Oh it would be drastically unfair to do so, but it’s a lot of fun to watch Carlin/McLaren struggle with something that the European F1 audiences (en mass, not as necessarily across the board) have spent a lot of time writing off as uncomplicated automotive wankery.

1. His motorsport background is largely European, aside from some sports car racing in North America and a brief stint running around in NASCAR marketing where he disenfranchised himself with almost everyone he came in contact with.

Three words: English motorsport arrogance.

Obviously planted by Customs to eliminate a patsy for their ringers.

The most impressive feature of these photos is how well you managed to keep out of frame the swaths of “former B-list extreme sports athlete who fell ass-backwards into a small fortune and bought an air-cooled 911 when you could pick them up in exchange for a pack of cigarettes and a handjob and wants to talk to you…

As a result of allowing the proletariat access to cheap air travel, the process can sometimes involve long lines (which you can generally…

Three lefts.

I think those are both probably accurate. I think along with the proximity bit something I notice is a high level of group commiseration; one person expresses anguish at the situation and it seems like everyone else at the gate is champing at the bit to join in, and the negativity sort of fuels itself.
