Can't help thinking I could be wasting my time with something better, though.

I read all the books over Christmas, loved them. I spend most of my time studying these days so whenever I read for recreation I tend to choose fantasy or something similar that requires no mental effort.

The rx8 has 156 lb-ft of torque btw, that's not much less than my diesel civic had as standard so I don't know who told ewe they have no torque but i'm guesising it was one of your hairdresser mates.

It's a lot more than that but that's enough for what you're after, like.
i'd guess an rx8 not having much torque would be cause it's a wankel engine instead of a normal engine, no idea why tho', i know feck all about them.

Wankel engines use rotation to drive instead of pistons. I'm not sure how that would affect the torque, but I am guessing it may have something to do with piston motion having more periods of momentum than a rotational engine would have?

Just guessing now though.

Just guessing at where to put a curly-whurley more like?

Hoi, Bojak, what was the festival like, you strange satire-punk hybrid creature.

Review or fuck the fuck out.

The lineup wasn't as good as usual but we still got whopped and pished to the macks and had a kwality thyme.
