Shame cos the thread got locked, but you have to say.......the replies that ARE there are just brilliant and spot on. The clown has NO idea what he is talking about!!! Lowering the seats reduces weight? GENIUS!!!! Why doesn't everyone do that? And over inflating the tyres to get more horsepower? Oh lordy.....

Anyone else think that there is a possibility that this guy is actually taking the michael? Its making me think cos no one is that stupid........are they?

Just hilarious..........

[Stu Hill]

so if I lower the passenger seat, as there is only ME in the car it'll go faster?

How do I lower the seat?

:rof:ro:rof

LOL at the moderator too!

[sramdeen]

LOL, classic! I'll be sure to fold the seat down tomorrow in order to exert less downwards force.
If he had mentioned weight distribution then we'd still be laughing our heads off but at least he would be stabbing in the right direction! Oh, and it's a bloody Vauxhall Corsa??!?!?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!?!

It only leaves me to ask one last thing. Boggy, what were you doing on that site in the first place?

Goes to proove my old point now matter how much you polish a turd, you still have a turd.

My mate Chris at work drives a Honda S2000 and he told me about it, I don't know what he was doing on there but then again he drives a S2000

Is he really a normal Vauxhall owner?




I bet that hurt the rest of 'em

Question:

A van is stationary and carries a bird that is stood on the floor in the back of the van .

If the bird starts to fly in the van, what happens to the weight of the van now the bird is no longer stood on the floor?

This would still add to the overall weight of the Van on the road

How? The bird is no longer exerting any force on the floor of the van...

Well, as the great newton once said, for every action there is a equal oposite reaction.

In order to fly the bird flaps its wings and exerts a force that enables it to fly. This force is a downward force and acts on the van as a whole, therefore maintaining the downward force on the van. The force required to lift the bird in the air is equal to the downward force (i.e. the weight) the bird exerts on the van when stood on the floor.

Therefore there is still the same downward force on the van as when the bird is stood on the floor

It's mass not weight, and the air displaced by the bird would not be the same as its resting weight (eg would you argue that on the upstroke it would make the van weigh less as the air moved upwards? No)

Is the bird not exerting force on the van to stay in the air? think of a Harrier taking off (not quite the same I know )

edit: too late

Oh dear

Lets just go to the pub and get drunk

Good plan!

I thought a Harrier was a bird....


Say...., what happens to a birds weight when flying in a lift, (either up or down)?, hic. can't think straight at the moment, hic, up.

According to Newton's 4th Law of fluid dynamics, the bird joins us down the pub and has a Creme de Menthe.
