Post by: Hurdy on 03 February 2008, 13:38: Well, following on from the last carbonfibre thread I was searching for a few more parts and found this:-

I believe it should be Ã‚£170.21 :grin:

What if you'd already thought of that and had the poo - you'd save another ***gms :grin:

Post by: speedynz on 03 February 2008, 22:55: I wonder how much pooh weighs relative to carbon fibre?

Is high fibre pooh heavier or lighter?

Is a big wee worth 1/10th second per lap?

You certainly dent your performance if you have to stop at a garage to go for a pee, though with one leg, the urinal's going to be rather tricky... On balance, I think chopping off your leg has negative performance implications!
