When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Did anyone else hear a time of 1.83? Presumably to 60?

Seen that a load of times. Its damned quick! The one i had for sale a few months back would be nearly as fast with the right engine in...

Nitro RC cars will easily hit 60 in just over a second

My last boat was a little offshore "v" with a tuned CMB Valvola 3.5cc motor through a reduction gearbox. 36,000 rpm! 65% nitromethane 20% methanol, 15% Klotz oil. £60/gallon! Cheap hobby! That's why I swapped to real cars!!
