It wasn’t just the engine. They didn’t know how hopeless the car was before running in quali, and needed to break parc ferme to change the cars setup, which would have been a pitlane start regardless of engine change. The engine was more an added bonus.

I would love to replace work van with an electric one, but so far it’s not possible for one main reason (other than cost)…I often tow quite heavy trailers and my diesel can tow 2500kg, but every electric van I’ve looked at can only tow 750kg. Maybe it’s something to do with that?

It could be argued that anyone who was not in a horrific air crash is luckier.

Why are Nobel prizes so highly revered when they originate from an explosives manufacturer?

“Chav” doesn’t mean working class though. It’s a type of working class person, sure, but not all working class people by any stretch.

Edit. In fact I’m sure it could be applied to middle and upper class (particularly new money) people too. ie driving a white range rover in ones designer tracksuit is pretty chavvy.

“Monster Mash”

I was working in the lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For my monster from his slab, began to rise And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash, he did the monster mash The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash He did the mash, it caught on in a flash He did the mash, he did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east To the master bedroom where the vampires feast The ghouls all came from their humble abodes To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash, they did the monster mash The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash They did the mash, it caught on in a flash They did the mash, they did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun The party had just begun The guests included Wolfman Dracula, and his son

The scene was rockin’, all were digging the sounds Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds The coffin-bangers were about to arrive With their vocal group, ‘The Crypt-Kicker Five’

They played the mash, they played the monster mash The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash They played the mash, it caught on in a flash They played the mash, they played the monster mash

Out from his coffin, Drac’s voice did ring Seems he was troubled by just one thing Opened the lid and shook his fist and said “Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?”

It’s now the mash, it’s now the monster mash The monster mash, and it’s a graveyard smash It’s now the mash, it caught on in a flash It’s now the mash, it’s now the monster mash

Now everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land For you, the living, this mash was meant too When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash The monster mash, and do my graveyard smash Then you can mash, you will catch on in a flash Then you can mash, then you can monster mash

Wah-ooh, argh, monster mash, wah-ooh Easy, Igor, you impetuous young boy Argh, mash good, mm, argh Monster mash, wah-ooh, monster mash, wah-ooh

Around 2.7 kilometres.

*Order of magnitude out.

Wasn’t Jander the hobot?

This wasn’t police, it was council enforcement officers. People too stupid to get into the police.

Those of us behind Hadrian’s Firewall thank you.

ICE as in Internal Combustion Engine, or as in the US neo-brownshirts?

My guess is that he fumbled saying “you’re the best thing since sliced bread”. He’s probably now cringing and mentally kicking himself for it.

What is surprising is that that equals only 0.5kg. Must be a small reservoir.

Variants of this [Cooling vest] technology have been used in sportscar racing for many years but drivers are still wary of the weight and comfort penalty – or put off by stories of heat exchangers failing, resulting in the hapless pilots essentially cooking sous vide.

Lol. Mandatory cooling tech par boils driver.

Was fucking kids part of his cover too?

OK, Donald J. Trump. He was a democrat at the height of his Kiddy-Diddling-with-Jeff phase.

To be fair, he’s done a lot for the UK’s republican movement.

It’s not called the “middle of the earth” sea for nothing.
