 Holy curse word! Surely that's almost impossible?! They mustn't be able to stay up there for much longer than a few seconds surely? Especially the bus! Any more info? |

Hitch - I know what you mean; it's the same principle as a wall of death. But with much heavier vehicles on a much bigger radius turn. Bikes on the wall of death only do something like 30mph because the centrifugal force is a lot greater due to the small radius of the circular wall they ride on, so what kind of speed must the Mercs be doing?

No idea, must be giving it some though! ;D |

that was easy wasn't it!
Is there anything in particular about mercedes suspension/chassis design that allows them to go so low or have these all had some other treatment? I just wondered if they lend themselves to it. Might be the low sils and gentle shoulder line that does it, can't tell?

I've just lost half an hour of my morning over this thread! Another half an hour on ebay ensues... I want one of these:  Centrifugal Centipedal force...depends how fast they're going. I fixed it for you. If really have to be an utter knob for no reason, at least spell it right  |
