Yup...

The UK and Ireland definitely received RHD E24s.

So, in addition to "Truck Yeah!", are you going to start an aquatic sub-blog for watercraft? If so, I think "Oh Ship!" would be a complementary title.

I got 15, which is 71%, on my first attempt. Could do better...

Yes, this is a fantastic stripped, caged, and race-prepped Subaru (the great Gobstopper II). Yes, this is a fantastic driver (Roger Clark). And yes, this is a fantastic onboard (the fastest lap yet of the circuit). That's fine, but I'm going to need to drive this racetrack now.

The F40 is not rare enough for this to be upsetting. They managed to produce 1315 of these cars, so if a few people want to modify them and try something different, it's cool with me.

Good discussion! So, to clarify, the Jet engine was invented by the Brits, the Military Jet Age was spearheaded by the Germans, and the Commercial Jet Age was started by the Brits. There's a bit of interpretation in there (as would be expected, this is the Internet, after all).

Hence the use of "I'd say...". Had the British Government not poo-pooed the idea, Sir Frank Whittle could have had an aircraft flying long before the Germans. As it was, he proved his concept with a flying aircraft only after the Germans had flown their first prototype.

Technically, the Nazis started the jet age by their successful but late-to-the-War Messerschmitt Me 262 project. In 1947, however, the Soviets defined the field with the MiG-15. More than 18,000 of these fighters were built.

Do Subaru have any pre-1962 cars in the UK? I'm assuming they're going to ferry you most of the way there in something modern and you'll have to walk the rest. Make sure you check out the car park as well as the displays. Always something classy there.

"Or "U2" (that's U-squared, which I can't figure out how to type)"

My first University housemate had a 2CV, and I found the shift mechanism fascinating, along with the hinged windows which were held open by air pressure differences, and the comical lean in corners and around roundabouts.

Swing axles ahoy!

From what I've found, the computer was based on the popular Z80 CPU. Most of us know this chip better as the heart of Pac-Man arcade machines, Game Boys, and business computers that ran an OS called CP/M. Even better, verything about this computer seems to have been delightfully slipshod. From one forum entry:

I'm not sure about ugliest, but the blandest was surely the Datsun Cherry Arna

H/T to Dale Lomas of Bridge to Gantry for filming this and putting it on the internet and telling us about it.

Yes, let's see them at Cadwell Park!

Wow! I remember seeing one of those while on a family holiday in France about 30 years ago. I think it was in Rouen. Everyone else was raving about the cathedral, and I was out scanning the streets for interesting cars and photographing them with my Kodak Brownie camera (with 110 film cartridges, yeah, I was that…

Actually, Villeneuve and teammate Ricardo Zonta both independently crashed their own cars. The difference being that one of them ended up on the left and the other on the right of the circuit after they'd finished demolishing themselves.

My Icelandic friend says it's bárðarbunga, and I have no reason to doubt him. His name is, after all, Þórður.
