    yeah definitely....

    i reckon it had a lot more to go in it to as i was only sitting with the pedal just over 3/4's not bad for a fully loaded car and roof top tent.

    Its funny isn't it coz i was just cruising and it felt really lovely and comfy it wasn't until I realised that I was going faster than I should of been that it suddenly felt fast before that i hadn't noticed.

    great call.... like your style mate!

    On the aeva website there are some interesting projects. Use it a lot for the boys at school as they are "real world" uses of technology. Since we are educating the future engineers/designers/innovators some reality is good for them!

    Well this Youtube vid seems to prove that you're right. 170kph at about 1min 40sec into the clip...

    He also was a little disappointed that the vehicle he tested that when driven into the mud hole he got stuck and required winching on several occasions.
    He made no reference to any other brand of vehicle attempting this terrain and having no difficulty getting through, so on conclusion I felt it was his lack of ability was the issue not the vehicle.
    In all my years of bush driving, owning allsorts of 4 wheel drives if the mud is deep enough it will stop you.

    that is what i am thinking useless muppet blaming his tools not the ability of the workman
