The 1975 Bricklin One of my all time favorite 'matchbox cars' as a child... Of course, at the time, I had no idea that one actually existed... ;) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

You'll notice I haven't posted any Lambourghini pics. I'll tell you why: they may look good and go fast, but they are the most uncomfortable cars I've ever been in! :( Lamborghini made and still makes tractors, then built cars with bull names (Miura, etc). But the car factory is now owned by a German firm, I think AUDI. Tullio |

The 1975 Bricklin I hope you hung on to it, it would fetch a good price on eBay from Canadian collectors. ;) |

As a BMW Z3 owner/driver, I make no apologies whatsoever for posting this pic of the proposed Z10. BMW's = Speed bumps ! Except on that damned fake Z3 vs Viper race in Willow Springs. That just wasnt RIGHT !!! |

You'll notice I haven't posted any Lambourghini pics. I'll tell you why: they may look good and go fast, but they are the most uncomfortable cars I've ever been in! :( Actually it is springs that reduce the harsh bumps. However if you have springs, you need shock absorbers to maintain control (worn shocks allow the car to rock several times after a bump - no shocks means that the car keeps rocking for several minutes after a bump). If a car has a harsh ride, the springs and the shocks are stiff for the weight (Lambourghini, empty dump truck). If it floats like a boat (Cadilac) the springs and shocks are a bit weak for the weight. BOINC WIKI |

Thanks for explaining this, John. I feel I understand all this much better now. Well then, the shocks are very stiff on Lambourghinis, which makes for a very harsh ride. ;) |
