It's all in the formatting.

I hear the throttle on these is quite sensitive, almost like a hair trigger.

Every time Gangzoom posts a Tesla thread, God kills a kitten.

I hope they throw the book at them all. Utter cretins, they ruin everything for the rest of us. This is why car meets are banned in the West Country! Tbh though, why did the people with them not tell them they're being idiots? These things should self-police a bit more, not just turn a blind eye because it's their mate doing it.

Not if it's wrong

If it wasn't the sad fact that many people have died, this would be totally awesome. But they have, so it's not.

Thats not what I said though is it Dan? Well, yeah, it is actually. You said that if someone wants to talk about Topic X then they should go to Forum Y where that's all they talk about. Using that logic, each forum should only be about one subject ever. I do agree that one thread is enough, that's why really the Mods should be merging these threads together. Or Gangzoom can stop posting new ones!

Be nice to give it a full-bore start.

So we should only ever talk about Zeds on here then? Nope, sorry mate, I'm not with you on that. I love motoring full stop, and even though I'm sick of multiple electric car threads I'd actually be quite happy with one mega thread about the subject. Give us the one place to debate it all, rather than go back and forth,

OOH BUBBLE WRAP

Taste is optional around that part of the world.

Cool idea Is that not a little unstable when you sit on it though? A lot of the weight will be near the edge of the wheel base when you sit back.

Institute Of Rubber Studies, Non-Sex Campus. The guys on the other campus had much more fun.

Sapporo or nothing. Still the finest beer I've ever tasted*, shame it's so damn pricey. *Excluding Irish Harp, which was the nectar from the gods when I was at college.

Maybe we're all looking at this wrong. Maybe it's actual elements themselves they start with. Or the individual protons, neutrons and electrons! Man, I have no idea where they actually stop.

Given the amount of idiots who show off in their cars around that at that time of year, I'd suggest that was exactly the right place for the police to be.

Probably just about okay then, depending on the exact tyre make and model.

Even if the weight was the same, the rigidity would've been massively improved by the cage. That's a huge performance boost. No chance that was a standard engine, Honda had too much relying on the time to take a chance. Blueprinted at the very least, if not with the wick turned up. Look at the lengths Seat had to go to just to catch the Renault, Honda haven't produced anything decent for years so to expect them to crack it at the first attempt by playing it 100% is a tad naive. Even if they'd come within a couple of seconds that's would've been a great achievement, but too many people buy cars based on Ring times these days sadly, so it was either beat the time at all costs or lose sales. Maybe I'm just a bit cynical, but that's how I see it. Same way I don't think the P1 beat the 918 round there, there's too much face to lose if you don't trump it.

What tyres are they?

Don't be so bloody silly. They obviously start from the dust cap! Honestly, youth these days, they just don't think anything through.

It did have a cage, and the AC and rear seats removed. It was also a prototype too, so likely sticky tyres and a dollop of extra power.

Just so we're clear, there is NOTHING in the MOT manual that specifies how far a wheel or tyre can protrude past the arch. However, it does specify the tyre must be seated on the rim correctly, so tyres outside of manufacturer spec should fail. You can also come a-cropper under the Construction And Use Regs, which is a far more complex piece of legislation to check through. Suffice to say the pics above would probably fail the MOT under the manufacturer rule, and possibly break the C&U regs too. Whether you'd be picked up on it by the MOT guy or a TrafPol is another story. Probably not, in all honesty, and I've seen worse. I'll refrain from my usual rant about just buying stuff that fits properly...

Exactly. Nowhere near the quoted time, I bet. But, oh look! You can't set records any more due to the speed limit. Well, isn't that fortunate.

*awaits people claiming you can't put a CatB car back on the road* (EDIT, SteveM beat me to the post!) I'm not sure it'd bother me in the slightest, although I'd definitely change the plate in case someone came looking!
