  • daft things you do in the car 23 Aug 2006 (Forum)
    I think it was one of the Radio 1 DJ's that had a slot that included the silly things you did in the car. For example, there was one chap that wouldn't allow himself to breathe when he drove through the Blackwall Tunnel & got quite ratty if he was foiled. I know i've got some..anyone else?
