The article is a bit misleading. The SAE number is the oil viscosity grade, the viscosity is the actual thickness and is a function of temperature. Below is a graph that shows the viscosity change as a function of temperature for 2 straight grade oils and one multigrade oil. As you can see a multigrade oil (i.e.…

Kinja blogs are the home of drive-by journalism. Don’t expect much.

I’m with you. Yes, they aren’t good right now, but the constant slagging of Honda in EACH. AND. EVERY. F1. ARTICLE. is, frankly, intellectually lazy. Get some new material for crying out loud, Alanis and Jalopnik; the “let’s take another lazy-ass dig at Honda!” is beyond weak, at this point.

I feel the same about Trump. Love him or hate him, his name doesn’t need to be in every article written, regardless of the topic. I get tired of people taking shots at him on totally unrelated topics, regardless of my personal opinions of him.

And Jalopnik is the king of low hanging fruit.

Yeah, I mean, I get it, they’re bad, and to say they’ve had trouble is an understatement. But the coverage is frustrating, and I feel like it’s the thing written about the most on this website that’s F1 related. So it’s extra annoying to me when articles that aren’t even about them seem to always include some dumb…

Is this website capable of writing an F1 article without taking a swipe at Honda.

Assuming this is a pre production test mule.

I’m not sure that phrase means what you think it means...

On a more serious note, the car is beautiful. I do hope you add a video of the driving experience once it’s complete.

When I asked around about this, own Kristen told me “no because i hate eye contact with strangers,” and “if i look it’s to stare them down” which sure makes her seem far more terrifying than the lovely person I know her to be.

Day 2 and the headline has not been corrected to reflect that it’s a Ford and not a Lincoln which was never sold in Australia. Freezing the frame clearly shows it’s the front of a Fairlane or LTD. It’s leaning towards LTD with “waterfall” vertical bars detected in the video still.

Torch this happened in Victoria on the East Coast, not Perth WA. It’s not a Lincoln, it’s a Ford Fairlane Ghia

At this point Lotus is just Marge Simpson resewing that Chanel dress.

It’s a Ford Fairlane.

There were no Lincolns sold in Australia. That was a NL Fairlane Ghia (1996-99) which was a long wheelbase Falcon. Since Lincolns were never offered in Australia, they sold tarted up Fairlanes as luxurious LTDs (DL series) and promoted them in sales literature as having “LincolnType Design”. Australian LTDs use a…

2) it’s a Ford Fairlane

Ford Fairliane Ghia.

Yeah, nah.. Not a Lincoln..
