It’s a crappy question. But sometimes even the crappy questions have to be asked. Or better yet, answered. Kicksthecan*

It’s CP, but it did actually turn uniquely attractive in its way. Kudos to the guy for that.

That was pretty hilarious.

You’re right. But with a CVT it could go! The tranny sucks anyway, swap it!

45Hp sounds like it would actually be pretty substantial for that little thing. I would have expected more like 20.

No problem, the trip is next September! :)

Winning, or being nominated for awards doesn’t suddenly make you infallible.

I don’t hate you, congrats! I’ll be visiting Ireland next year... are you nearby?! Lol.

If they are the only ones writing the script, then yeah. Just because they are fired from doing the writing doesn’t mean they are fired as being the hosts. Remember how terrible that weird military relive-the-situation-over-and-over-again episode was? Most of last season and the most recent five or six of Top Gear…

This should be called Black Beauty syndrome.

This is basically where I am at. It’s his writers that needed to get the boot, not him!

I didn’t say rich people are breeding amazing racing drivers. I specifically said that in the other 99.7% there is almost certainly people who, given the opportunity and means, could surpass the talent on grids today. But still, among the tens of thousands of racing drivers out there lots of people won’t be able to…

I’d definitely agree with you, but I still don’t think you can reach Senna, Hamilton, Alonso and Verstappen levels of skill without that X factor.

I don’t think that’s what he meant. That would be silly. It would mean he doesn’t believe his teammate Hamilton exists. It’s more a statement of the increased odds of having that natural aptitude if you’re parents did also.

I totally agree. Something like ski jumping is limited by proximity to proper facilities and regular snow, as opposed to costs being the limiting factor, so you end up having something like .3% of the population with access to these sports. Is there someone with better natural talent in the 99.7% of the worlds…

So natural talent is now too PC? You give ten 5 year-olds a soccer ball for the first time and 7 will be terrible, 2 will be good and 1 will excel. Of course hard work and practice will go a very long way to neutralize and flatten the results, but to pretend some people aren’t naturally athletic (with a lot of that…

My favorite of all my favorite cars.

Well, no. But darn it if don’t love that thing!
