  1. Bond Bug will be great if I ever get around to my much dreamed about 1970s-set railway.
  2. According to the BBC website, the Red Bulls weren’t looking quickest on long run pace either during practice, with Alonso being the most impressive. It may all change by race day though.
  3. A man walked into a bar. He said “ow!” It was an iron bar.
  4. Depends which station you’re listening to.
  5. Thanks for posting that. I remember watching that season, and the Indy 500, back in the period when Eurosport showed every Indy race live. Great times, and such a dominant performance.
  6. I tend to agree. Also, if Oxford really want to do the hotted up Cortina, why can’t they make the spoiler etc as separate parts that they can add to the relevant release, then they can also sell the vanilla cars, probably in much greater numbers than the silly boy-racer version. Taking myself as a sample size of one, I would not buy a Cortina with the ridiculous add-on bits, but I would buy at least one of each colour of any standard-looking cars they chose to release.
  7. Well, qually was interesting. If the predicted rain arrives today, the race might be worth watching too.
  8. Thanks, useful info. I see the IMSA race is live on Viaplay Xtra channel; they’d been showing the season until recently, but the scheduled coverage disappeared without trace. The most recent couple of races weren’t shown at all, but now it’s back (subject to any last-minute changes of schedule).
  9. Oh to be so rich that you can afford to employ a man simply to baste turkeys.
  10. I suppose it’s the difference between what happened in Brazil (which was a fair fight) and what happened in Singapore (which was manipulated by what security agencies now refer to as a bad actor - and no, I’m not referring to Sylvester Stallone).
  11. It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.
  12. Well, ol’ Bernie Ecclescake is fast approaching his 93rd birthday...
  13. Shamelessly copied from Tim Brooke-Taylor, by way of Sandi Toksvig: I’ve got a frog in the throat. Well, it’s better than a toad in the hole.
  14. Did you hear about the frog who parked on double yellow lines? He got toad away.
  15. q. When is a train not a train? a. When it turns into a siding.
  16. Personally, I’m sick and tired of ‘sprint’ races. What a pointless exercise.
  17. What was it called? Ah, yes: Drivel.
  18. Well, if you include Albon (Anglo-Thai), that’s all four British drivers in the top eight. Great race, deserving winner, good racing throughout the field, but what the heck happened to the Ferraris?
  19. Well, that was an exciting qualifying session! Silverstone delivers once again.
  20. For those who have the channels, the Monza WEC race is live on Eurosport 2, and Viaplay Xtra are showing 3 hours live of the Mosport IMSA round, both on Sunday.
  21. My solution: don’t go back there. It’s a silly little track, full of vociferous orange people who have no interest in F1, only in one driver.
  22. Despite the changes (i.e. sprint qually & race now having no influence on grid for main race) I still find the sprint races a pointless waste of time.
  23. Some of us (and I include myself in this) are beginning to notice that we are ageing. I mean, I used to come here when it was all just jokes!
  24. There are two kinds of people in the world:- 1. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
