Literally have never heard of her outside of the context of Brundle’s grid walk. I think F1 will be fine. 

Replied to wrong person

I see you haven’t taken much time to think about this. 

Which, even if it were true, she’d still do better than you. 

This is more in line with what the forever ensign wore in Voyager:

I don’t think I’d even heard of the 2000GT until I started reading these pages some time between the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, so sheltered was my car-loving existence. I always loved the lines of the car, but could never warm to its face. Now I’m old and aged like a good whiskey, I appreciate the car as a…

Copying and pasting my Twitter reply, with some amendments as I’m not character limited, because I’m a lazy fuck:

Could just as easily be a portmanteau of “Sport” and “pottage”, ye olde Englishe worde for “stew”. After all, knowledge is pottage

I didn’t think that looked good when it was new, to be fair. 

I kinda love it. Didn’t see the side stripe until I knew to look for it from reading the copy. I dare say, it might be too subtle, but I like it anyway.

Ford: no-one wants to buy old-fashioned, standard-height cars any more, so we’re going to remove them from our entire lineup, except for the Mustang and replace everything with crossovers.

The Pontiac Solstice?

I don’t remember this so much, though I do think it looks cool. The one that sticks in my memory was the Dodge Hornet concept. I remember being strangely drawn to this at the time.

My local petrol stations in the northeast of Ireland are charging on average about U$1.95 per litre at the moment, or about $7.46 per gallon. I haven’t been to Dublin in quite a while but I’d imagine the prices there would be well in line with what you’re paying in Sweden. When I was working in Dublin, where my daily…

I wish we only paid (the equivalent of) $7/gallon in Ireland. And there are more expensive places for fuel in Europe than here. 

Love the look of the Rivian vehicles. Not sure they’re going to be sold this side of the Atlantic, and they’d likely be way out of my price range!

How’s it any more anecdotal than what you said? If it was one car, it would be anecdotal. Two cars - is that a fluke? My brother had an 06 S60 (which he bought before I got mine - and was the reason I chose an S60) and it was tight as a drum the day he sold it on (though he was better at keeping service intervals than…

My V70 is a 2006. And since I’m not likely to be getting a new car any time soon, I will definitely avail of the recall.

My response was intended to be tongue-in-cheek, due to Ryanair’s (allegedly) lax standards and Michael O’Leary’s eagerness to get in the news, even with negative, untrue or deliberately exaggerated stories (eg, their rumoured attempt to introduce flights with standing room only - https://jalopnik.com/europes-no-1-cheap…

Don’t need to name them. It was almost certainly Ryanair.
