Well there was that time I sneaked into the 3rd-oldest (and long-abandoned) permanent circuit in Europe. Sitges Terramar is just outside Barcelona...

With a modern cable-operated shift mechism, the gearstick can be pretty much anywhere. All you need is enough space for the throw of the levers so they can pull the cable far enough. Routing the cable to the gearbox is not so hard.

Henry Catchpole, not Harry. Nice vid, regardless.

Meanwhile, in Russia:

When compared to the hijacking of Royal Navy personnel in 2004 and 2007, it’s clear that something has changed:

You mean the humiliation of allowing US navy vessels to run out of gas/break down/get lost? Not sure that’s a reason to start a war with the Iranians...

Here’s a conspiracy theory I just made up:

The lighting here is amazing. There must be a big searchlight just out of shot.

It’s upside down on one side and the right way up on the other side of the narrow-V. I guess it gave them the option of placing it in different cars in different orientations and still carry the name in a readable position:

It seems like there’s something missing here...

Don’t be silly. It was Avanti Papa.

I’m more of a Sugar Rush guy myself, but in real life I’d happily drive any of those cars around a major conurbation.

Unintuitive. Distracting. Dangerous. No thank you. When the vehicle is moving, controls need to be as simple as possible.

I wanted to incorporate a lot of two-up riding, so I opted for the Low Rider with the additional back rest for my little experiment.

It’s funny you should compare it to the Juke, as Shiro Nakamura oversaw the design of both vehicles.

Hey Tyler,

Finally I can control gravity from the comfort of my car!

I usually take my hand off, yes. In the unusual case that my hand is on the shifter for more than a couple of seconds I don’t rest any weight on it.

Why would you keep your hand on the shifter? That’s what the steering wheel is for. Resting your hand on the shifter is not good for the transmission.
