I just hope he can enjoy it and smile - one of the nicest things about seeing him rallying was how often he had a grin on his face.

Equally impressive is Vettel himself - whilst nursing the car home in this condition (including falling off the track once), he had time to think...

Ummm, read on. Last night in UK, the BBC broadcast a documentary on the production of McLaren's new MP4/12C supercar - I presume that this BBC...

And she is definitely screaming "Brake" at one point. I think it is at 3:30 that she realises that the thing in the windscreen is a video camera...

Full marks for a really fast hood drop at 1:02 while moving - though the windows were already down. I wonder if there is anything to stop one...

I don't think you'll find any national/international rallies like that any longer - here is the official overall map (PDF) - nowadays virtually...

That'll teach him to pay that parking ticket.....

Whaddya mean? That looks nearly bone dry - none of that counts as mud. We are actually having a late autumn/fall heatwave in the British Isles...

I think the WRC car can be considered as 'mostly' Mini, but the rules are rather flexible - which is how come its competitors, the Ford Fiesta and...

I would like to try the Hartley V8 in a Mini - this is two Suzuki Hayabusa engines made into a V8. Sure it has 'only' 200-250 ft.lb but it has...

I feel I'm entitled to the 'nerd of the week' award - I've noticed that the Roadster (and presumably the Coupé) have flat-blade wipers....

It looks like we're going to have to remove the (optional) 'wind protection insert' from between the rollbars before the hood can be pushed down...

And, as the conspiracy guys usually reckon Ferrari gets an advantage, how about the reverse - the former F1 driver included in the race stewards...

And the original/classic Mini was designed quite intentionally to be 'un-styled' - Issigonis decided that he had overdone the...

We Brits are spoiled with BBC F1 coverage, having F1 ex-drivers Brundle and Coulthard as commentators, aren't we? To start with, they hummed and...

Don't get too excited - those mpg figures are using British gallons (or 'Imperial' gallons as we imperialists call them) which are 20% bigger than...

Fascinating F1 paddock gossip: Ferrari has had problems with its new front wing 'fluttering'. They seem to be learning how to make the wing pass...

The nicest shot from the BBC coverage of the first free practice (sorry, it says it's only available within the UK), apart from the dog, was...

Yep, Indian driving is quite different from elsewhere and it's one of the few places I've worked where I didn't want to drive myself. I don't...
