Genius. Given that I bought a copy of “11" this is my kind of thing. For reference..

I quite like this one... I even use it as a desktop background. (Some people have thought it’s me driving - ho ho ho)

Well, their Karelian one has been going since 1932

I know we can compare lap times, I mean a TV piece - there’s always something wrong. It’s either a Superbike or a Touring Car, or one of the riders/drivers isn’t from the F1/MotoGP etc. There is one, I think, that's got Pedrosa and someone from Red Bull (vague recollection) but they don't really go for it.

Who are these people? They were on a TV programme? Really?

This was fun but it would be nice, just once, for someone to do a proper MotoGP/F1 comparison. Not Superbike. No showboating or staged bits.

Ah, lovely winter friendly magnesium.

Ugly wheels. Yes, they’re “original” but they look like something off of a 60s van. Pictured elsewhere, those chrome ones Steve McQueen had, or the wired set from the Aston - that would look much better.

Here’s your average Surrey backroad (not my video, yes it’s on a bike and facing the wrong way, but it gives you an idea of the twisty, crappy, wet surface.).

The kinds of roads you're thinking about are not like ours. UK twisty roads are a lot narrower. 15 corners? That wouldn't even get me a third of the way to work.

Very no.

Don’t forget the olive tree Xylella fastidious infection that’s spreading up through Italy. As usual, someone’s prosecuting the scientists http://www.nature.com/news/italian-s…

It took me so long to finish the first one that Netflix UK’s license for the second (Detergent?) expired.

No-one should forget Wayne “Buck” Shelford.

Oh.

I’m waiting for the grumpy “ZZ Top were great before they sold out and released Eliminator” comments.

It was either this or “He’s going into overdrift!”

I swear I saw this on the A24 just yesterday.
