The CCx is sweet. Ddi you see the Stig spill the off Top Gear's track?Yes. Thats when they ordered a rear wing, right?
Well...
Konisseggonissekeggisseggegg claims it was more to do with revised suspension, but the wing IMO helped the most. Would feel safer in a car like that though with a Gt-tyoe spoiler.
@Akaoni-
Hell yes, Ford V8s FTW!

Though the Caterham has alot of faults. It produces twice as much drag as a Ferrari Enzo (but the Superlight R500 should be slightly less because of the lack of windscreen) and produces about 50lbs of lift at 100mph. It's a fairly old design, and with Caterham's current pricing model, the Aerial Atom is honestly a much better car for the cash.But the Caterham still has that cool factor. Plus you can build one yourself from scratch quite easily for around $3000 USD.
Surely tho you aren't suggesting that either of those cars are better then the Caparo T1? After all a vehicle that is as cheap, reliable, safe and practical as the Caparo is superior to all other cars. With all those factors going for the Caparo it is clearly the right choice rather then a Caterham or the Aerial.
IIRC, didn't that almost set Clarkston on fire when he was test driving it? :D And besides, it failed their sleeping policeman test.
Honestly the Caparo T1 looks completely ridiculous to me. It might be shi* fast but it...I dunno, it just rubs me the wrong way. And anyway, at least a Westfield XTR4 can hold a passenger and a little luggage.
Spoiler:
I love Europe. Where else can a stripped-out racecar still be road-legal, even as a production car?

Bugatti Veyron
Spoiler:
Guess what Top Gear tested as turning a faster lap time than the Veyron?
Spoiler:
My all-time favorite car is the Jagua XJR-9 (LM edition, with the low wing to allow 240mph on the Mulsanne Straight). My eventual plan is to build a ground-up, tube-frame replia with two seats. Just listen to that sexy bitch roar!
Post you favorite car, be it production, kit, race, whatever gets your blood going.

As much as I can appreciate this movment it will not work. Too many damn Christians and 'big family' people overpopulating. "God will provide." Yeah right, you're no better than sheep, mindlessly following an unseen shepherd right over the cliff...

it is none of their business what the hell i do with my gunsAgain, I am not saying that I am in favor of getting rid of all guns. I just think that the government does have a right to know what people are doing with their guns, to some extent. If any person can go to a gun fair and buy a gun from someone, with no paperwork at all and no background check, something is wrong. That person could be completely fucking crazy. That's why stores are legally required to do background checks, to make sure that a person with schizophrenia and has never taken any meds cannot get a gun, because he might try shooting the demons that populate the streets that are really people.
Well following that logic, we should background check anyone who wants to posses loli material incase they have a criminal background of sexual assualt (which would of course be outrageous for many reasons). One person or crazy should not ruin it for the rest of us.
That's going a bit far. Loli isn't designed with the intent of killing people. I think there should be less restriction on the type of gun available and more stringent control on who possesses them. Criminal checks are standard for buying a gun, but what about a psych eval? And as mentioned, gun fairs need to be reeled in with either no selling period or the imposition of some way of registering to buy (like, for example you go get evaled and checked like you were buying a gun from a store, and then you get a magnetic ID card or something, like a drivers license to buy at a show or something.)
Simply put, those who need meds to remain emotionally and mentally stable (such as skitzoids or depressed people) shouldn't have guns.
Though, IIRC, you can go through extra screening and fees with ATF to have more advanced guns? [confused about something read on wiki].
Okay, been on Wiki, and I'll go ahead and add the [modern] Bernelli M3 to my list. Now, Question., it said that it is illegal for private citizens to own guns with muzzle bores greater than 1/2". So then where does that leave shotguns? And combat shotguns? Because one could definitely use the M3 for sport hunting.
Actually...now the assault ban's been over for awhile...where does that leave private ownership of them? (or did I miss some other bill banning auto weps?)

^-This. This at least.
Maybe automated weapons could be available to more cool-headed individuals? Maybe an extra level of screening available once you reach 25y/o to let you buy/possess/shoot...oh, a M4 or a MP5.

And the Beretta 93R. Don't forget the sickest handgun ever made.Dragunov SVD still there along with the Barret M82, a G36, Colt M4A1, and just for shits and giggles a Milkor MGL Mk.1
If we're talkin sickest hand gun it's gotta be the M1911, big freakin bullet and a whole lotta fun.
Yeah .45 cal is really powerful but IMO that kind of power in a handgun...from what I understand that power is only useful for sport shooting and large-animal defense.

You can see a militia as being a group of regular citizens who fight back if/when the government decides to stick a rod up everyone's ass. The trouble with that is, can't any group of people call themselves a militia? What if pro-life people decided that abortion being legal was a case of the government going too far? They could form a sort of militia, with the intent of taking the rights of unborn babies back from the government. (That's how they might see it.)In such a case, a group of citizens would be standing up for what they see as basic human rights, fighting a government they see as tyrannical. They'd be a militia. But I certainly wouldn't want ardent pro-lifers to be able to arm themselves with rocket launchers.
Well, we only need to be concerned when the government begins to step on the constitution as it applied to them. Abortion is a state issue and voted on, thus it is democratic and has no reason to be targeted. Of course, this does nothing to stop the radicals. The radicals think they're in the right by fighting back. so then it becomes a case of "Who watches the Watchmen?".
Maybe it's a good thing citizens cannot possess automated and/or heavy weaponry.
Ye a pervert, and no, not proud. I doubt many people would understand my affinities for most things involving female subservience.
Well, suppose I wasn't a virgin [want it to be 'special'], I wouldn't have much issue with a fuck buddy or 'friends with benefits'.
