yep - at that point I decided he had nothing of any use/interest to say so he went on my very short list of people who get this.



Sweet. I love this feature.

There is a vast difference between obstructed view and running your tires at an angle that they are not designed for - with a blower on the bonnet, you generally know where your blindspot is, and can work around it, but with your crazy camber, you are putting pressure on your hub, axles and tire at an angle the were never designed for, greatly increasing the chance of high speed mechanical failure, most likely resulting in a fatality ...

Forget the safety factor, concentrate on the coolness factor, bitchez

Thankfully this is no longer happens 13 times a day due to the rule change

And that car that dented posted is a very good example of a safe car with every part operating as was intended from the factory.

I love how the internet works - speaking as someone who knows and likes you both I reckon if you guys met IRL you'd probably get on really well!

It's also an example of a car that isn't driven on the road.

Au Contraire. 100% legal and driven on the road.
Although I can see why you might think that. The constabulary have the same problem.

It's not a 'proper' gasser because it's got front brakes

Yes and other critters too and they should distill their own fuel and drink copious quantities of it at pit stops.

Could have seen this a mile off, and weight distribution only 3% further forward apparently.

I can never figure out if this is cool cause it's extra horses or an affront that someone has removed the boxer. I'm leaning to the latter as Mr Crawford has shown us 450HP from a turbo FA20 isn't that hard

Might only be 3% forward but what has it done height/center of gravity?
