An old...ish photo.

For a particular reason I`ve just scanned a cracking photo from Estoril which I attach. Occasionally on Elan.net there`s talk, and much hyperbole (bulls**t), of how fast Elans are compared to modern quick cars. Yes, they`re quick with such sweet handling and steering but the laws of physics will prevail whatever "improvements" may be made.

old ...ish is the part I understood.
I assume modern cars are not subject to physical laws?
That said, are we referring to Newtonian physics, General Relativity or Quantum uncertainty I wonder
Could be Chaos theory I suppose. If you slam your Elan door in the UK does it cause a hurricane in the antipodes?
As the great Sir Patrick Moore would say "We just don't know"

I think a better question is, "If you slam an Elan door in the UK, does that door remain attached to said Elan?"

Ah, clearly Newtonian gravity in that case
Different question, surely
