Re #5: a truck driving through a residential area will be doing 20–30mph. That's a comfortable speed for even a fairly average RC car.

Actually, that 'System of a Down' cover of the Zelda theme wasn't them at all – it was actually by a band called Rabbit Joint.

So many NACA ducts. The one at the rear of the roof-scoop is pornographic.

Actually, Mario's stats are 27/29. Suffice it to say, he's pretty great.

I've just clipped this to Evernote, which I suspect it will soon replace. A bit like asking your wife to remember your dates with your mistress.

Stalker was just paving the way for the genre's real crowning achievement: Minecraft.

The roof of the Fiat factory.

This. This is the bit I don't like. Looks too busy, too messy, and breaks up the otherwise clean lines.

It would have worked for a lot more races, but Bernie (Brabham's team principal at the time) agreed to withdraw it for the sake of the sport.

I'm looking forward to the first time a crash rips the rear end off this thing, and the driver just keeps driving.

I seem to remember Top Gear testing a supercar – possibly a Jag? – that suffered from appalling snap oversteer in high-speed corners. Probably the worst possible handling characteristic for a track car to have, because you tend to end up in a wall before you even realise what's gone wrong. Can anyone find the clip?

In before the Veyron.

Preach! Nobody calls the Mini crap. Not on my watch. Unless by 'crap' you mean 'one of the most important and influential cars of all time'.

It's hideous.

Not quite every team in the country (it only goes down to the fifth tier or so of the National League), but close enough.

As far as I can tell, they managed to marginally improve the analogue sticks and D-pad, and completely ruin the shoulder buttons and triggers.

Thanks!

NAILED IT.

And how about this one?

Gold star for you!
