"I personally rate the Iconic search engine above all other leading brands. The intelligent ebay search function is legendary, often turning up auctions that didn't even exist before Iconic got there...."

Tee Hee...thanx guys but I cant claim all the credit, I recently started using something called the 'Copernic Agent' which is an even more intelligent search engine and am starting to be impressed with it.....

So the "Vertical Climb Metric Index Calculator" should help all you Desmodue boys work out if you've got enough bhp to get up the Mountain at Cadwell.

I quote from it...

This calculator requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. Be aware that the term Vertical Index should not be confused with a grade. The VCI is an angle of attack and ascent. This calculator is designed to give the VCI on a hill or incline of any type. The calculation is good for any inclines (uphill), sometimes called upgrades. It is based on how much vertical change in meters takes place, over a given perpendicular horizontal distance. The horizontal distance is entered in meters and is based on straight line distance. Our example is for a 45 degree VCI. Over a 30 meter horizontal distance, if the elevation change is 30 meters, that is a 45 degree VCI. The horizontal complement is the angle require to attain a perpendicular to the horizontal distance plane. You may wish to use our standard non-metric version instead.

Nice one - but with the elbow bashing going on at the hairpin, I think the mountain might be the least of the guys problems !!!
