bylines you can ignore, since 1998
I wouldn’t want to corner at 72kph in a shopping trolley with a high centre of gravity with wheels from a wheelbarrow without a harness, helmet, pillows and some bubble wrap!
Dude, that’s a maximum speed, not recommended cornering speed…
Yeah, that’s true…but still, it proves the old adage that all American cars can only go in a straight line. Although in this case, you’d probably get backaches as part of the bargain.
