Seems somewhat reminiscent of the pairing of Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello during Ferrari’s world championship streak. Rubens was really very good but not to the point where he ever really stood a chance of topping Michael so he made the perfect wingman. He got on the podium enough to bulk up the…

Before the Spectrum was even a gleam in Clive’s eye he made the Sinclair Cambridge calculator in kit form. And I got one for my birthday in 1974, spent a bit of time putting it together then wowed my friends with my magnificent prize.

“Dude has problems.”

Team with decades of motorsport experience beats subpar vehicles of new guy, more news at 11.  

Anti choice on this, but masks in schools? Oh that’s a choice.

Spot on.

I guess to me this kind of thing is reminiscent of the Titanic, the band plays on while we rearrange the deckchairs because what else can you do?

Have you seen the traffic in Thailand? These will work just fine cause most of the time you’ll be rolling at walking speed.  

S0 aside from a couple of dudes with reasonable graphics skills and some rendering software, what else do you need to be an EV startup? 

At present the biggest issue (chips aside) for most automakers is getting the batteries. Until the supply chain for battery manufacturing really ramps up it’s doubtful anyone is going to be selling DIY “crate” batteries.

“That means I have a soft spot in my head… er, heart for the little buggers.”

Consider that the Aussie minimum wage is just a tad under $20/hr and you can soon see why. Then factor in that current stats show that 95% of workers actually make above minimum and it’s pretty obvious where the skew is.

When I was 16 the local VW dealer was also the Porsche dealer. I was building up an off road Baja bug from a wreck I got for $50 as well as looking out for a decent Beetle as my first car so visited the dealer parts dept almost weekly.

Just the fact that the girls are calling her mom speaks volumes, they know where the love comes from. 

Those Robinson’s are used in Australia for mustering cattle on multimillion acre stations in the Northern Territory and northern Western Australia. It’s a very risky occupation, deaths are not uncommon. But having seen them bumping cows asses with the skids I can understand why.

Ok, so it’s not a 1000 word fluff piece you can consume for a laugh.

There was the Brabham SSS, which stood for Short Stroke Special.
