101 GS

Also not a chase as such but fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0k0hvPmwb4

Seems that I can have even less respect for Callum now, thanks. Weak... Which looks hardly anything like: Do them pictures work?

Don't get me wrong, I never liked Callum's designs. Trying to aerodynamically smooth out an E-type/DB5 and make it match modern regulations is gonna result in similarly boring lines.

He was officially part of Aston too, and according to Aston the DB7 was his design: http://www.astonmartin.com/eng/heritage/db7anddb7vantage

No that would be Ian Callum ripping himself off

This?

No it looks much more like a 1967 Aston Martin DBS I wonder why that is?

Oh and the ground clearance for an SSC Ultimate Aero is 89mm

Ah, but you have to take into account hyperbole as a comedic device.

From Carfolio where quoted: Gumpert Apollo = 40mm Bugatti Veyron = 65mm Koenigsegg CCX = 100mm Caterham Seven R500 = 80mm Anyway it's not so much ground clearance you have to worry about, it's approach, departure and break angles which are more a feature of front and rear overhangs and...

His characters are deliberately extreme. The comedy is all about how his naive interviewees, believing that they are being interviewed by a legitimate interviewer, respond to these ridiculous characters. Forget the films, they are just ways of making money, focus on the original interviews...

Indeed, but then there is a character on Top Gear that seems to confuse a lot of people already; is it any surprise that some people might assume that TG might have Bruno rather than SBC on.

No they don't http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk2oee2kjT8

Well angles are dimensionless mathematical abstractions. The SI units for angles are radian and steradian, mainly because, most of the time, when you fuck with circles you fuck with Pi and as well as most interesting angles being described as simple operations of Pi when you use radians, also...

I'll refer you to the second graph I posted... erm... let me see... a rod is 11 cubits. Metric, especially SI is much easier to understand, you need to know 7 base units and only one kind of unit per measure. Every unit, other than time, is then known by standardised decimal multiples. In...

Maybe if we moved to a decimal time system, reconfigured the SI system to take that into account, and relabelled everything internationally, then the cost to each country wouldn't result in an economic disadvantage.

Waydee, would you say that the oil exploration and production industry are scientific/engineering? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/article-1192193/BPs-grim-warning-growing-cost-North-Sea-oil.html...
