To see a doughnut in your dream, represents the Self. It suggests that you may be feeling lost and still trying to find yourself and your purpose in life. Alternatively, it refers to growth, development and nurturance. You are not completely whole.

Now move on to lollipops, eights, feints, and rolls.... without the benefit of soft-pack. :)

Get a room you two! :twisted:

Doughnuts are good fun... I remember practicing those and cop-turns when I was learning :-)

I got in trouble at work once during the snow, I was parking and due to the design of the car park, the space I was trying to occupy can be awkward to get in/out of .. I managed to get in at a funny angle.. so I pulled the handbrake up, then spun the front wheels whilst steering to straighten out. My boss, who was parking somewhere else in the carpark was not amused.

I spent about an hour last night in my gangster 1993 Ford Escort LX and my friend's Jeep doing donuts and drifting. My car won't drift (you can see in the video) because my breaks don't work well (sometimes not at all). The Jeep was great fun. It had 4WD-Low so it's 4WD but it's all torque. I did a 360 in the jeep with the e-brake. :)

lol I forgot how good American accents were :)

Anyways, that doesn't look nearly half as fun as getting a nice, dry car park, stealing some McDonalds trays, putting one under each back wheel, pulling handbrake on and basically ragging the car around. I was so close to smashing my back-end into a wall last time I did that. McDonalds workers get seriously p*ssed off when you steal trays, I remember when we got caught with about >10 haha.

Funny you say that... every time I meet somebody who's British I get all happy because your accents just do that... make me happy.

EDIT (I hope that's not offensive. I told a British person that once and they got offended :oops: )

I was shocked there for a second... Daedelus' voice (not accent, voice) sounds JUST LIKE ME. Creepy!!!!

Half my family is British (accents and all) but I still enjoy the "Queen's English" whenever I hear it.

In Toronto we have something fairly close to "Television English" - very little flavour at all :-(

The one speaking in the beginning of the first video is my friend Joe. We both got stuck here at work because of the snow so we went out to have fun since the womans weren't around.
