As I said elsewhere, as much as I love watching motorsport in rainy conditions, racing a bike on a surface that slippery and with the much spray is ridiculous. You have to question whether they should have red flagged.

I looked at buying one of those once, or at least the 200SX (2 litre turbo) version they sold over here, but the costs of insurance were sky-high so I gave it a miss, it would have ruined me.

My understanding is that they became classic the instant they stopped making them, before that they were current, great and soon to become classic.

A giant robot, obviously.

I think they are semi-autonomous because no-one yet trusts them to be fully independent and they are allowed onto the road with the proviso that there is someone able to take full control instantly if they mess up. A fully autonomous car would not have a provision for a driver at all, no-one trusts the technology…

CP Until I test it and see if it bends, no mention of strengthening in there, if it is rigid, then NP.

I'm sorry, but it sounds a little too half-arsed. "It ran for a year, but then stopped because I probably hadn't fitting it correctly"? What else is undetected in there? CP.

If you leave skidmarks, yes. And then you make up some lie to the cleaners or pretend ignorance. Not saying I've done that, no, that would be naughty.

Was just thinking that. Honestly, they don't serve a purpose and they don't make your car look any better, they don't even make your screen washers shoot luminous goo.

Morris Traveller, slow, probably unreliable and not in any way trying to be cool.

And now I'm expecting an outbreak of giant mutant chickens, buried long ago somewhere in Germany with feed and an atomic device these birds have bred and grown to monstrous size!

The Red Bull Soapbox Race London, at Alexandria palace.

They still are, although I don't think the tractor firm is still attached to the car maker.

The Floor is lava!

Last story like this I heard, a three year old boy bought a pink Nissan Figaro. Not exactly sure what that indicates about his vehicular future...

Making children is a great hobby. What happens afterwards? Less so.

It was a grass runway, so would have been smoother (and harder) than your typical field.

Cardboard and gaffer tape is a cheap alternative to lightweight carbon fibre.

Aston Martin, what comes to mind is a big growly engine spinning the rear tires on a luxury machine, not some rebadged japanese city car, no matter how nice the interior is.

While the outside of the Gremlin makes it more attractive, the interior of the Concord really sells it to me, its just so gloriously vile!
