    Greens call for a high speed rail link

    That was going to be my next point. railway tracks are 50 kg per m each, so 100 kg per m. That's 100,000 tonnes of steel, just for the tracks.

    Somehow I doubt it is a busier corridor than Paris-London, Boston->New York->Washington, Tokyo->Kyoto->Osaka or Seoul->Busan. Like JFDB said, what counts as a corridor? Does Shenzhen to HK count?

    Rate this: Blow off valves

    its a great sports car, yeah, but its still a road car too, and the bov is somewhat quiet because noisy ones are annoying. Just like stock exhausts are relatively quiet. Flutter sound is compressor surge, that's all there is to it. No doubt that they have reasoned that that level of it is...
