i've always been a big fan of the 4 day working week. that, coupled with my no-bullshit approach to public liability, i pretty much guaranteed to get me the prime minister's position if i ever went into parlaiment :D

 

there's actually alot of research into 4 day weeks, both from an educational and business perspective. it's theorised that if full time workers were given a 20% less work, there would be enough labour left over to employ another 20% staff, whilst the average tax system would reduce the full timers' net income by only 10%. another view says to just make the working week 4 days x 10 hours and have another day off. i think this is a far better idea, though some disagree

because of my subjects, i had a 4 day week in the last 2 years of high school, and i managed to con them into giving me another day off to work (either i get another day off or i drop out, yes sure i'll catch up on my work :D). i liked this system much better, and i was making a heap of money too. unfortunately, i spent it all on computers and the ke35 :D

well people, the week is over, here are your answers

 

1. How many forward gears does an Eclipse have, if you paint it green and put blue hoses under the bonnet?

c) 8

in the opening scene, you clearly see brian pick 7 gears, and hear him shift once more, before he tops out at 140mph and spins out for no reason. he obviously needs nos, because top speed isn't a product of gearing, and a shiny hissing bottle improves your downforce

 

2. What is Harry's shop called?

c) The Racer's Edge

 

3. What's the second song that plays at "the big street race"?

b) Limp Bizkit - Rollin.

6. Ask any racer, ask any real racer, it doesn't matter if you win by an inch, or a mile, winning is...

c) winning

 

7. How does Joey say to fix a burnt, crashed JZA80 Supra?

b) with overnight parts from Japan

never mind all the fire damage and f@$ked panels, we'll fix it right up with a heap of boxes with "APEXi" written on them, full of three different chromed manifolds and parts which probably don't actually go on a supra

 

8. What tires does Hector have on his Civics?

d) Pirellis

fool
