    staggeringly amazing.

    Wheelies are an art - you can either do them properly or you can't. There is however a time and a place and on public roads with other road users, pedestrians or a pillion is neither time or place... I am with Charlie on the daughter scenario too, I don't have children but if I did, I would...

    Could easily be one of us.

    I was a passenger in Nadine/Bjorn's GT2 Comp Coupe Viper a couple of years back and after they had removed the rear wing in an attempt to make it more slippery, every time we passed 165mph the rear would break loose and start the car waggling its arse-end... Which was 'interesting' This year...

    Electromotive Inc - Do they still exist?

    Yeah - I'll try one or two tomorrow night (UK) and see how I fare. Just a bit annoying that the mfr are not answering - little point having a technical support facility if it's not staffed.

    Electromotive Inc - Do they still exist?

    Well - I am guessing yes - but they sure are difficult to speak to. I've been working on an Electromotive Tec GT install and have had a few issues. I've tried the US support number - 703 331 0100 and the technical enquiry option (2) cuts you off. Selecting 'Operator' (0) puts you...

    ECU Alternatives..

    Hi all - I'm looking at options to manage an Audi 4.2 V8 motor at the moment. The motor has variable cam timing and I was thinking Motec M800 but wondered if anyone has any other suggestions. Thanks...

    Jokes anyone? -

    PUNS FOR THE MORE INTELLECTUAL... Sorry if posted previously, last one is my fave... 1. The fattest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference. He acquired his size from too much pi. 2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical...

    Trapped Chilean Miners.

    Isn't their pressure environment effectively atmospheric as they have a smaller vent to them for breathing air?... In which case would it not be like climbing 2000ft or so in 20 mins? - a brisk drive up a mountain road? Or am I missing something? I always presumed the bends in diving...

    gt40 at 170mph

    Yep - sure sounds good that...:thumbsup: I had Roy's Mk1 GTD40 up to just over 183mph a couple of months back and was kind of surprised just how stable it was at speed. Just wish we'd had a video running at the speed trap now cos I suspect it sounded better on the outside than in. Given...

    Yep - I'll second that Pete... And as for the chap who jumps out the plane without a parachute....:eek: He must seriously trust those around him.

    Turbos 'down under'....??

    Ok - not GT40 related at all this one.. But a friend is interested in turbocharging his GSX1400 but lives in Brisbane, Australia. A company has offered to carry out the conversion but is being somewhat coy about whether the resulting ride will be road legal or not. It seems the powers...
