Pit lane speed limiter...

Here's the thing...the system is not "preventing the driven wheels from spinning under power"...it is simply selecting how the KERS system recharges the battery. What is going to happen is that, once there's enough evidence, the teams will lobby the FIA to change the rules to say that KERS charging cannot take place…

I have read everything that he authored including the non-fiction books. Two books are tied for my favourite: Red Storm Rising and Rainbow Six. While the last 4-5 books were co-written and not 100% Clancy, they were still good reads and it's unfortunate that there won't be any more. Sad to learn this news...

The first car I owned was a 1987 Coupe GT...loved the lines, the styling, interior, etc. Wished I know more about the cars and looked for a quattro with manual...oh well. I've wanted something similar but modern and this would be the closest. I like the RS5...but this is so much cooler.

Yeah, I'm a stickler for parking and will point out poor parking etiquette to others. My "rules" are these (much to my wife's puzzled looks and frustration):

No contest with this one...F1 car wins...better aero and ERS.

Nice...now I understand why McLaren didn't officially release the 7:05 for the P1 and said it was "...slow". Can't wait to see what they do next...

It is possible that's his car...

University and Dundas...His office is at 480 University.

It was this powder blue...or whatever you call it. It was not silver. It looks silver in the photo submerged in sewage (yes, it was sewage) in the tunnel beside Union station. It's the lights that are fooling you...

His office is just around the corner from mine and I had seen that Ferrari quite regularly. He parked it on the street and drove it in the winter...you could tell he was a car guy. Saw his Viper just a couple of hours ago...

Yeah...me to...and I'm at work... :-)

I dunno...something about V8 and small that doesn't mesh well for me. This is my favourite V8 (from the SLS):

True...but their availability where some of us live is quite limited. There is only one manual model of MB cars in Canada. At least Audi and BMW have a good selection...but that is diminishing each year. I'll keep on buying manuals until I can't find them any more. Or, at least not in a brand I like...

I think it's going to be very hard to top The Tumbler. Also, depending on the style and art direction of the movie, the vehicle would have to follow suit. The Nolan movies had a really cool real-world, experimental military tech feel to them and The Tumbler fit in well. To me, it's been the best incarnation of the…

Since the regulations have been tightening at Le Mans, the LMP1 cars are starting to look the same, but they're anything but. The Porsche car will be petrol powered, not diesel like the Audi, and that requires a very different bits under the skin.

I think age may be a significant contributing factor...economics second...

I never liked this approach to turn signals. How is this better than just flashing the whole thing on/off? I don't see a safety/visibility benefit...only "coolness". Can't wait to see some gimmicky hacks...
