breakdown truck

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

An act of parliament, probably.

I suspect just lights and indicators are all it would take to get it registered as a quadracycle (like those quad bikes you see being driven by teenagers).
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.

:shock: Hmm, interesting. I'll pass on the car, but I wouldn't mind owning the brain that created it.

That white is now officially the best colour for a K10, recently having knocked bright red off the top spot in the Nissan Micra colour charts.
:mrgreen: :)

The March has to make do with a teeny weeny 1 litre engine, ergo that CVT version is faster. No? :x

A supercharger and a turbocharger on the same engine. It has 108hp so I wouldn't have thought anything else the factory offered in a K10 would be quicker. Plus you could uprate both blowers to a modern spec and generate even more power / torque through a wider band.
