Yeah, my last electric car was capable of a scaled up 400 kmh. The problem was, I couldn't sit in it, it ran in a slot, and I didn't have a licence, I was 13. I don't consider EV's to be cars, fast fridges maybe.

Not in nearly 20 years on my bikes. I had anodised purple ones on 3 bikes in a row. But I do check pressures every 2 weeks or so. I guess that prevented seizing.

Not sure of peak torque rpm for the v8, but all engines drop from that point, it's the increase in rpm that keeps power increasing.

Well, you can't lug an auto, so any revs.

The most exciting engines, if not the fastest, are those that have a flat, or slowly rising torque curve. That gives you that feeling of increasing power up to a, hopefully high rev limit. Some turbos, for example, have lots of low and mid range power, then go flat at a quite low top end. The 2...

Or, worse, Toyotas

It's not really driving music, but I like Amanda Marshall. She has 2 tracks, Dark Horse and White Mustang

Don't like Astons, too much of a kit car.

Daisy's a sweet name. Mine's called Bonnie, Bonnie Blue.

I didn't think this was that kind of forum.

Thanks. Yep, Italian/Kiwi born in Wellington NZ. But I lived most of my life in Auckland, we're a bit south of there now, an east coast city called Tauranga. Auckland's nice to visit, but their traffic drives me mad now.

No problem using a hose, be very careful with pressure washers. Avoid focussing the spray on connectors and such.

Checked that every joint is tight?

On a similar subject, I can't use the cupholder because it's set up for LHD and it becomes the armrest on RHD cars. Anyone know of aftermarket cupholders for the doors or side of the trans tunnel? I've got some from Temu, but they're not that good. I don't want to screw stuff to the interior...

This takes me back some. I've been on car/bike forums for years and they always have a periodic blow up, and I was was as bad as anyone else. Then I got onto facebook to keep in touch with people while overseas, and got into the whole argueing with strangers nonsense. Then, one day I realised...

Personally, I buy as many toys on a car as I can afford. I just like stuff. Like big brakes, sporty exhaust, etc. But if there was a DH on the showroom floor, I don't think I could have resisted

No, I AM SPARTACUS,

Not into wooden paddles, leather is the thing :wink:
