  2. You want cars.....?

    KTM X-Bow We love the fact that this wild-looking KTM car came about after a bunch of enthusiastic engineers from KTM decided to build a fun sports car. Usefully, they had some friends at nearby Audi who came up with the powerplant - the 236bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged unit that's found under...

    20mph zones!

    I live in Portsmouth and as some of you may be aware they are aiming to be the first city to implement new driving regulations which would mean a reduction of speed from 30mph to 20mph around residential areas. I live in Southsea and this would be one of the affected areas and I can understand...

    Memories - Old Pier Trains

    As a result of reading another thread on the Pub I've suddenly turned into an Anorak Pier Article These were proper pier trains and I can still remember the way they shook as they hurtled down the track. At top  speed (I'd guess 40-50 mph) there was a definite melodic rythm to them.   The...

    Single Greatest Moment

    Watching Southend for me is a real rollercoaster. Sometimes uncontrollable highs and another time undescribable lows. But what is the single best feeling you have ever had when supporting Southend? For me it was the Juppy's goal. All the way to Cardiff (again) I just had visions of us...

    If time travel existed...

    I'm giving you a fully charged flux capacitor, a rusty Dolorean and enough road to get up to 88mph. Where are you going? I'm going to 1789 to watch a pack of French bakers and candle-stick makers tear France apart in an orgy of violence that would lead to the public execution of the...
