Corrected!
Oh, thanks. I fixed it.
Speaking of seagulls, it’s not like Honda (and McLaren) didn’t use this idea for their 2008 F1 cars.
I have to admit I do keep a dead Old World Swallowtail in a box. I found it on a sidewalk in Bethesda, MD, when I was interning for the NIH a long, long time ago.
There has been talk of the BBC offering its programming outside the UK for a fee, but the BBC being its glacial, bureaucratic self, this will obviously not happen before Sky takes over for next year’s F1 broadcasts. Sure, the BBC will get half the races, but that’s no way to watch an F1 season. It’s incredibly sad: the BBC’s coverage is fabulous, like a live version of Top Gear.
This car is a bit of a legend in Hungary’s mad automotive underworld. It’s called The Nose, it was build of half a Trabant and half a shopping cart, and this other video shows what it does to its occupants:

Transversely mounted V16!
Transversely mounted V12!
Oh dear, Porsche has put magic mushrooms in its press champagne! It’s actually a V12.
It was fantastic indeed! Everyone, watch it.
No! Watch it! It’s great! And it will be partly off the BBC next year, so grab your chance.
Well—the DRS zone was up there and people were passing each other all the time, but none of those passes mattered ultimately, and there was plenty of real passing in other parts of the circuit. So I took it as more of a TV-happy sideshow. It certainly didn’t bother me to the extent that DRS bothered me in the Malaysia, China and Turkey races.
I was thinking the same thing! And it was so great to watch Button doing the same thing 20-some seconds ahead.
Yeah, all of our galleries default to 16:9. Expanding them will reveal all if they’re of a different aspect ratio. I usually crop images to be 16:9 but some of these couldn’t be helped.
Oh, Bumblebee. Her real name was Phyllis. Here she is parked outside a Starbucks on Woodward, while Mr. Wert, Mr. Krewson and I were inside, thinking about the world’s largest cupcake. If I remember correctly.
Not this book, no. I’m about to read the book that describes the previous leg of their trip, a big loop from Buenos Aires to Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Maybe they have some details there.
They do describe their efforts in Přes Kordillery to keep the suspension intact, using the only slightly broken pieces to replace the very broken ones. At the point they do their final major repair, pictured in the post, the front suspension is a mess of broken spring. They had new ones shipped to Lima.

They’re all on my Dad’s shelf. Hi, Dad! I’ll have to find a way to process his mountaineering books into Jalopnik posts.
Corrected, if a bit late.
Whoa! Don’t worry though, Hungary is just like Italy when it comes to internal politics, especially these days. All we lack is the, well, the clothes, the great food, and the Formula One team.
