But it becomes very frustrating when you set people off to find the correct answer to a humdinger of a question,
only to add an entry-level shortcut four minutes later?

Sorry, forgot about that. I'll have a root around to see what I can find out.

X - I read a bit further on the first one only to find that it was a very deep myth indeed. I didn't want to remove it incase anyone had started having a look so added an alternative instead of deleting the question. Didn't mean to cause any confusion. Care to hazard an answer on the first one though?

No that's a way to ask two alternative questions.

That's right, Matt. Another one of those countless racing talents sidelined by real life...

What was special about the aerodynamic behaviour of this car according to one of its drivers? The radiators are not ment.

Was it that the driver saw it as even more embarrassing to be seen driving than an Eiffelland?

Perhaps the turbulent hot air from those hideous radiators was so violent it blurred poor Derek's vision,
making him very brave indeed?

Like mentioned, it has nothing to do with the radiators. It is more about downforce.

It's just that these kind of "who said what.." questions, are pretty difficult to take very serious.

I've just been wondering what the word 'ment' means. #-o :wink: :shock: :?
