It will really be interesting to watch you sit on it and trying to drive somewhere.

For the DAC, the main risk will feeding in too high bitrate files before its ready, the result will be the same as with the 430 Scuderia a burnt mess.

To quote the namegiver of the Teddy bear again:
Quote: Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
Let those who never have bitten off more than they can handle throw the first rock.

You cannae change the laws of physics, that's all. So treat yourself with some respect and get proper training before you go marauding through the countryside with such a toy.

In this case it wasn't even being driven through the country but on the M1. How this could have happened at legal motorway speeds is beyond belief.

That engine has a terrific torque and acceleration. Losing control is made extremely easy.

That you think he was conforming to the speed limit on the M1 is beyond belief.

I see what you mean it would have been impossible to get to 70mph on the M1 during the day.

While it's a myth that we don't have any speed limits at all, we do have long stretches where there is only a recommended speed of 130 km/h, but no limit. Strangely enougfh it's only the foreigners who can't live with that. Some go crazy and drive like there's no tomorrow, others (not looking at anyone who wears wooden shoes and usually drags a tulip and cheese container behind the car) crawl around as they are used to and hold everything up.

Wanna bet he was playing with the traction control in the wet?

Actually, it's just pumping a bit faster due to laughing so much.
Guess his premiums are going up a bit.

Insurance group: 50.
My car is group 16, and I paid £227.70 this year, so how much he paid before this I don't even want to speculate.

The common insurance comparison sites wouldn't even quote for a £260,000 car, I know I tried, just for research purposes.  .com meerkat etc 
I would imagine it would have to be a specialist insurance company.

Didn't Clarkson try to insure a Bugatti Veyron while driving one across France and find the same thing?

Of course, none of us Hamilton fans would hope that the same thing happens to Vettel's Ferrari on Sunday...

I've gone "off road" a couple of times, and none of my cars ever burst into flames.
I'm wondering about the exact sequence of events...
A) vroooom -> bumpty-bump-bump -> fwoof!
or
B) vroooom -> fwoof! -> AAAaaauuuggghhh -> bumpty-bump-bump

Pity no one around had a dashcam - it'd have gone viral on YouTube.

Yeah, or nay? If so, which one and why? (Yes, I could just do a search here, but that would be late week's opinions)

Yay. I got Keepass KeePass Password Safe[^] as recommended in a post in the Lounge some time ago. Very easy to use across Windows and Ubuntu (with mono) and keeps improving. I manually sync database using FreeFileSync. I don't worry about other devices but: How to Use KeePass In Your Browser, Across Your Computers, and On Your Phone[^]
