I hit a deer in an A8 at 40mph. The deer lost. So you see, all Audis are imbued with the Nuvolari spirit.

Not an uncommon situation!

Good point well made. I have heard the story of a young guy who went to a competitor firm for an interview and told the interviewer he could tell them all about what he was working on. He didn’t get the job, and by the time he got back to his studio, he didn’t have his current one any more either. Sounds so dumb I…

But when someone ignores the security rules and takes their camera phone into a sensitive area, then gets it out in said security area and takes a photo of an as-yet unreleased vehicle on the screen, then they’ve nobody to blame for getting fired but themselves. If it is a supplier somewhere then they can wave goodbye…

Does Trump faceplant into a bowl of foundation before each appearance too? You can clearly see the makeup border like a wall running along the edge of Mexico.

Funnily enough, “bitterbeau” sounds *more* like how the Germans would say it. They generally pronounce “bi” like “bee”, so “beeturboh”. And now I’m imagining an AMG full of angry, honey-crazed insects.

Funny, I didn’t see any tarps covering seats at Le Mans. Or at any WEC races for that matter. Or at the Nürburgring Truck Race. F1 needs to be stripped down to its absolute core, less rules to make it more “interesting” and then let the teams get on with building a car that simply goes faster than the next. That’s…

I bet the first name they came up with was Top Gear 2. Obviously they couldn’t use that and so kept the first letters and substituted the rest... Top Gear Two, T - G - T, becomes The Grand Tour.

If you mean who I think you mean, then he was Austrian. Although any of his closest advisors/cohorts would be eligible for UGBG...

Some reports here now that the failsafe was overriden by the rail controller in order to get one of the trains under way more quickly. I hope for his or her sake that it’s just speculative reporting.

I was there at New Year and saw the Google trucks driving around! I thought they were some kind of street cleaner thing.

RX7.

All sound like Grand Theft Auto car names...

I chose Drunkyman because I am male and like beer. I’m just glad I capitalised it properly, would have irritated my other pseudonym OCDman otherwise.

I seem to remember the old NFS games had a mechanic that used your lap times against you, it was normally most apparent in the Boss races. On lap one he’d go slow, just enough to make you push a bit. Then by lap three you’d have to be setting best laps one after another or he would blow by... I found if I went just…

I see a mix of Chappie and Chips, maybe they could give it tight tan trousers and Erik Estrada’s face...

Oh God, yes, 1000 times yes. Would love this as a daily driver next to my FD. Interesting to see how much of the concept remains into series.

Xbox Ahoy’s Iconic Arms series has also covered the M1. It’s worth a watch, along with his other videos in the IA playlist.

Does this note herald the transcendence of Godwin’s Law into the real world from the internet?

These bastards and the general Hellscape from Constantine.
