And so it came to pass when The Rat was old enough and the tempered car was right that he became "Wallowing Whale" And Backdoor saw this proclamation and along with Punchy Pete and Wayward Wayne they looked towards Captain Jack and nodded "this was very Good" and so it came to pass.. Wallowing Whale Lives!!!!! : lol:

The problem should have been that you actually need brakes

not sure what caused it but considering i could wipe 5 seconds off my lap times just by pumping the brakes (when they didnt work and i had no capacitor) having brakes that actually slow the car down should be a nice improvement
