it just for the noise) sees consumption in the 10-14mpg range.
Try as I might, I just don't 'do' small cars though. I suspect the Jag's replacement will still be something large and big engined, but powered by one of Dr Diesel's evil inventions.
Edit: k2 - take a look at a used Volvo V70 D5. They're £stuid cheap at auction and come with a fairly decent 185bhp diesel engine, which sounds much less tractor-like than the BMW 4-pot.

Is that you should do something like blocking off the most common exit to see how people deal with it. Perhaps stand there after setting it off saying "I'm a fire, burn, burn, I'm a very hot fire, run away"

use an actual fire to block off the exit.
Much more fun. And realistic too...

I've tried pretty much every kind of stupid wine you can imagine.

a failed attempt to grow tomatoes some time in the 80s, my dad decided to make some green tomato wine.
Predictably, it was utterly vile, so the remainder of the bottle got tipped down the sink.
Over the years, we forgot about the other 15 bottles nestling away at the back of the under-stair cupboard. In 2005, 16 years since the aborted tomato crop, I rediscovered the abominable liquid. I uncorked a bottle to remind myself just how foul it was, just for old time's sake.
Bizarrely, it appears that age did a very good thing to this particular stuff. It had become slightly more viscous, and had an aroma and taste not dissimilar to port. It also tasted as though the alcohol content had considerably increased.
I worked my way through most of the bottles that summer, but I've kept 4 to open at later dates.

a 50th birthday party last year (yes I have friends that old!) and the birthday girl produced several bottles of sloe gin and distributed them round the tables.
