That looks like a bumper car!
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.

Errr, thanks mate. I think. :D That's a crazy thing and yes, I'd have one but that's strictly between us so if anyone asks, I'll deny any knowledge of this post and accuse one of my esteemed colleagues of writing it while my back was turned.. :oops:
