I know  --  but it was a completely amazing view.

I promise I'll change it for the summer when I get some pics of the car in this years format.

Just pick up a recent copy of most motoring magazines, there'll be some in there

What is the equal and oposite reaction to fruitlessly twisting the ignition key in space?

[Martin Keene]

RSI...

[Westfields Rock On]

well, the car may spin on the axis of the starter motor. unless you keep it turning. but after that it will spin for ever and you will need a sick bag.

Do you know what, that's worth seeing.

Yep when space travel comes within my grasp I'm shipping me westy off to the moon to have a go at that.

[pistonbroke]

yeah but would a dyson be able to suck up moon dust on the moon it is after all a powerful vacuum cleaner  

Only if the power chord is long enough

9.81ms = 21.94416mhp

So 60/21.94416= 0-6 in 2.7342126 seconds

or 100/21.94416= 0-100 in 4.557 seconds

So a bit quicker than my cars can do it on

In space, you don't feel fast, even when you're doing 1000 mph, so what's the point in going fast in space?

You need the wind in your hair, the Gs pushing you back in your seat, the scream of the engine at full chat, the squeal of the tyres as you over cook it on the hairpin

A Speed Series Junkie!

So we have conflicting answers of 2.75 secs, 2.72 secs and 2.734 secs  Which one is right

[neilwillis]

Take the mean, which is 2.7346667.

My 0-64ft time at Curborough was 2.64 - does that mean I'm faster than a speeding bullet?

I would like to add a statement to this thread: You lot get some help or take your medicine. Now stop it

I preferred Buzz when he was on the hard stuff!
