This and the Ford Falcon were more or less the default vehicle for families in Australia for several decades, so unless you were towing a double horse float, good chance anything being towed was getting towed behind one of these two. 

Peugeot too (at least the 406 definitely did).

Ooh, this is nice

E-series is another good reference, agree, covering a slightly longer time frame. Shows the general improvements in handling, increased complexity, increased size. Power increased also, if looking at average across the fleet.

Yeah, have to agree.

I was looking for any mentions in the article or comments regarding a possible solution to Torch’s Cars theories.

I...did not see this response coming. The Tickford is a nice selection though.

Starting a combustion engine may well be the lightest load on a battery in modern cars. The myriad electrical systems throughout the car actually put a pretty heavy load cycle on the battery.

This kind of threw me off, like a test where all the answers are 'A'. 

“... And no one had to justify said opinion...”

No practical 3D printing experience, but if you printed the wheels separately (and printed them lying down with spokes at bottom) and included an axle to attach them to, you could probably avoid a lot of that support structure, plus get spinning wheels!

I read the post as too early to draw conclusions on these specific incidents, but (separate sentence), a seeming increase in frequency of vehicle attacks and attempts to loosen laws around such acts could (which remains a word indicating possibility rather than an assertion) suggest a troubling future pattern.

So this is the corner that used to be North Turn?

To be fair, the badge-work seems like it was pretty well executed.

I honestly thought Jason would address these more fickle extensions.

Wasn’t for position this time, but he managed another grass pass this year as he rounded a corner to see a car blocking the line.

Like most hyper cars, these aren’t likely (one really hopes) to be maxed out on the road. They’re toys so rich owners can say their car theoretically goes faster than their friend’s toy.

To be fair, it’s not stated that the restriction is technical (ie. Overloading batteries, cabling or controllers). If I had to guess, it’s artificially limited to 1. Add interest/strategy about when to deploy and 2. Keep battery life sufficient for the race distance.

Yeah, I think all the really stupid stuff that wasn’t road legal even under the fairly lax US standards was removed before handing them over properly.

At first glance I thought they were sponsored by ‘Meat for Hire’. And really, the meat is only ever with us temporarily (well, depends how much you eat, I guess).
