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

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! :P

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. :hehe:

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

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 :)

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

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