F1 is the biggie. I generally watch it in the evening so avoid social media all Sunday til - WHAM - "Alonso wins on home turf" or other such email alert pops up on my iPhone lock screen.

The winner. Suzuki Ionis concept. And a bunch more

This is my second time in a Gallardo (#humblebrag), and once again I was a little shocked by the braking. The pedal is a bit numb at first and grabs further down in the travel. But it grabs hard. It's unlike the brakes on any of the other cars that I've recently driven, so it takes some getting used to.

I just read through the insurance docs from Jaguar for an XKR they're loaning me for 2 weeks. Frightening stuff. If I was of the pessimistic persuasion I'd refuse the loan. It's 3rd party insurance!

The nacelles of some of the larger turbines are as big as an SUV! Amazing how large they are when you get up close

Nothing scary on ze Autobahn. 145mph in my Golf. Brilliant roads. The French plated cars are a bit random. What's weird are the scarecrows in hi-viz perched atop the central reservation, presumably just to make you think

I didn't know that. It was unclear at the time I posted it - no-one seemed to know. thanks

Took me an hour but a rigger would shoot up in 30 minutes or less. I had to stop at each rest platform for a...rest! I also used double lanyards because there wasn't a rail-lock system - and that's hard on the arms

Shite. I've climbed an 80 metre telecoms tower and that was über scary. Can't imagine what this thing must be like

Nope. Cake required

Here's another - an Aston Martin Rapide getting totalled whilst on a test drive

Well here's a video of a Lamborghini being crashed on purpose to make up for it

What's the point of it then?

She needs to eat some food. Too skinny

Good point - but my motorcycle spits fire already

Yes, but it could desiccate it itself then it'd blow away in the breeze

Question is, would you happily give up your cars in return for a pet dragon?

Specifically, while most vehicles did well in the full-width frontal crash test, almost all of the other toasters sucked it up hard in the IIHS's frontal overlap crash, earning either a poor or marginal. The poor group includes the Escape, Sportage, Tuscon, Encore, Patriot, and Encore while the rest of your small CUVs…

Mandating such driver aids is a stupid and horrible thing to do and would only increase lack of observation and engagement at the wheel.

Haha. I was being slightly oblique on purpose as I've only got Xbox
