I know I’ve seen those at the bougie supermarket here (they are eye-poppingly expensive here but idk what they cost in the US or Europe). Also, I thought the Swiss called it an Erdapfel or is that too rustic even for them?

It just says potato in German, French and English. Not sure how rustic that is.

I know, just thought there was a different word in Swiss German. Maybe that’s a Romansch thing and I’m remembering wrong.

Google says that thing is from 1995? But the engine looks like a nearly part for part copy of a 1950s/60s Gilera or MV. Air cooled, ridiculously wide valve angle, ancient technology. Man, Ferrari are bad.

I will admit, the lack of a Mansell moustache is hurting Lewis slightly. While I'm not against a full ban, they'd have to ban everyone else who isn't Nigel Mansell first and I think it's important to the sport that there is at least the illusion of competition for Lewis this season.

I was with you with Mansell, but you lost me with Hamilton.

Update on my kid’s F1 dreams. We got to the final interview/culling the not absolutely deathly serious applicants stage, and betwixt me posting about it and now the place also became a partner with McLaren. They said they have no problem with entering her in the lottery for engineering and are also entering her in the lottery for the computer based course. Find out end of March. Still 1 in about 1000 chance but 1 chance is better than no chance.

Alternatively: if you design the livery with a halo in mind it doesn't stand out as much as a prototype being bolted on

It just looks like the same bad chassis they've been using for ages but they asked the designer to 'blade runner' it up

Looks like they realised that a rear wing is pretty much pointless at the speeds they go in formula e and just causes yellow flags when the bad drivers rear end each other

It’s McLaren’s new road car base, and they are chumming up with Sheffield Uni and Sheffield Hallam Uni in an attempt to bagsie the best students before they immediately (and understandably) gently caress off to the German auto industry the moment they graduate.
