I was on the A64 in my car and decided to call in the highwayman cafe near york for a coffee . I drove into the car park and parked against a white skoda i got out of the car and said to the wife that skodas look very nice now then i noticed the camera on the dash yup it was a plain cop car complete with alloys and a spoiler with the reg no NX51 LFM So its one to look out for in future :mrgreen:
Now on a busa

Sneaky :-) but I suppose it needed a camera fitting to get value from it because it aint going to actually catch much :roll)

Sorry mate but relativity still forbids you to break the light speed barrier. Tachyons can only exceed the speed of light as they always travel at "superluminal" speeds from the very moment of their creation in either subatomic collisions or disintegrations.

If you managed to get a tachyon drive for your 'bird though you would still be subject to Einsteins Theory of Special Relativity which yould mean you would go back in time and end up riding a clapped out CB250 circa 1970.

Ah yes but what if you use a subspace vortex?
Then you can go as fast as you like, you ask Captain James T Kirk.
