* not saying this link is gospel, but it seems well written with a fair degree of technical info included so thought it was a reasonable enough source to quote.

he can't, they all know he can't, they don't take him along to say "this is how we roll", he was invited to come out one night and he did

so the same thing applys to the way they drive their cars, if you are minted enough to buy cars that most of us would have to sell our house for, why would you ever want to "have a race" with an old ford?

these guys make footballers look poor, they walk about "because" they own the place, bruce wayne is more worried about getting his birds back home than what the riff raff are egging him on to do

it's not the same field, it's not the same league, it's not even the same fucking sport if you are comparing multipe Ł'000's of supercar with an escort

which would make more sense ( from this awful story ) if the ERST is 300bhp + and only weighs 1000kg
