Yes indeed. I did not specify it into my requirements list, my bad, sorry. And excuse me, you want to stick a v8 into a miata if I understand correctly? Damn, will that even fit?

I see where you are coming from, but the problem is that the tax difference between an 19 year old 6l v8(for example) and a 20 year old 6l v8 is about 1900euros/year. Once a car gets above 20 years of use they become much cheaper to own and it does not matter how much hp/cc the car has, it becomes a flat fee:) And I…

Wow, great tips. The original mini's/500's might be just a tad to small (and expensive for good ones) and the jaguar xj /mercedes w123 might be a tad too big :) The first generation cellica is a good idea and i love the Nissan 280Z(nissan s130) and apparently in Europe only the naturally aspirated versions were…

Can I ask a question to you and all the jalops? I have a daily driver(kind of a boring one 118d, but hey it's leased by the company I work for), 2 motorcycles (NO, MINE, do not touch ;) ). The maintenance on my motorcycles is done by me and I have an extensive set of tools for doing said maintenance. I have never…

I am guessing your computer flipped or you made a mistake. 4 times a the same reply and it does not make sense. I never said Shoei and arai cooked up snell testing... I think you must mistake me with somebody else

Brian Cooley just went over the technological benefits of the SM in his cnet on cars episode 47(a top five around the 19:15 mark). Made me think of this conversation and thought it might be of interest to you:)

If you want your car to stand out from the crowd, there isn't a much better way than lime green.

I would have smacked the prius guy in the face. It's a ferrari!!!! You buy it for the pleasure of driving, a prius is to get from a to b. If I wanted a prius, I could have bought 6 of them for the price of a cheap ferrari.

NO, just, NO

Well, maybe they will pull it of? That would be dreadful. But I like the way you are thinking.

damn me and my genius brain, even when i try to invent a crappy idea, I invent a great one :) Ok second try at a retarded and utterly useless invention: tiny sweaters for unicorns, damnit, but it must be plausible, soow, euhm help?

might I propose we announce we are working on something retarded, like a self driving toilet that follows you so that you can shit anywhere, and see how long it takes for china to copy it?

isn't that kinda bad for your first gear? I was learned to never shift in 1 gear when the car was rolling. Correct me if i am wrong

I do not think it 25%. I am even guessing if you look right ahead, you would barely see it. I think you have to move your eyeballs down and to the right(where you would normally see your hand(that is what i mean) to see the screen. Much like I do not see my mirrors until I move my eyeballs so that i can see what is…

yes, I agree, something is wrong with helmets laws, but the basic principles is sound. It's just the implementation that is flawed -> we need new people in politics instead of the old folks.

hold on, I never said you did not ride geared up, but you are against helmet laws, so an assumption could be made you did not, I still wish you all the luck in never having an accident where you would need your gear. I also drive fully geared up.

See it as a way too explain evolution to your kid. They are not smart people, they do not adapt to a certain situation(in this case riding a motorcycle), what happens to species that do not adapt well, yes they die off, just like these people will probably die.

sorry, i just saw your post(still getting used to the new kinja), but i think my post still stands.

I think nobody is proposing law that would make you buy this. Much like nobody is proposing a law that would make a gps navigator compulsory. But people use them because it has proven itself much easier than a paper map.

how often is there something worth noting where you would normally see your hand on the throttle? I mean, I gladly create a blindspot where I would normally see my hand(which i know is on the throttle) to be able to see that ginormous blindspot behind me. The same can be said for mirror. They create a blindspot, but…
