    That link should go somewhere. I wonder if commenting 2.0 still strips out html tags

    If this is what they are proposing, it seems that the carbon-fiber composite-titanium laminate structure behaves more like a metal when it fails, rather than the carbon-composite's rupturing.

    I can't comment during the day much anymore. But I can say that coming home, knowing that there is going to be an Orosz crayon drawing, gives me a reason to live.

    On a side note, the 2010 Honda Insight has a chassis built of pure boron.

    @Officer BLW, Royal Canadian Grammar Polis.: Boron: a composite word made by combining the names or the two substances that make up James May: Boredom and Moron.

    @pauljones: I like james may. Ever watch Drink to Britain or read his TG columns? He's the only one of the three I could actually stand to be around.

    So, absolutely no information about the composition, construction or behavior of the material was transfered. Boring.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Did you really expect Top Gear to get into details like that? As much as I like the show I sometimes wish they would go into more details on their little project cars. Specifically the builds. I know this will never happen though.

    I guess I can just go watch reruns of Monster Garage and keep a close finger on the mute button.

    124 to 0 in 4.3 secs? When I hit a child crossing the street and stop so I can run over him backwards, it takes me 10 whole seconds!

    Gotta love Hammond in this video. Suddenly, he's 8 years old.

    Titbon sounds like a box of chocolates you bought at an adult video store.
