He dissmisively said, "is that all its got!", no I said and gave it briefly WOT - he had to back off because of the noise
A lot of the 1/5th guys look down on the 1/10th and 1/8th - god knows why!!!
Neither me, after I saw some 1/5th cars driven in Malaysia. Definitely sounds like lawnmowers but worse than that they all never seemed hooked up!

Mind you, there is a common thread ... all them drivers seemed to be over 50 so I know we all gonna get there one day. Perhaps its a vision thing?
