easy, misjudge te amount of travel of the pedal for a certain acceleration, wheels spin wildly and control is lost. Hey, I did not say he didn't do something stupid and that he wasn't a spoiled guy, however, I see no real evidence, thus all I know for sure is that a p1 is totaled (which is bad) and nobody got…

it hurts to see a beautiful car being destroyed, but remember, even with less powerful cars(ie normal cars) it is often the first days/miles that are the most dangerous. You do not really know how everything works, you do not really know what the limits and reactions of the car will be on certain inputs by you or by…

dunno having owned a 3-banger motorcycle, I can tell you that with the right tweaking they can sound, not great, but not bad . However, the power with my 500lbs motorcycle wasn't super, I can only imagine that with a 2500lbs car, the power must be abysmal

fair enough, some might call that a design flaw, others might call it a bit odd. Considering this flaw I am guessing there weren't many return customers... on the account most getting killed and whatnot

There's a number or radial engined choppers out there but none are as crazy as the Megola with its front wheel mounted radial engine. It had to be started on a stand with the front wheel up because the 14 hp motor applied power directly to the wheel.

I find this industry strange. I mean, when I walk into a grocery store, I do not begin to haggle over the price of a can of tomato soup. No I pay MSRP... Yes most stores offer discounts on certain items, but it is mostly the stores that compete with each other over the customers and try to give the best prices. Why…

Since when is it ok to punch/push somebody when they do not want to look you in the eye? He is on probation so he tries to get away from a possible fight. Regardless if he is a danger on the track, that is for nascar officials to make out when or if to sanction him, but drivers do NOT punch each other. What you want…

they are enthused about the products they are trying to sell, you got to give them that

Park a Ford F-150 Platinum next to a BMW 535i and ask strangers which they think is more expensive. I'll bet most will say the BMW, even though both are around $55-60k, which makes a top trim pickup a serious sleeper luxury car.

this is something that should be shown when you first boot up a mobile device

bmw did it with tire squeel, (at least when you see one of the last corners you see rubber being burned) and with a bit of curbing(through bentley). So meh

so it has a tank that is 20 liters larger? That metric means shit unless you are going to be driving in very remote areas where gas station are 300 miles apart , otherwise it means shit.(I did get the sarcasm in your post, it's just that ad agency's seem to be run by morons who play trump cards between models. Hey i…

top gear makes fun of everybody in the world, EVERYBODY. When they make fun of my home country I laugh if it is a good joke and shrug it of if it is a bad one. + this wasn't even an intentional joke since the plate was on there since 1991. So Argentina (or at least the people who are dipshits), grow the fuck up and…

hahaha here is to the lazy people, for they do nothing, so they also do nothing wrong :) I have never tried the hondas, but heard mixed reviews. Some liked it, others where shitting their pants because it shifted in the middle of taking a corner, so they advised to use it as a manual, but i guess it ads weight. Thats…

yeah with me too, since abs was like a 500dollar extra(sir would you like to die, no? Ok give me 500dollars, damn bmw being a greedy pig) But once an abs is installed te speedo cable should become obsolete and that is why you do not see an abs ring on this bike, because the speedo cable might fulfill the same function…

It depends. I prefer a wet clutch, but my R1100gs has a dry clutch which I have burned a bit on multiple occasions(usually city driving, the first gear clutch out is very jerky and fast, cars going at 5 kmph and me having to clutch/declutch constantly makes a recipe for disaster + it cable operated as opposed to…

I know but I got three sensors on my bike. 1 front Abs, 1 front speedo , 1 rear Abs.

there is no real need, it's even counterproductive as there is more energy loss than a single speed tranny( an electric motor usually needs a single gear reduction because it is spinning faster than is needed). It is a design decision, they opted to put a gearbox in so that the long time rider felt at home on that…

maybe the integrated it with the speedocable? I mean, I never understood why my R1100GS has a speedo cable and a rotational speed sensor. Both measure the rotation of the wheel, so I do not understand why there must be two? Altough I had my speedo brake about 1000 miles from home and the abs kept working since it are…

hey I never said they kept the britishness in the mini, but you have to admit it is a profitable company now. And with rolls royce it think they did make it profitable and keep it british. The question one must ask themselves, what is better, to loose hundreds of british jobs or to loose a bit of ownership. Because…
