Classic motor racing: a time when "splash and dash" meant stopping for a quick tea.
I wish I had an apology horn or lights or something. I like to think I'm a good driver, so when I screw up I feel really bad about it.
Isn't megna that stuff that collects on the inside of a foreskin?
I've been going about this all wrong. Time to get a Nissan GT-Reliable. Jaguar XF-ReliabilitySpecial, perhaps?
Oddly enough, plate tectonics is one of the few things I remember from geography. Bhutan? Pretty sure that's a new tanning salon up the road. Uruguay? What are you calling me that for? Canada? Impossible to find, all tucked away down there...
Agreed. The V8s died when the rev limits were put on them; I think a Renault engineer said that they could've run 20,000RPM (or more) consistently and reliably. The V8s were strangled at 18,000RPM, and sounded like shit. I don't care if the new turbos are quiet, the old engines did not sound any better (louder, sure,…

This, from BMW these days is no surprise. It's basically become acceptable because it's jus so expected that a new niche is found and promptly filled.
The article failed to mention it was a "light" decapitation; a mere flesh wound.
It looks like a LMP car from a parallel universe. Neat.
I was expecting a car made from bits of Williams and Caterham from the Australian GP first corner crash.
I'm sorry, that should be #omgalmostdiedtodaylol
A moonroof?

Maybe AMG can build a few extra V12s that would normally go into a Zonda...
