I’m not sure the F1 management would be very happy, I’m not quite sure but I believe you have to get permission to change the main colours of your livery during the season (even driver’s helmets are locked in to one design now). You have to run the same livery on both cars (was it BAR who had two main sponsors and had…

Now, I love driving fast through puddles and sending spray everywhere (except when there are people who would get soaked, I’m a child, not an asshole) and it amuses me that there’s often a puddle at work where I can wash my own windscreen at less than 10 mph but you have to be having some sort of terminal brainfart to…

The warranty is specifically written like that so they do not have to pay for the repairs of James Bond’s car when it gets slightly melted by the plutonium that nearly goes into meltdown when he’s defeating a villian taking over the world from his underwater volcano base.

Well, on Euro MkI and II you can, it was part of the climate pack. Not 100% sure on MkIII.

Ford has done this on the Focus since the MkI, it really makes the frosty morning less of a hassle.

I can understand why the increase in power and torque does not equate to a better 0-60 time and top speed, the first is limited by mechanical grip, the second affected by the large increase in drag adding extra sticking-out bits to the car gives you.

Any company that is not selling anything is going to bleed cash and if they don’t actually have anything to sell people are going to lose faith and jump ship. At the moment they are not a functioning company, just a liability, with luck they have the cash reserves to turn this around, without it people will be…

Aw, it has sad eyes.

It’s not cost effective, it’s space effective. There no space around the house to build a sizable garage and it would probably prove impossible to get planning permission in that area, but it is quite common for very expensive London properties to have built underground levels with car lifts, basement swimming pools…

Like on a recent Ferrari?

I remember watching Finnish F/A-18Cs take off and land as I was waiting for my own flight as the runway near Tampere is used for both commercial and military flights.

The same goes for any car manufacturer in Europe, the reason they make these flame-spitting monsters out of ordinary cars is that people with their 1.1 diesel can say “Did you know they make a version of my car that can do 300 kph and get to 60 faster than Google translate can make sense of Geflumpfenstrummer? Or at…

That was my first thought, although the Scion looks like the designer fell asleep as he got to the rear end.

I’ve read several times that his sponsors are behind on payments, looks like Renault want to throw more of their own money at F1. They know they are not going to be anywhere near front runners so they are going for young drivers who are happy just to get the place.

Are you saying the BMW X120D M-sport I was behind the other day might not be entirely legit?

It’s okay, if you plug a Fuel Shark in it evens everything out.

Looks like they used a screwed up napkin.

I’m sure it’s a monster on the track, but visually it looks a bit messy to me. A better colour scheme would probably tidy it up somewhat, although I guess they went for substance over style.

Is anyone really looking at the wheels? I suppose you have to attract people to your stand and a Zonda will do that, it just strikes me it’s like one of those adverts that you kind of enjoy but afterwards have no recollection of what they were trying to advertise.

I have a lot of time for the Yaris, because it is the only supermini I’ve found that I can drive without getting pain in my bad knee. Normally I can’t put the seat back far enough and end up with my leg too bent or angles around the steering column, but it seems like Japan, not exactly known for it’s tall population…
