      PS: A couple of weeks ago my friend's girlfriend
      asked me if I knew what was the difference between
      a Porsche and a Porcupine ...... I'm still trying to
      figure it out πŸ˜†

      I'm sure you've figured it out already Mike. I think she must have been upset with you, see below for the answer, incase you're still wondering...
      In the case of a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside. So I think she was insulting you. 😞

          165,000 miles and going strong. We have a lot of Summer fun practically living out of this SUV; camping, biking, hiking, festivals and all. Also very good in Wisconsin Winters. Very practical and comfortable vehicle.

                Our friends at PPB have a similar thread- Thought I would share my "special" ride here too.

                    Nice weiner car! Here's how I roll if I need to be on 4 wheels. At sea level with 93 octane fuel and boost map I was pushing out 300 bhp and 290 lb/ft of torque! She flies...for a car! πŸ˜‰

                        4. his econo car has more horse power than my V8 Truck.

                        5. and he's like "bruce lee" healthy...

                          "The best is a "rain demo". In the rain, the tires slip very predictively and can actually maximize the car's acceleration without being overwhelmed with all wheel traction. In other words, I can slide the car, and while all fours wheels slide in a drift, the turbo continues to spool smoothly and when the tires completely hook up, the turbo is at full spool at max torque...it's like being shoved sideways and then shot off an aircraft carrier!! She's a good car!

                                Somebody owes you a hundred bucks! πŸ˜‰ Oh yeah, we have dogs, no kids...but they're pretty smart ones! My wife does agility with our Blue Healer/Husky mix, and the other is a Sheltie...a real cutie!

                                By the way, those wooded shots where back in Massachusetts...but there are trees here too.

                                We live well...work very hard, play just as hard and treat everyone we meet with respect and kindness. Humility is one of life's best gifts.

                                I'm happy to share my good fortune with my friends! If you're ever in Boulder, you've got a friend!

                                      my real father lives in Pagosa Springs... although he partakes in a line of work I don't much agree with... he's a big game hunting guide, in the Iron Worker off season. I guess it's the Tsalagi in us, but I just don't see a reason to kill wild animals unless you're starving.

                                      so now I have a reason to go to Colorado... and now I have a friend... can I call you at home? I've never had a friend before. can we be bestest friends? I will love him, and pet him, and I will call him George...

                                      btw, have you been to, I think it's called "devils head" or "devils face" fire look out station?

                                      respect and humility huh... I should try that... then maybe people won't call me jerk all the time... lol

                                        I only had that happen to me once, I was a passenger in my uncle's car it was something like this car:

                                        http://www.miljobil.no/images/renault_kangoo/kangoo2.jpg

                                        Well no problem with that car it doesn't go all that fast or anything, does accelerate fast.

                                        However my uncle was a pro-go cart driver, and he drove some serious carts back in his day, and that driving style he adopted during his career of go-carting found it's way into his normal driving style.

                                        When we took that roundabout he was near the edge of a drift, and I mean VERY much near the edge, and he was actually gaining on several cars on that roundabout, he managed to find his way from the most left lane to the utmost right line (four lanes) during some pretty heavy traffic in that 3/4 of a circle we were making on that roundabout. It wasn't even that big of a roundabout and he slammed on it with 80kmph, I nearly shit myself then. But he had full control all of the time it was so awesome πŸ˜„

                                            Hi Guys,

                                            This thread is growing nicely. It looks like we ALL
                                            agree on one subject! Cars πŸ˜†

                                            I've been watching the progress of electrics and hybrids,
                                            lots of 'coming soon' stuff but not much available at
                                            reasonable prices.

                                            One that attracts me is the Zap X. Its a collaboration
                                            between Zap and Lotus. In the following link there is a
                                            video on show with a RHD prototype, this has sparked
                                            my interest added that I understand the price will be
                                            sub €30K.

                                            The spec is very impressive, especially the 4 wheel
                                            drive feature.

                                            I had to laugh at the 'all electronic touch screen controls

                                            I think I'll write to them
                                            as suggest that they also consider doing a Mac version as

                                            PS: Craig, I'll have my Fuoco 500ie tomorrow (Sunday), its being
                                            delivered from UK. Only problem is that I won't be able to ride
                                            it until I get a Provisional Bike License. I can't get this until
                                            I pass a Theory Test and that will not take place until 28th of
                                            this month. BTW, I wonder if you can organise some ElectricRain
                                            discounts? And what is your good lady's name?

                                            Its also a well balanced smart design but again I would
                                            expect no less from Lotus.
