Looking good rita. Thanks for the tip. I'm 6'1 but very slim, so it's always a struggle to get a shirt thats long enough and also not to baggy. Hoping this EU large fits the bill.

I assume new tyres were not part of the changes?

That had to be some scary ****. Front or rear?

Front left. These are brand new tires, only a week old. No puncture, rip, tear, hole, gash, nada. Just let go. Pulled hard left and damn near hit the guardrail but I managed to save it. He of course didn't have a jack or tools in the car and the spare wouldn't fit over the ITR brakes either. 3.5 hour wait and $75 later a tow truck driver swapped tires around and sent me on my way.

McLaren forced to down-tune Alonso's engine

No reason given as to why. I will see if I can dig one up.

I've never been a fan of the narrow high wings of the current generation F1 cars. always liked the 06/07/08 style rear wings. front wing design seem to change every couple of years so hopefully some good looking ones come out and stay.

Yes. In his defense he knew exactly what he was doing and is quite familiar with cotton mouths, copperheads, and pygmy rattlers we have around here. He knew that the snake was in the shade, it was still morning so it hadn't warmed up yet and wasn't going to be able to come after him. He said it did strike at the stick but it was a feeble attempt.

-Oh and the stick never actually made contact with the snake.

The black McHonda shirt is a tight stretchy material. I'm normally XL and the XL hugged me tight and I'm not one to show off my third trimester body. I'm afraid the 2XL might be too short and have sleeves that are too loose.

I wonder who maintains the engine in that FW18 and if it's a legit race spec Renault RS8.

Here?s Why You Should Never Buy A Ferrari F355

What’s that? You heard “routine engine-out service”? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that’s right: the F355 requires a complete engine-out service every three to five years in order to change the timing belts. This is another six to eight grand – remember, every three to five years – depending on where you do it. Some Ferrari dealers charge as much as $10,000. Although Ferrari is famous for these engine-out services, the 355 is the last modern model to require it. My 360 had a far cheaper engine-in belt service every three to five years, while the 430 requires no such service, as its engine is chain driven.

Ross Brawn says he has not accepted any position running Formula 1 under the sport's new owners.

"Liberty have not got far enough down the road to make any commitments yet," said the Englishman.

"I'm doing a little consulting to help them better understand F1 but that's all."
