Tony Le Mesmer Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just thought I would begin a thread about things in general that don't really make sense. Just that today I was thinking about cars and speed. When the speed limit of all countries around the world is unlikely to exceed 90 mph at best, why do cars get made that can go well over 100/150 mph? If you aren't meant to ever go that fast then why is that? Why are they made to go this fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Things that don't make sense. The fact my parents got to see man not only go into space, but land on a distant object and safely return, witnessed a man setting a speed record in a boat that stands to this day, and could fly to NY in half the time it takes now! Hell, even the trains were quicker in those days when they ran on coal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford (or Toyota) own the patent and won't let the others (other than Ford and Toyota) use it. But I think the licensing lapses soon and all car manufacturers can put them in.

uttoxram75 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Why is that? Why is it that in the 1970's, Uttoxeter had a Magistrates Court, a Council Office, a Labour exchange/Jobcentre, a Police Station, a Fire Station manned with full time firefighters, Ambulance station, Train station with waiting room and toilets with trains running late enough to get back home from night games, Public Toilets, Park keepers, Police officers patrolling estates on foot, a Racecourse owned by the council, subsidised buses to local villages, Banks and Post offices, and now, in 2017, we can't afford any of this. Its as if some section of society had stopped paying tax into the public purse. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
