so would you say the Cheetah is the veyron of the animal world?

Did you know it has a top speed of 70 mph and a 0-60 of under 3 seconds!!

thank F##k i didn't meet him at the lights, then i would have looked really silly, iDrive fiddling or not, that thing would have DESTROYED me!!

We're back to pump and squirt again though

as impressive as the cheetah is of course........for overall speed and endurance you need an Arab/Thoroughbred combination of the equine variety.

What is the Arab/Thoroughbred combination though?

i really need help with this quote, please somebody enlighten me as to what it really means, and not whats going on in my crazy head, because if it is interpreted the way i read it, it would mean a good 30 second delay from any standing start.....

Still like a pump and squirt tho. E"A - which is why i own a 330i

Point and Squirt is the phrase aint it!?! Always was when I was a youngster (In motor racing especially)

I thought pumping when squirting was impolite.

Thanks for adding to it

Now we got 7 pages

So .. which is quicker .. and by how much?

1. Zebra
2. Horse
3. Goat
4. Invalid Carriage
6. Otter
7. Swan

For the sake of parity, lets assume that they are all competing at Santa Pod, using road tyres.

PS - My money is on the otter. On paper the odds are against them, but they are sneaky little b*stards

Em135eye · 01-25-2010, 12:50 PM

You forgot the pygmy shrew. It may be small but it's get to 5mph in a flash.

You can't compare a chipped zebra with an otter.

We are talking standard tune on road tyres.
