Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

Watch diesel power week (this is day 1, the other days are in the related videos)

TORQUE!
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

That is part 1 in the series, parts 2-5 are in the related videos, it looks like at the end of part 5 he is about 3/4 of the way there.
Lots of grinding and welding for all your metalwork fetishists!
They have just uploaded part 6. I want their workshop, jig and fabrication skills!

That smart is more than just "blown"

Anyway, John loaned his smart car to Vicki Butler Henderson and look what happened:

Nah, mine was exported. When they go back under warranty they have to be taken back to France for investigation and/or scrapped and their parts used in light aircraft, motorcycles and very small greenhice. Bless them, at least Mercedes UK gave me a full refund so these were 39,871 very cheap miles in the two years it lasted. :mrgreen:

But now for this tense footage of sudden oversteer by a pensioner. Someone give the chap a Toyota Avensis, he's almost old enough to qualify.
