If no one (including pedestrians) is at risk, the road is wide and long enough, and you know how to handle your car, then no, it's not reckless. I'd say recklessness is more related to irresponsibility and putting other's lives at risk than simply breaking the law.

Call me nuts but for some reason that doesn't sound all that silly to me.

Or using a TVR Tasmin as a DD in the Argentinean countryside.

The NYPD is up in arms over an anonymous driver by the name of Afroduck claiming to have lapped Manhattan in a record-breaking and very illegal 24 minutes. How long would it take a sane human being to do the same drive?

I don't know, man. I was just predicting someone wouldn't get it.

The point of the article was to be a joke.

Just because you're paying cash doesn't mean it'll be expensive, jeez. Even if you have to pay $12,000 for a full-on race car, that's piss cheap compared to E30s and Miatas. Also, you know as much about Panthers as I do about ballet, similarly to that Conor dude.
Also, I didn't call you an idiot, I said you must be…

I'll take the GMC because of the simpler, more business-ready grille.

Sure, because "spending some money" implies losing shitloads of cash. You must be retarded, which is probably why you think there's a difference between Dumbasscrats and Republicunts.

The UK is only a bad place to have a car if compared to a gearhead heaven like the Isle of Jersey or the USA. I'd rather be a car buyer there than in any other EU country, by far.

Yeah, cars are fucking overpriced there, and RHD regulations don't help.

Portugal. Besides the strong taxes over fuel (e.g. unleaded costs €1.5 a litre), the taxes over car displacement make it a complete horror. We see GTIs for €40,000, Camaros for €100,000 (I shit you not), ZR1s for €200,000, STIs for €75,000...basically, it's impossible to buy an interesting car new. Even Dacias sell…

Holy shit, car design is going to hell in a handbasket.

*facepalms*

Of course genius, no one sane would want to experience a Defender in a racetrack. I bet that if Maurice Wilks had read your post he'd smash your head with a skrewdriver. My point wasn't that old cars are necessarily good around a track. My point was that older platforms allow development. Continuous…

"...a former crime beat reporter..."
Explains a lot. In the good sense of the word, though.

Authorities haven't said whether the suspect has a connection to the dealership or not. Maybe he's just a Ram guy pissed about the Cummins thing.

So basically Thatcher and Reagan could be very well responsible for Colin Chapman's death. Man, what has been thought cannot be unthought.

Flappy paddles are basically digital transmission commands. They operate on similar principles as a manual transmission, with two differences: you don't clutch and, as you noted, they're not directly linked to the transmission.
I believe newer ones are wire activated, but older ones are hydraulic.

Got sources for that? Because all of mine say it's a Gen III.

Thanks for confirming what I was suspecting since your first post. Namely, that you're an ignorant armchair expert who doesn't know shit about what he's talking about.
HP/L has no real meaning whatsoever, you're just showing how little you know about cars by bringing it up. In fact, there was a great post recently…
