Always loved the F40.

Dude, Stef is not a "he".

I remember seeing one when they were new, being hooned! The owner slapped paper plates on it, and drove down to Philip Island race track for a club sprint meeting (the equivalent of a NASA TT).

My winsxs folder is currently 10.2GB, but the cleanup tool is only offering to remove 2.27GB. It's a start, but it's not quite what I was expecting.

It sounds like it will give you a heads-up, both visually and by push notification, before the battery gets critically low.

The track is completely unused for the other 51 weeks of the year - by all accounts the organizers just padlock the gates and walk away for a year. I remember reading that when the teams returned for the second running of the Korean GP, they found the fridges still contained the leftover food that they had left there…

Sounds like the guy has a bone to pick with the dealership.

Top effort; bonus points for the sheer volume of shrapnel.

I would start by placing a screenshot on the dash or under the wiper, with a link to this URL and "Smile, asshole, you're on Candid Camera."

Wow, that seems like an incredibly inefficient process.

Uh, no. the lights never went out, the boom gate only went up because some guys manhandled it, and the barrier only went down because two guys stood on it. Once they stepped off, it came right back up again, as the crossing was still active.

So did Eric Bana eventually rebuild The Beast, and if so, did he plinth it?

Wow, their museum has come a long way since I visited it back in the late 80's. Back then it was housed in little more than a shed out the back of the Stuttgart factory, and they only had enough room to display a couple of dozen cars, so it was a crap shoot what you would find there on any given day.

8.) Playing the shepherd

Methinks you're being a little hard on young Daniel, who has given a pretty good accounting of himself in the second-string team.

A traditional Paddock Basher was some old clunker that rural kids used to move hay bales around, check the sheep in the back forty, or run other errands on the property. More often than not, it was an old family sedan that had been totaled or otherwise retired from legal street use and resurrected for duty where…

I took our niece out to the darkest spot available without driving 50 miles out of Austin. Obviously, still being that close to the city, the skies never get really dark, but once the moon had set we did get to see a few Perseids and a couple of other random "shooting stars." I only managed to catch one on "film"…

I was thinking more along the lines of genuine SAS drives, which also have a much better MTBF.

Hard disc manufacturers make different grades of drives for different applications. Generally speaking, desktop drives are not the best choice for NAS or SAN storage.
