Did you get a T-shirt ?

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.

To what I've read, 20 mph should be more economical than 30 mph, but it's difficult to achieve in normal driving, as takes very careful throttle control.

Re: Zero emission road vehicles.

Re: Interesting (non musical) YouTube videos.

Interesting Vid, 'Jack', I'll sit down in the comfy armchair in a minute and have a better look at that. Ps. congrats on 35 years. Megavalanche is quite well known these days. My friend from work did it 2 years ago, but not as fast as this. Check out the level of attrition on the first corner ! http...

The system only accepts jpegs up to 256kB which is quite small.

Re: SV811-3
