wonder what sort of brakes Dakar race trucks must need. The momentum of something that huge come barreling at you boggles the mind.

I’ve seen some incredible cars trundling down knightsbridge in first gear but I really wish I got to see that Kamaz up close when they shot this. Looks incredible.

I always knew of De Rooy’s dual engined monster but I never imagined the engine layout would be as such. That’s incredible! it’s basically like that Dr Doolittle two ended zebra thing (can’t remember what it was called).

Man I just really love reading your UFC articles Nathan. You take to writing about the fight game with the same panache Brian Phillips does to tennis. Keep at it man.

I have an excellent story from my masters involving the Chinese students. So basically our whole year got called up by uni big wigs for plagiarism. Quickly became apparent it was the Chinese students. They thought referencing was an afterthought. So anyway the whole year is forced to do this online multiple choice…

Honestly, Sauber aren’t in the best of places. To see your drivers petulantly stack it so royally makes my blood boil. Honestly, I was half expecting Monisha to drop kick Ericsson as he made his way up for the debrief. What a collosal dingleberry. Argh. If he doesn’t show up with a black eye or his teeth even more…

Well put. I’m beside myself at the manner in which Dan has been marginalised in the last two races. The last one, fine, as a commercial entity I can understand the motivation for RB to go for the record and the headlines. That’s what their shareholders and owner look at. It’s what’s best for the brand.

It’s true, there are so many problems. There are times I try and think about them but then I give up because I realise it’s futile and my mind isn’t cut out for it.

It is true the regulations in place are lax at best but it’s a customer mindset as well. Most of the cars here are aimed at the lowest common denominator of vehicle ownership. People stepping up from motorbikes for example or first time buyers. Or folks in more rural parts of India, tier 2 cities etc. You wouldn’t…

true story, I remember going to get the dealership once and overhearing a customer complaining how he’d rather the the 50 quid for the seat belts be spent on a stereo system. This was in the mid 2000's when many cars didn’t come with belts as standard. In that regard things have changed a bit for the better.

this is a very good point.

Oh, I’m glad my directions were helpful. It really is an amazing place to live. So posh, I felt like a complete yokel for the first year but by my third year, even though I still thought I was a bit rough it was only when I moved further north that I came to realise some of the posh seeps in. I only realised how great…

I lived further down the road in Evelyn Gardens but I’d walk by on the way to uni there for years. And definitely know what you mean about window browsing with a pint. I still say the most beautiful car I’ve ever laid eyes on was an open top Maserati, bright red with a huge gaping maw, raucous as almighty hell, rather…

I lived down the road from where this was taken, there used to be a bunch of student halls. Now students love to cycle to uni and as such the front of each hall would have a bunch of cycles. However there were a few particularly enthusiastic parking officers, helped by a particularly odious old hag who lived on the…

Actually if you turn off towards South Ken station at the end of Queens Gate and take the alley behind the Tesco you’ll find this small dealer with the best antique cars. Is that the one you mean?

Dana you pig-headed yokel, heed these words. In the meantime, montage-montage-montage Mcgregor

this is amazing! what a find

is this Bernie’s newest crash absorbent barrier tech?

I wonder if Mclaren get penalised under the current rules for the new parts needed?

On a related note, anyone else think Turkey used to be a great race? Maybe I don’t recall correctly.
