The Elise seats make a big difference I guess. My ‘60s Alfa Spider was fine for long journeys and daily driving mechanically but the low backed seats were just godawful.

Hence the modifier ‘surprisingly’. It’s common enough that airlines have rules regarding cockpit occupancy to guard against its occurrence.

Are the horses in America overweight as well? Most 16HH and up non draught horse are around 1800-2200 lbs.

I see a sailboat.

Yeah, I think it looks more like it took design cues from the 90s RX-7 than the 90s Supra.

Which you then replaced at an exorbitant mark-up in the airside pharmacy? Funny how that works.

Until the pilot flies the plane into a mountain. Death by suicidal pilot is surprisingly common.

And will be much easier in Miami traffic.

I’m curious (and know nothing about how manufacturers or regulators set them) but do tow and payload rating calculations take into account braking capacity?

So you’re in Australia too, huh?

Yes, you're right, that was hyperbole. I suppose what I was getting at is that there is very little mixing of cultures/races in the same way I see in the UK.

Wouldn’t ‘unsold inventory’ be a more meaningful measure of a car’s desirability? If 170 NSXs are the total inventory then it’s a 100% sales success. If Ford makes 2m F150s but only sells 850k then it bombed.

everyone No-one looks cool in them, whether you’re a tech millionaire or just a working stiff like the rest of us.

Thank you. As a mixed race Brit who moved to Sydney a few years I find the racism here to be endemic, all-pervading and simply accepted with a shrug or the utterly spurious excuse of “oh that’s just our way/it’s just matey banter”. It’s the casual nature and acceptance of it which is so dangerous even if it doesn’t…

“WARNING: structural failure of road sign imminent.”

But the signs on the gantry in the background appear identical in form to the one which collapsed in Melbourne i.e. attached at the bottom only. I think yours might be an apples to oranges comparison.

Actually you’re most likely to die of boredom here.

That happened to me. Fortunately it went through the windscreen on the passenger side (which was empty) and not on my side. You get over it. I had in fact forgotten about it until I read your post.

If they haven’t built it, and only have an animation of it in action then it’s not a concept, it’s a cartoon.

Stratos?
