They may not brag about the weight aspect, but just look at the model bloat of popular pickups and SUV’s compared to earlier models from a decade or two back. There’s still a bigger is better mindset in the US today, unfortunately.

With all due respect to The Hulk, until they’re driving them at speed one behind the other nobody really knows how well the changes are going to work.

Mostly correct but the Mki used the 260 in ‘64 and the 289 in ‘65 - never a 283 (which was a Chevrolet engine). And the Mki which won in ‘68 and ‘69 had a 302.

None were 283 - that was a Chevrolet engine. The first GT40's had a 260 but they soon switched to the 289, which was used at Le Mans in 1965. 1966 saw the GT40 Mkii, which as you say had a 427, but there were none of those in this Goodwood race.

That sounds promising. Perhaps you should offer to run a training course.

I’m impressed that I was able to recognise Chris Amon, from my memory of photos in magazines I bought as a kid 50 years ago.

Hope you get the chance to take more of cars out in the open with scenery, rather than at car shows. Car shows and parking lot events require too many compromises to end up with many good photos.

Why would you leave out McLaren scoring the only 1-2 finish of the season and their first race win for 9 years?

I agree with everything you said except for being glad Masi made the decision he did. Red flag would have been far better. Once he decided to finish under yellow he should have communicated early and allowed more time for the field to get sorted - not left it to the last moment and only let some cars pass.

What, no Land Rover Discovery?

The only thing I hate about F1 this year is all the haters, whichever driver they’re hating on.

They’d have to catch him first.

I thought she covered that when she said:

The worst car to ride in is the back seat of any 2 door with a big subwoofer in the back and a driver who’s determined to demonstrate what it can do to everyone in a 3 block radius. That’s the stuff nightmares are made of.

Why did you turn?

I’m a runner, not a cyclist, in part because of stories like this. I live in the US northeast but was spoiled growing up in Canberra, Australia, which has an awesome network of bike paths running through parks, bushland, by lakes etc to get from place to place, and well marked extra space on roads where you do have to…

The owner in the video said “The original car had a 426 dual quad hemi in it but they changed over to the Cadillac engine.” He may have been right about it having had a dual quad hemi but it wouldn’t have been a 426, as that wasn’t introduced until 1964.

I’ve got just the theme song for it.

They got 3rd in the championship last year, when they were still powered by Renault. And Mercedes power hasn’t helped Aston Martin so much this year, so I think it’s fair to say that McLaren has lifted its game beyond the power unit switch.

Yeah, a 1-2 just last month, followed by another race that would have been won but for a bad weather decision, hardly seems middling to me. Their F1 team has improved by leaps and bounds in past couple of seasons.
