I can't sleep either when I'm excited, if I were you I'd set off now and take it steady and stop for plenty of coffee breaks.

I had two cans of Relentless in about 24 hours and it did bad things to me. Even though I was living a funny un-settled lifestyle at the time which didn't help.

Red Bull doesnt really touch me unless i have about 5 tins of it. Relentless keeps me well awake though, 2 tins of that and it keeps me awake for Hrs.

I like the Juiced one.

no mate that got sold last week. i kept looking at it everyday thinking bout it but the main reason i wanted a bm was for everyday comfort. and that thing was an old skool badboy with power and small weight to wrap it round a lampost within minutes in my hands lol. i got a black e36 328i sport in the end

although ive already made the rear tyres into near slicks within 2 days. first rwd car ive had and im loving it

I remember the night before I picked up my cos. I was more nervous about having that much cash in the house to worry about the car! It's really something special the pace of that car. Enjoy it and be careful, don't bend it in the way home!

Its great doing a road trip for a new toy

I went to Horsham for my previous saph cossie from Scotland .............driving home at 60mph not hammering it a single bit untill i serviced it and mate checked it over, set it up and changed all the sensors, dizzy leads etc etc to make sure it was more reliable

Was like a dog with 2 cocks driving home with my dream car

thing is though , all these drinks are poor imitations of red bull flavour wise. if your wanting some life a cup of strong coffee is better.

its not just the caffine though that keeps you alert its the other stuff too

i take ginsyn tablets and biblicoa or something aswell as a glass of berocca each morning as i have a quick pased job thats very stressfull at times

i also drink monster the low carb one as relentless was getting boring, i drink around 2 cans per day of the stuff as i find it stops me feeling tired/brain fried

ask anyone whos been with me how much energy drinks i have, when i go tp the ring i take enough for 3 cans a day as i need one in the morning just to wake up

spiky if it helps when working thats not a issue tbh, without them i find i cant be arsed to do anything if that makes sence, addiction is a strong word though, its more of a pick me up

oh and im up at 5:30 each morning with my missus getting our little one ready for school and leave the house at just after 7 then back home at 6ish before going to the gym

depends on the work your doing i guess
