In reality this has been a pretty decent winter testing for McLaren based on how awful last year was for other teams with brand new power trains. I think RBR had a total of 37 laps through the whole test regime with the Renault PU.

Three wheels good!

This is what I thought at first too, but from what I've read in other places and seen on ESPN this morning it has been brought up before.

Straight 6 XJS's are like friggin hens teeth. I would love one but they're damned hard to find.

I'm just glad it wasn't followed by a slow speed chase.

Sounds like the more experienced pilot was the one who was at fault.

Think I'd rather turn around than run going backwards. Either way there's going to be trail of brown if you run across a Panzer in any scout car.

Had it on a mid-late 70's ATC 110 too.

While I stay away from references to that incident and keep it about the racing...

Pretty much. Nothing inspiring about him. He's a safe pair of hands but is never going to get the most out of a car. Although he seems to think he's better than he is.

"I'm deeply concerned that I can't tell Sebastian Vettel apart from his teammates who have less of a fondness for bass boat sparkles," said no one ever.

I have no idea what that represents so I'm going to guess.

Grumble, grumble, read the article, grumble, grumble.

thanks for the correction. I was working off something I read a while ago and the turine use in modern tanks stuck in my mind.

I didn't run for years because of how much the heels had grown over the years. I've always been a mid foot striker and those shoes meant I either had to really point my toes before impact, or let the heel scuff into the landing.

Ah, how I miss Milo, Opus, and the rest of the Bloom County gang.

Middle child you say?

Porsches (unsuccessful) proposed design for the Tiger tank had two turbine engines to run generators which supplied power to two electric motors.

I'm 51 and had a Soul as a rental recently and is now near the top of my list for my next vehicle. It's roomy enough inside, has plenty of space to haul around what I normallt need to haul, and beet of all has a truck like upright seating position.
