"To be able to cut in between an oncoming car! thats the type of thing that I love to see in races!
thats what I would call "taking a risk"!
This type of swift move is what wins races, it marks the difference between a true racer and a "driver in a fast...
1. People who dawdle in the overtaking lanes.
2. Dutch caravans. They are usually doing the above.
3. Tailgaters
4. Inappropriate speed. They go 50 in the 60 zone and 50 through the town. Cant get by them anywhere...speed up if you try a pass or they see a passing zone coming up...
I try to eat my roadkill if it isnt too badly mangled. Ive had some lovely pheasant and rabbit. I leave the cats though...
Ive never hit a deer though but once went through a herd of them on the road at damn near 100! Close call that! Just missed a cow once. That would have been a real...

Parking in two spaces is just plain selfish. If I ever see some plonker who has done this, I try to sqeeze as close as possible to his drivers door just out of sheer badness. In some places said plonker would also have to pay double the charge! Hey I dont care if it is a new Ferrari or...
I never take Autocar too seriously. They tend to love the Peugeots and I remember them ranking the Pug Coupe higher than the Merc in one article. Whatever, they seem to have a bias toward French products and have been giving them rave reviews for years. Still, I think that the 172 Cup has...
Err...mine is a Willy I. Plaque # 3369.
That is not a typo. Group A and N required 5000 examples and 500 would have been required for a Group A evolution of an existing model of which 5000 had already been made. Im sorry if my figures are off as I have not looked into the FIA yellow book...

Joe,
You are right about the negligible performance gains through the reduction in weight and in all probablity the suapension changes would be unnotticed by most and easy to replicate if need be. However, on a circuit, with acceleration positive, negative and lateral, the weight savings can...
Off to the dealer. I was debating with myself until now. The top gear acceleration is decieving though as the MINI Cooper S has a 6th gear. Id be willing to bet it is a bit taller than the Cups and 172s but I havent seen the figures side by side. I would think that the naturally aspirated...
At least we can be thankful that Renault is charging less for the Cup and Ragnottti. If they were Porsche they would charge more for stripping the car out!

Ah flying as well! What a guy. I got the usual 152,172, Archer, Arrow and R22 bits in all without ever following through to get my licence. Also 6 hrs aerobatic in a S2B which is the bit that I remember!
Joe,
You know what youre talking about there.
Also everyone should consider that sometime the ones killed instantly are the lucky ones. I know several survivors who are virtually in a living hell as the result of surviving nasty crashes.
There are old pilots and there are bold...
