Had an "interesting" experience today. Ran an errand this morning to a local hardware shop and on the way back I had to wait for a gap in traffic to make a right turn. The turn is about 100 yards out from some bad bends and has a 30mph speed limit. So i'm sitting there in 3rd gear waiting for a gap. Looked in the rearview and see a white freezer truck round the bend at warp speed and the driver has dropped something in the cab and is not looking at the road
I rammed the accelerator to the floor (and I do mean RAMMED!) and leaned on the horn. One back tyre broke traction briefly and the car launched forward. Truck kept getting bigger and bigger in the rearview then when I was bracing for the impact we pulled apart. I reckon I did 0-40mph in about 3 seconds!! Got back to work and we plugged in laptop into the bmv600. It had caught a peak current of 541Amps.
The funny thing is that Adam had asked me to do this several times and I never did as i figured I'd break something!

Now, Cole, when you shift the gear and that little needle on the ammeter goes into the red and reads 2000 Amps, that's bad.
