I spotted a roll over, a collision and some fake editing - sounds familiar?

I was surprised to learn that 665 kilos = 3,600 lbs. Guess you learn something new every day.

According to my Iphone 665kg is 1,466 US Pounds and 3,600 US Pounds works out to 1,633kg - if one of those things weighs 665kg they would go a lot quicker!

Having driven one over here I can say they are quite underpowered and don't feel like they are really going at all - a bit like the kiddies gokarts, underpowered with hopeless tyres on!

Yeah, it's been 2.2 lbs to the kilo since I first domesticated a triceratops at the very least. I was just commenting on the cluelessness of the commentator. Have I lost my renowned (and formerly well formed) sense of sarcasm?
