Not F1, but a nice vid here of a Mercedes electric car, 0-100 mph in 3.9 secs

great video, I love the retro/futuristic blend of the whole concept

At 31 seconds it shows a gas cap (or so it seems) - why if it's an electric car?

electric cars have a 'flap' for the charging plug, tradition?

That's in metric, 100 kmh in 3.9 seconds not that old archaic system you used!

Yes. Sorry, miswrote it. Used to working in mph in the uk.

Nothing wrong with using the correct units. Kilometers are just for people who like to exagerate speed and distances.

Aren't you all finally coming to your senses and using metric?

[What's Burning?]

I use metric wrenches.

Yes in everything except mph.

Oh and weighing myself. I have no idea if I'm too fat in Kilos.

I actually prefer miles (as the only non-metric unit): you make about 60 miles an hour average, an hour has 60 minutes, so very easy to figure out how long it takes to get somewhere. Try this with 100km/h and 60 minutes - a bit harder

Yay, we got something right.

OR.... You could just travel everywhere at 60km/h....

Sure - if my name was Karthikeyan I'd do that anyway

I just use percentage of hours and then work out the minutes that way
