Stevie: when you go to the site, look on the left side for "search by size" that's a much faster way to search than by vehichle

Stevie: over here in UK, the prices for these would be approx £100 and upwards each.. ~ US$165 CAN$225 including tax and fitting

Subject: as a comparison
what would a 215/40/17 ZR reputable tyre company tyre cost? so maybe, pirelli, avon, continental etc etc.. not a budget make..

Incase your sizes are diferent ratings etc.. the above means..
215mm wide, side profile is 40% of the 215mm so = 86mm and on 17 inch diameter wheel with a Z speed rating of 149mph and upwards

I only ask as I just got to get a full set,, so thought id ask you guys what it would cost in your countries too as a subject starter

slalom is still pretty much straight line stuff hehe...
but then, I bet these sort of cars would be hard to use properly on normal roads :o(

what about in corners? its all very good doing straight line :o) hence cars can keep up with bikes in the twisties ;op

Stevie: Only they wouldn't be side by side for long, if they start racing - the Koenigsegg would be slightly faster ;)

Subject: Re: McLaren F1 v Koenigsegg CC
WhiteTower: Its a nicer looking motor :o)
But its similar also, especially with the central driving position of the driver and a fair bit of the looks. It looks ot me like someone has taken the maclaren F1 and refined its looks and removed the rear lip spoiler,, would be interesting to see them side by side on track :o)

I think the latter has now overtaken the former as the top supercar - any counter-arguments? :)

Just check it out:

what brand of weed eater do you have. Model # and engine number/size. I'll find you some directions as they are different by brand. For the most part what you are doing is adjusting the amount of fuel the engine is trying to burn.

I have a green Weedeater that just refuses to idle below half speed, and fuel drips from the foam air cleaner.
Any suggestions?

Yep because most cars have a shifter interlock that only lets you shift out of park when you have the brake depressed. If you have a wiring problem, that could be a symptom.
