Good thing she had her windscreen wipers on.

I’m sure plenty of people rent performance cars purely for pose value. I mean, your view that every performance car rented is driven hard is similar to believing that every vehicle that’s capable of going offroad through rough terrain is actually driven that way. A lot may be but a lot aren’t.

I don’t own a bike either, sadly. Because I don’t trust the drivers here in the US to share the road with them behind me, while I’d be on such an exposed and unprotected vehicle. And it’s a shame because I lived for 30 years in Canberra, Australia, and really, really miss the excellent bike paths that run through…

And where are they supposed to build them? The same place they’re supposed to build a decent rail network? It’s impossible because Detroit long ago ensured that roads and freeways took all the available land in most places where rail networks or even bike paths could otherwise have been built to serve communities.…

Depends what you class as entertaining I guess.

From the fringe that prefers a car show to be about cars, rather than a series of juvenile comedy sketches with some cars in them.

It’s a shame that it took “reality TV” to broaden the appeal in the US, since I prefer the actual reality rather than a dramatized version of it. But I guess that’s a sign of the times we’re living in, and it’s better than having the sport struggling to attract fans and therefore sponsors.

Top Gear was a good show about cars under Tiff Needel, before Clarkson came and turned it into a clown show and a vehicle for his boorish bloviating.

Not going hunting for images but a lot of Ford GT40's used Simca 1000 taillights and TVR Griffith 400’s used Mk 1 Cortina taillights.

The worst is when the road is wet and you have the bright headlights shining at you, along with their reflections from the road, and you can’t see the lane markings. My eyes are pretty good for night driving but lane markings on wet roads at night with oncoming lights are a real challenge.

The ad has been showing up on my Fire TV home page, with McDonald’s sponsorship. I’m hoping they’ll pull their sponsorship of the boorish blowhard a-hole as well.

I’m an old white man and I don’t feel any of that. I guess my primitive lizard brain somehow went in another direction.

Same boorish blowhard as he always was.

Unfortunately the entire gutter rag Murdoch and copycat press has the same hateful attitude towards her. Constant badgering, as if it’s the most important thing they have to report on.

Glad I’m not the only one. I preferred the original ‘73 Mustang Eleanor to what they did to the GT500 version.

Much of the good reporting that takes place, which shines a light on things that the public deserves to know about in numerous aspects of public life, draws its information from experts and investigative journalists posting their findings on Twitter. There isn’t a good alternative that allows so many sources to reach…

Cool story bro. You’re wrong though.

I didn’t have a house to mortgage, or anywhere close to a deposit on one. Just very lucky to be in the right job at the right time.

Short answer - not in the foreseeable future.

Yes, it was unique and if anything I appreciate that I had the opportunity to do it even more now. I only recently bought a negative scanner and found some of my photos from my flights, including one taken of me on board, after the prints were somehow misplaced.
