Don't they call those things 'road trains' or something? I remember seeing them on some solar car race documentary....apparently, they are so big and punch such a hole in the air that when they'd drive by they could actually flip over those light little solar cars.

It past, and kept going, than another, than another. That thing was huge. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />

Yep, road train. When you see one coming at 130km/hr, let him past, slot in behind and draught him for hours.
But don't brake suddenly in front, he will take 3kms to pull up. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


Excuses are for losers.
