It occured to me that 15000rpm is easily achieveable with modern production-engine technology. 1000cc motorcycles can get close to it. F1 'replica' engines anyone?

I'm not sure whether I should be surprised or ashamed that I know what the car driver said . And that it's probably the only Russian phrase I know.

It's hard to beat touchscreens for uselessness. Having driven a car with an electronic handbrake for years - and learned to drive in it - I was fine with it. Depending on the car it's worth it for the interior or floorspace.

As I recal, the AWD system fitted to the X6 was rather good. BMW as a manufacturer prides itself on driving feel and experience (Supposedly). I'd bet that whatever AWD system they come up with won't interfere with that reputation.

In Ireland, horses have right of way over all motorised traffic.

It's like STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl, with schoolgirls, mecha and - hopefully - beautifully animated backdrops.

Do go on...

It's not even a joke. It's not even a tvtropes reference. He's that bloody annoying. s a character, Scrappy-Doo added nothing to the show beyond .... I don't even know.

Scrappy.....just Scrappy.

I work for a solar company. Rather than specify 50-buck dedicated blowoff containers we use stainless-steel toilet-brush holders were get for a fiver at a nearby hardware store.

What about anti-spinners and the 'hovercar' effect? That's creepy enough to be coo

Drive it off a cliff?

Dead NA Engines?

Oh yeah. With great seats, alright handling and otherwise excellent equipment. Just needs more engine. It's still got enough torque to slog uphill at 50 in third gear - it just doesn't have the power to do anything interesting above city speeds.

This is mine. A 1.5 Renault Turbodiesel. It is, in a word, utterly anemic. Part of it is gearing. Part of it is an engine tuned to make peak torque at 1700rpm - it wheezes and puffs after about 2000 to the redline.

Road test report: Steering Vague with little to no feedback. Washy, undirected feeling,more like dangling a carrot in front of the hamster spinning the steering wheel than actually being in control of the vehicle.

There was a story about a company that offered time traveler tours - including tours to witness the crucifiction. The one requirement of the crucifiction tour, was that every traveller has to shout 'Free Barabbas' to keep from contaminating the timeline.

Hopefully, the crumple zones, airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and safety-cell.

So much yankwank.
