That's the part that has me thinking: Koenigsegg seems to have a car, with a camless engine, and which is doing miles after miles seemingly without issues. Considering that in the past, they have tended to deliver on the technology side, th...

Staying safe on a bike
What are the keys to staying safe, avoiding collisions/issues, on a motorbike?

Re: Welcome & Approach
It is not about volume but about quality. I'd rather have a few high quality posts/discussions than loads of pointless banter. I have also noticed that a number of oldies on aduk too easily fall into private joke territory, clouding even genuinely interesting thread. Some advice should be given here...
