Ian, great to have you here. I'm a huge fan of the E-Type and DB7 (and similarly the XK8), and it seems to me that modern-day sportscar design has become rather fussy, concerned with all kinds of vents and creases everywhere. Do you think that the elegance of simplicity found in those designs will make a comeback…

I'd be quite skeptical of how effective this could be. Seeing that the power output of a wind turbine scales with the square of its diameter, you'd need thousands of these to get any kind of utility.

The MTM Bimoto was always my favourite nutty TT. Two engines, one in the front, one in the back!

Not quite like that any more. :)

It's along the lines of this Renault-Renault...

My daily is a Vostok-Europe N1 Rocket - it's a nice chunky automatic diver, with tritium tube markers on the dial for all-night glow. Russian watches aren't the most common sight, but I love the style and I'm on my second now, after a Vostok Amphibian.

Forget the amber, try the bones themselves!

Those girly men should just fit an Arnold Exhaust.

A really effective manipulative alarm clock would threaten to send abusive texts to your boss and/or mother-in-law if you hit the snooze button one more time...

I had a week-old phone slip out of my pocket a few years back, and go off the side of a boat into a marina.

Or, the requirement to wash the eggs could be removed. Works perfectly well in the UK.

Since the A380, which also began with the -800, Boeing and Airbus seemed to like starting with the -8/800 models of aircraft, because the number 8 is deemed lucky in Asia. Likewise, the A350 started with the -800 and Boeing skipped the -5, -6 and -700, when launching the -8 model (which has proved so lucky so far).

Even…

Nope.

It did go up.

Nope.

They did retract them during the flight.

Wow, did anyone actually watch the stream? The gear did indeed retract!

If you want a great interview with Sir Stirling, and one of the best BBC motorsport conversations in years, Hammond meets Moss is it.

That may fit something small like a business jet engine, but for the big airliner engines from Rolls Royce and Pratt & Whitney, the GLACIER research facility in Manitoba is the way to go. Can't beat -40C temperatures for cold weather testing!
