Sounds perfect to me, I have been waiting ages for a single seat road legal sports car.

Obviously you've been waiting so long you didn't bother to look up the one that has existed for over a decade.

Gordon Murray's Light Car Company Rocket.

Also available as a tandem, and has hit 112mph in reverse.
 
Speed limiters on the side of the roads transmitting signals to your car when you pass could be a solution. The car's electronics picks up the signal and the car is slowed down to the maximum speed for that particular road.



Bad, baaad, baaaad, bad English.

Can't beat a single seat cockpit, at one with the car, cocooned.
Each customer is fitted for his or her seat, pedal reach and preferred driving position.

Wow...if I had the money that car would be very high up on my lists :sly: The rear of the car looks extremely similar to a modern day F1 car, with a very slim and compact rear end design. Quite cool!

I was thinking of mentioning GPS based speed limiters (similar to what you've mentioned) in my last post, but there comes a point where you might as well just have the car drive itself :dopey:
 
I think I prefer the looks of the Ariel.

I actually do not like the open frame, for a Ducati it works, for a car not that much for me.

Ikke en den dikke en de rest kan stikke.

Went on the balance this morning over 100kg again, I think I qualify for the position "dikke", so you do care about me according to your saying.

Ofcourse!
 
To put it simply: You've got an expensive, fast car and can't even pick up a girl at your local ice cream parlour.

That's as far away from perfect as you'll ever get :lol:

Oh yes you can. She can sit on your lap. Who doesn't want to have a beautiful girl on his lap? :D

I wouldn't mind having a beautiful gorl on my lap, however, not being able to reach the steering wheel or see where you're going might prove to be a problem :lol:

Plus, it wouldn't help with the overall level of awareness and focus, I think ;)

Tie her onto the engine cover, maybe?

Not that I'm calling Senna a girl, but you get my gist.

Sure. And that comes pretty close to what I had in mind when I said you could tie her to the engine cover :lol:
 
Good luck using that organic clutch on city streets with stop and go traffic.

Organic can refer to the resin used to bind the friction materials of the clutch together or a friction material that uses glass. These resins are usually derived from cashews (seriously). The other bits that make up an organic clutch are glass, steel, copper, brass, and Rolaids (seriously...calcium carbonate is a common filler). There's some other stuff in there but I won't bore you with that or how awful hexamine is.

The trouble with clutches like the Carrera GT is its size. It's tiny and has little inertia. That's why they're tricky.
