From the point of view of ‘leaving regular life behind to rebuild yourself’, I can heartily approve.

Allegedly, one of the cars one year at (I think Le Mans), lost the fan - the fastening came loose or something. The story I was told is that people watching saw the fan take off - straight up at great speed, and it went so high they lost sight of it... and it was never seen again!

oh - and while we’re on the subject of noise... this was probably the single defining moment in the birth of this particular jalop...

OMG THAT NOISE!!!

I’d be seriously tempted if they made an up to date Cappuccino.

Oh man.... really??

Aah memories...

Lovely to see overproof rum being used.

French Pinto?

Question is: does it have enough capacity to fulfil the requirement?

28mph = 45 kilometres per hour, both of which are ‘under’ the general urban speed limit.

It could be that the computer glasses are merely cutting down on the glare from a bright screen, thus reducing simply the amount of light hitting your eyes and thus reducing eye strain and headaches.
But until someone specifically tests that, we won’t really know.
I too find that orange tinted glasses help a little,…

I used to be slightly involved in patent drafting in the UK, (my brother still is), and it’s my understanding that in the UK, prior art is something that must be considered before the patent is even applied for, and the examiner will refuse to register the application if it’s not done properly.

Yup. They’re build to be driven and to race. Let them fulfil their existence, otherwise they are simply a waste of resources.  That goes for all products.  Nothing makes me sadder than seeing a vehicle parked up unused.

Interesting, thanks. Things like that are extremely rare in the UK and only ever in very rural places on tiny roads. Otherwise every junction has some sort of indication of which is the major and minor roads at that junction (major roads have traffic priority).

How do you define ‘uncontrolled’?

“If everyone just keeps flowing through the roundabout, you don’t have to worry about some fool who doesn’t understand that you’re supposed to yield to the right and let everyone take turns.”

Yes, they’ll look, point and stare, and sometimes covet, but rarely will they actually buy something that is radically different to the norm.

Serious answer:

“Are we, culturally programmed to reject things that look different?”
