That's right, but luckily nobody said Jim Clark was killed in an F1 car. The article says Jim Clark was killed in a Lotus, which he was, and that the program is about F1 racing in the 60s and 70s, which it is.

Exactly. More about the era than explicitly F1.

But the reason it's included is because it was the same teams (Lotus), drivers (Clark, Hill), and tracks (Hockenheim) as F1, and even with smaller engines, the problems (unsafe conditions) and results (death) were the same. In fact, the Lotus 48 in which Clark was killed was previously raced in F1 (in 1967), so it was…

F1 in the 1960s didn't have a sponsor, nor a strong governing body or rights-holder. Jim Clark, already multiple world champion in F1 by this time, was racing both F1 and F2 (along with almost all of the drivers of the day), therefore creating the overlap. By comparing that era to today's F1 and GP2, both strictly…

The documentary does make a point to differentiate that, but it's kind of like separating Sprint Cup and Nationwide races. If Dale Earnhardt had been killed in a Nationwide race, we'd still consider it a "NASCAR accident".

I caught it the other night on BBC4 and can say that this film is a truly terrific (and terrifying) look at the insanity of a time that many of us look back on as the "glory years" of F1. The images are graphic and the interviews poignant, and the gruesome images of burning bodies make a horrifying counterpoint to…

With this tower's timidness, the terrorists have won.

Absolute bitch to parallel park though, no three-quarter visibility at all.

I didn't say it didn't suck, I just said you can't expect them to develop a car that already exists. Wouldn't make for a very good spy photo now would it?

Um, probably because they already make a wagon, both 3-series and 5-series.

I learned to drive on a wagon version of this exact car, same color, same wheels, same turbocharger, but this one must have the all-too-common exhaust leak if the owner thinks it's worth $18k.

Right, so like I said, if you think that's the same as what they're doing, then you're just an idiot. The fact that you're an ass too just confirms my point.

I understand what you're saying, but I think it's utter bullshit, sorry. This style is something I'd never seen before Layzell started it. Was Tim "inspired" by others before him? Of course he was, all artists are, but that's what differentiates his work from Miha's. He took an established "look" and modernized it,…

I agree, have agreed. We agree.

The reason there's scaffolding is because they're reconstructing it.

Not disagreeing with that in the slightest.

It's a ripoff, if not blatant plagiarism, because Miha says on his site that he "started a new style" in 2008 that looks identical to what Tim Layzell has been doing for over a decade. That's copying. He's not reproducing Tim Layzell's paintings, but he's passing off someone's unique style as his own, and that's…

I believe respect for the law left with the borderline abusive power-hungry above-the-law glorified mall cops that roam so many suburban towns in the US, getting off on screwing people with minor offenses. That said, these douches got what they deserved.

That's cool, but it seems Miha has completely ripped off Tim Layzell, who does stunning acrylic paintings of vintage racing moments: [www.timlayzell.com]

It doesn't seem to be carrier related, as even with alternate SIMs inserted (and active), there's still just no Carrier Data option. I've seen lots of people complaining about the same thing on forums, etc., but have yet to see a solution (other than APN Editing, which won't install for me).
