Bringing light into the darkness…

A fair Cop(car)

Luckily for getaway drivers, though, the vehicle – which can hit 60mph in 2.5 seconds – is not destined to make an appearance on our streets.

It has been specially assembled by manufacturer Caparo to impress visitors to the MPH motor show, based at Earls Court, London, this weekend before moving on to the Birmingham NEC.

“A car thief would be a little concerned if they saw one of these in the mirror,” said a Caparo spokesman. “Nothing would get away.”

Beneath the police stickers, the vehicle is a standard Caparo T1 racing car.

The spokesman said it had been adapted for regular road use, but admitted it was still “bloomin’ noisy”.

You can definitely see the F1 siring in that car. I wonder what the drag co-eff on that car is?

Portions of any work that are quoted are reproduced on the basis of the "fair dealing for purpose of criticism or review" section 41 of the Copyright Act 1968.
let's look at the Australian Copyright Council's fact sheet on Fair Use:

The Federal Court has stated that “criticism and review” involves making a judgment of the material concerned, or of the underlying ideas. Criticism and review may be strongly expressed, and may be expressed humorously, and need not be balanced. The defence can apply where the criticism or review takes place in a commercial context, such as in published books or newspapers or on commercial television.

However, the court emphasised that the purpose of criticism or review must be genuine. If the person has other motives – especially if these motives involve using the material to make a profit, or using a competitor’s material to
divert customers from the competitor – the fact that they have also engaged in a form of criticism or review is not
enough to prevent the use from infringing copyright
