  1. >Light bars are like running with a parachute! Integrating lights into the car cabin does not affect our drag coefficiency and requires no holes to be drilled into the roof which has a negative affect on the cars residual values.

    What’s that on the roof?

  2. Dam these things are so quick and really good at cornering even in the wet 😬, outruning them even in a really fast ice car is almost impossible.

  3. >Brakes wear has been minimal, after 10,000 miles of driving the first set of pads still had 15-20% use still in them. Tires are the same as I.C.Es and need replacing at around 8,000 miles.

    Granted I don’t drive like a copper (because I would rightly lose my licence) but I get at least 20-25k out of a set of break pads and the same for 25k+ out of really cheap tyres.

    I certainly don’t change either every six months and I do a lot of non motorway driving in the UK. That’s terrifying!

    Christ, I got over 60k out of a set of Michelin Mud Terrains driving to Cape Town and back once and they still passed an MOT when I returned.
