The questions is:  Will it fit in the undersea dock at my mansion/spaceport built inside a volcano?  Asking for a friend.

The base seats in a Mk1 Ford Focus absolutely kill my bad knee as there’s no support whatsoever.  I test drove one back in the day and only just made it back to the dealer, great car, bad seats.

To be fair, if he didn’t have it tattooed somewhere, Beckham would probably forget his own name.

Nick Park. Think of all the money you’ll save on crashing cars and CGI if you just made it all out of modelling clay. There are already great chase sequences in the Wallace and Gromit films, so it’s not completely out of his league.

He should also write and sing the theme song.

And there was me thinking that the entire premise was to titillate audiences and to be able to shout “Whoo! Yeah, bro!”.  I assume the safety precautions included someone to hold their beers.

Badges. Everyone knows the BMW M120D is much faster than the regular 120D. Why spend loads on performance upgrades to make your car as fast as the top spec when a little glue and a lot of imagination can do the same for a fraction of the price? You car doesn’t have a desirable sporty version? Cheat. Everyone knows the …

I’m fairly certain that’s more of a thing in the states and that unless it is being used for illegal purposes or falls under the UK’s proceeds of crime laws they can only seize them under government sanctions, which will need at least some evidence of ownership.

Here’s the secret very few people will tell you, it is not necessary to understand every little thing to enjoy the racing. Some people get into the sport because they support a driver, or a team, like watching cars go fast, enjoy the technical aspects, the strategy, the politics or the drama, all of these are the…

Rich Energy was a much better sponsor.

Did they design that or just vomit it?

I assumed when it said that the car was doing 90 then  it was somewhere where such speeds would be excessive, but no, it somewhere such speeds are insane.  It doesn’t matter what you’re driving, 90 in that area is probably going to end up in a crash and any crash at 90 has a good chance of being fatal.  Hell, round…

Would it cost so much more to use barriers that cover the entire road? I don’t live in the US, so maybe I don’t get the urge to throw yourself into the path of hundreds of tons of quick moving steel, but the crossing by where I work has full barriers with a lower fence, if you’re going to cast yourself into a train you…

Read that as “Manatees”, I’d much rather be a manatee than a metamate.

The World’s End, and it’s Vauxhall placement. The “hero” car is an old Ford Granada, one the the character works at an Audi dealer (iirc), but once they get to the creepy village most of the cars (and adverts) are brand new Vauxhalls, now that’s scary.

Where do you park it?

This is the sort of thing electric vehicles could excel in, although the initial outlay would probably be much higher.  Amazon have started using electric vans for their last mile stuff in my area, and I can’t fault them for that.

You’re right there, I remember having to have proof of yellow fever (or was it smallpox?) vaccination before going on holiday to Peru.  F1 and the teams are going to want their crews to be able to get into all these countries they visit. make it difficult for them and they’ll find some way of replacing you.

Much as I look forward to seeing the new cars on the track driven in anger, I’ll reserve my judgement until things start to pan out a little. It could be unpredictable and/or exciting, or it could be a snoozefest, changing stuff doesn’t automatically make it better.

Do you still see it out of the corner of your eye when you are alone at night?
