Evo magazine: Electric Special: Tesla Roadster

Evo has a pretty big following in my age group here...

Tesla Roadster | evo News | News | evo


And they look at the Lightning:

Lightning strikes | evo News | News | evo

and an electric Exige:

a bit behind with this though:

Finally!

Lightning strikes

Is the Tesla a rival? Chris Dell is unequivocal: ‘As far as we see it, we’re all in this together, and the more electric cars that are out there taking this process forward, the better.’

Leave it to the Brits to take the classy route.

Lightning strikes

"...and a level of detail that includes pedals machined with ‘+’ (throttle) and ‘–’ (brake) symbols."

It's used in the context of Auto Racing. I heard the phrase used:

"turn a wheel in anger"

to describe Katherine Legge (UK driver):

Katherine Legge
YouTube - Katherine Legge Crash on Road America

I think the phrase has UK origins. Listen to K. Legge's post crash interview, typical British class.. I've met her (& her Dad), & they are good people.

I had heard it before. Perhaps from watching a lot of 'Top Gear'.

Now, now. We're all in this together. Poor form to suggest one is better than the other.
