He gave it a BIG serve off from the lights, which was nice

they don't record speed it's just for traffic monitoring, although it does seem a bit on the obsessive side i reckon they are there to capture evidence for any accidents that occur (?). don't know why else you'd need so many

the fact that the R35 runs a twin-clutch manual makes it capable of being even faster than it should be at the track given how much it weighs (that, and the very well thought out weight distribution) any circuit (or even drag) racing that involves lots of gearchanging sees the 35 saving crucial tenths over a manual every time you change gears. not much per change, yes- but over multiple corners, and say- multiple laps- for an enduro, it really starts to add up in a major way. shame it takes away a pleasant layer of interaction that any enthusiast enjoys while driving (ie- changing your own gears at a direct mechanical level, with the ability to skip from say, 5th to 2nd in one motion if you want, rather than sequentially). it's not all about how fast you can maul a racetrack as for power, well- how much do you want to spend? I'm sure the VR38 is capable of some fairly startling amounts of power given enough re-engineering (even more than the wildest RB's to date), but the cost would be off the planet. every serious upgrade for the 35 is big-ticket, and probably will be for a fair while yet

maybe it has twin energy polarizers

Still, they could always just get whichever newb to crash at a time fortuitous for the team come race day

.19- nearly 4 times the legal limit for an unrestricted driver had he not crashed, and been caught speeding instead, there's every chance he would have been given gaol time

now he can devote full concentration to WDC #2

so many ppl crapping on about the door strakes it's only a development mule guys. door strakes died with the Ferrari 512TR and 348

over-ambitious?

Well, I'm betting it will have a twin-clutch manual. The tech is already well tested inside the Audi group in a heap of different things, and it's one of the biggest ways to get the cars to record lower results on the Euro combined/city cycle testing (CO2/km and L/100 etc), as the test rules treat these trannys as 'automatics' giving a much more favourable result over full-manual 'boxes by allowing the test to be run in whatever gear the box selects in 'D' (ie- the highest gear possible). The CO2 thing is a huge deal in Europe and the UK (cars pay annual roadtax according to CO2 per km output in the UK and elsewhere), so I can't see them not going down that road.

gagf

either way, I'm supremely confident I won't be embarking on any shirt-eating escapades

I'll eat my shirt with the condiment of your choice if this choad ends up getting his (invalid) policy claim honoured by his insurer

The tyres are an irrelevance. The whole claim is dead in the water on the basis of him not supposed to have been in control of the vehicle on a public road in the first place. It's the same reason your policy becomes null and void if you're in an accident while DUI- You weren't legally allowed to be in control of the vehicle at the time of the crash. I don't see why some people on here can't grasp such a simple concept.

Epic page

Only the good die young

snowflake's chance in hell his insurance company will just point out he wasn't by law supposed to be driving, refund him the pro rata'd balance of his premium, and then say smell ya later end of story

that S15 fitment is secks-u-wahl undriveable, but completely jizztastic

'nvh' noise, vibration and harshness

leaning forward to press the monitor change button really takes it outta ya

Why would that fat doosh even want back in anyway? He'll be having little-lunch in on his own in the sand pit you can bet.

where the M7 crosses the M4 at Eastern Creek

they really should put the light fittings on top of those looks really dumb with the wires just hangin' out

yeah, I'm sure I've had to put up with more shit than a whole bunch of forum members no-ones been stupid enough to get out of their car and abuse me for their stupidity though... yet I've got a nice big aluminium maglite ready for whenever someone feels in the mood for some attitude correction...

must... resist... urge... to... rant... about... retarded... drivers... seriously, i'd never stop if i even start
