I admit, I was tempted, but then I checked prices locally and found I could get an example with half the mileage (but admittedly with the SMG) for a good chunk less, so, no thanks.

If the Boxter is like this, how bad was the 996 the parts got ripped out of?

But I could buy a pickup with the bonus of having an actual roof.  Sorry, I don’t live in a place where roofless cars make any sense, ND.

One slight caveat in that I have no idea what a plane costs, but I know I’m not in the market for one, but the fact remains, if you were looking for a plane how much would you trust an add on Facebook?

This still allows plenty of scope during interviews outside of post-race procedure to wear slogans. F1 are just saying, don’t do that when it could hurt our brand, but we can’t and won’t stop you on your own time, which is fair, I can see my own employers being careful when we have visitors around.

Take it as a concept sketch, then, like those incredible but improbably cars we keep seeing, sooner or later an engineer will get their hands on this and it’ll start looking buildable.

My cat loose in the car? Scary. I’d say I would have 2 minutes of hiding somewhere, two minutes of climbing onto bits that he shouldn’t and then the world would turn into a sea of claws.

My cat will not stay quiet anywhere for anywhere near that length of time, unless he gets shut in somewhere, somehow he has never learned to make a fuss if he can’t get out of a room.

I added a roll of kitchen tissue because my cat rarely makes it 20 miles without leaking from one end or the other. Seriously, he is the worst car passenger I’ve ever met, a two-minute trip to the vets is a major ordeal.  Luckily it’s very rare we need to go anywhere.

I keep thinking that and then I watch the N24 (next week!) and realise a crazy mix of lower spec cars suits the venue better.

This is another side to the Covid-19 thing, there are a bunch of volunteer marshals who travel to a number of races around the world, supporting the locals for big events and training up staff at new venues. I know there’s a British contingent usually at Le Mans and a number of the F1 races, but with current…

I perturbed by the lack of suggestion on non-use for a nine-cylinder triple bank engine.

Not a stupid question, but the answer is that you don’t sail it where there is no wind. It will mostly be sailing the North Atlantic, which is not known for lack of wind, on top of that you have weather satellites, onboard weather monitoring computers and probably other clever gadgets which will let you know where the…

Remember the good old days when people like this did not have access to a platform that let them spew their crap to all and sundry?  Back in those days, you would assume any company president was a competent adult and not someone with the mentality of an aspiring 15 year old rapper.

I’d love to see this sort of thing in regular use, but I feel like I’ve been seeing these sort of promises forever. Build the damn things!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ll care about these companies when they actually start selling cars, until then they are just vaporware salesmen.

You would have thought that they could have designed a proper bracket and got magic robots to manufacture it.  Yes, I know this is actually a good solution and probably works very well, but please, you sell your cars on technological excellence, you shouldn’t be resorting to the “just put more tape on it” solution.

If you order them by the internal code found engraved on the inside of the case you get:

Nah, it’s electric, it needs an ‘e’ in there, call it the 00Ze.

They tried this a few years ago, it didn’t work very well across the whole season, but I can see how it could work better at somewhere where you can expect the weather to stay constant. However, I missed the drama and the whole tactics thing.
