   Well, the driving is up to YOU in the USA. Just
   keep it between the lines .......

   No "Low Riders" in the UK apparently .... what a waste !

   That would have ruined several popular USA vehicle
   trends ! In the 60s and 70s you often saw cars with
   tiny fronts and BIG rears. An odd variant, mostly
   with 'blacks' (and recently SAW one), is to mod
   the suspension so the NOSE is high in the air while
   the rear almost drags pavement. Put on some funky
   music and CRUISE ! Later, giant, 'big-foot', trucks.

   But the UK must be proud of making sure everything
   is so bland and 'normal' and 'civilized' "for
   everyone's good" .......

   USA is MUCH more fun.

You can put any wheel, but you need a technician or an engineer to 
certify the road worthiness of the modification. And it probably has to 
pass a test. The test is mandatory every few years for all vehicles.

It actually saves lives.

Not mandatory here in Australia. My car is approaching 15 years old .... 
never been checked that I know of.

Yes, they do

A measuring tape around the tread of an inflated tyre is its circumference.

It flattens where it touches the tarmac.

No. it is ovoid with a flat contact patch, otherwise there would be no 
traction at all


Here are some extreme examples

TNP's point is that an air-inflated tire, when placed under load, is no 
longer circular.  Therefore the forward distance traveled in one 
rotation is not pi * loaded_diameter.  The forward distance traveled in 
one rotation is equal to the length of the outermost tire tread in the 
rolling direction.  That outermost tread length changes very little 
with changes in apparent "diameter" due to loading and/or inflation 
pressure.

A loaded, air inflated tire, has more in common 'travel distance' wise 
with a tank tread than with a circle.

So one cannot simply measure axle center to road surface distance 
(radius of circle) and multiply by 2pi to get circumference of a 
circle, and use that to determine forward travel.  That value will be 
short by the amount of length change in the "radius" due to load and 
inflation pressure in the tire.

No.  For non-police speedo's they are intentionally set to read faster 
than your actual road speed.  Apparently the regulations (at least in 
the US) requires that the speedo's for passenger cars never 
under-report road speed (read 75 when you are really doing 76).  So to 
avoid regulation issues (and ambulance chasing lawyer lawsuits) the 
makers tune them to intentionally read just a few percent faster than 
actual road speed.

   I do have a VM of XP, somewhere .... but haven't
   used it since forever. Frankly I liked W2K better,
   WAY less fluff and shit.

   In any case I don't use ANY Winders-dependent stuff
   for anything. Had to 'support' it in my old office
   job but it was a grudge thing. Now, Winders-NEVER.

   And Apple is as bad as M$ ... just more $$$ and
   even more attitude .......

The main thing I use it for is MIDI sequencing and audio recording; the
freenix audio infrastructure is a total cluster (and as much as I enjoy
throwing shade at Lennart he's only responsible for half of it.) But
that's running Win7, and would be running XP if I didn't need non-bodge
64-bit support for the sake of RAM capacity.
