    fking manufacturers should be required by law to reduce weight of their cars
    AtW: Actually, manufacturers are required by law to increase the weight of their cars. Most road cars would be considerably lighter, more efficient, and probably safer if it were for many of the legal requirments. Examples like catalytic converters, which not only weigh, cost a fortune, serve to burn more fuel hence creating more pollution and their manufacture leads to destruction of lots of environment.

      Fortune Green: It has been long since shown that a nice curvey shape is wonderful if you are going in a straight line with a head or tail wind. The problems start with corners and the wind gusting from any other direction...

        Is that why you've got windbreaks on your trainers?

            Lucifer Box: When you've owned a good few lambos one gets to know it is only sensible to park in the disabled spots.

            Fortune Green: They, one hopes, already know. Concept cars released for view by the public are intended for discussion. A quite easy way to provoke such a discussion is to do something pretty stoopid.

            There again, Audi made such an "obvious" mistake with the TT ...

            Maybe that's why my clients pay me so much: what to most engineers is a complex problem I generally quickly find a trivial solution ( and then spend the rest of the contract surfing ).

              like the last time, until the french protest first (and the english see it on tv), then the english never will protest again.

              one doesn't like to cause a scene first, one waits 'till somebody else does then one joins in (sounds almost french )

              unfortunately £1 a litre doesn't mean anything in Europe.

              The Europeans are still getting over 1 Euro a Litre.
