Glad to see you’re not afraid of the car Tav. It is after all just a car. It may have complex british systems with across the pond logic. But overall it’s really just another car. With enough patience you can repair anything yourself. Just crack open the wallet for parts and tools that will not only be “Specialty” but…

Pretty dumb of Long to turn in so massively early. I heard about the incident and had a completely different picture in mind. That is some weirdly excessive defending from Long, and if he was thinking more of the championship he should have let O’Connell go.

Any act by a supervisor is attributable to the company itself, particularly if there were any complaints by the plaintiff. No matter how old the guy was when he was hired, he was supposed to have a workplace free of age discrimination, if that’s what happened.

I don’t think that was a landing plane - the source article suggests they were set up as a starting grid, and engine trouble had Richard kill his ignition and open his canopy, as per procedure for a failed aircraft, which the race organisers/flight control/whomever -should- have noticed.
I think there’s going to be a…

This is a Saab 95:

Depends on the year. This is a 2000, so it still had some issues. The ironed them all out for ‘02 I believe.

Why would they put a helipad right next to a building? Sure it isn’t the “circle” on the left instead?

It can still do that, just lift it about 39 meters and let ‘er drop.

I suspect its a matter of making sure there is NO bounce on impact. If you watch the POV video you can see the rear tire skipping over the path because the rebound is so slow.

ENOUGH WITH THE MOBILE ADS! Seriously, an advertisement in between each and every single fucking comment thread? This is ridiculous!

if we didn’t have thick skin we wouldn’t survive in this world. this is nothing.

“...the idea of being able to do your finisher to everyone on the roster really started with the Stunner.”

He got fired by old /drive ‘mgt’ team. So, he missed all the stupidity that ensued.

If we're lucky these Olympics will kill the IOC. Not that it won't be replaced with something equally corrupt, but still... there are dozens of locations that can host the Olympics right now, and they are ignored because either a country wants the prestige of the games to overshadow their lousy human rights records or…

On my bright blue Audi, I had “SPOOOON.”

This. I’m utterly boggled that jalopniks of all people are whining about someone who wants to see people drive their freaking cars instead of sitting them in a box somewhere. Every time a Goodwood post comes up a whole lotta wood is the result, yet here we have someone saying the exact idea that Goodwood itself is…

Generally backfiring on decel after revving it up indicates you’re running a bit lean. Try turning your idle mixture screw down a bit. If you’re tuned for power its ok to have a bit of a snap crackle and pop, but not that much.
