tbh mate when i bought the clio bugeye i had been driving cars with electrics for years and found it quite amusing to have wind up windows and no remote or central locking lol

bmi isnt much on its own lol

you need to know your body composition (how much of you weight is fat/muscle/bone etc)

how do you work that out?

you need specialist equipment, its basically a water tank and a fancy computer and some scales

you get weighed, then weighed again whilst in the water (as fat floats). the difference in the two figures is how much fat you have, then you jiggle the figures around to create a percentage of body fat and muscle/bone/other

think mine is something like 0% body fat haha
