That crossed my mind too, but thought it must be far too complicated, and there’s the problem of riders who miss races. I just looked it up to be sure and apparently we’re both wrong, instead it’s a points system with points awarded to the top fifteen, in exactly the same amounts as the finishing positions.

If I remember correctly, BMW give a car to whichever MotoGP rider gains the most pole positions through the season, as well as providing the safety cars. So BMW already has a connection and history of giving cars as prizes to bikers.

There are aftermarket options.

The second-hand dealership I worked for would take refundable deposits before booking test drives because the layout of the site meant a lot of messing around for most vehicles, which would need to be done in advance.

He’s kind of real, as in there’s a real person sat there, and the picture hasn’t been doctored, but it’s stuffing, and he’s a character. This is Sir Les Patterson, a creation of Barry Humphries, who’s perhaps better known as Dame Edna Everage. The character is deliberately disgusting, with the one possibly redeeming…

That isn’t her make-up. He’s so radiant it’s his reflection.

It could be worse.

“Pence Apologised? Sad! Pathetic! Fire him!”

Wasn’t there a story a while ago about a legal case involving the Earnhardt name and houses? Something long the lines of one of the other family members using the name for building or renovation, and the wicked stepmother suing to stop them?
