On a totally separate rant, Metro needs to explain to its F1 correspondent that "broke" is the past tense of break (as in breaking an object) and "braked" is the past tense of brake (the action of slowing a car by using the breaks). It's depressing that journalists, who earn their living from words, can't get it right.
Petard, boom!
One of the best yet !

Out for a bike ride, I stopped at a local shop to top up my bottle...



...now, not being funny, but surely, if you stock these products, then checking the spelling isn't difficult?

That first link, cheeky buggers. They imply you get your mitts on a Maclaren V8 but the asterix notes your get to drive something else on the day.

My finger of blame in cases like this points firmly with the cyclist for bein an idiot.

I think that's because £150m is the cap (EUR 185m IIRC). Any 'overs' spill down to the next level now for, I think, four draws, then it all goes down a tear.

Often on my way to work, between Tetbury and Cirencester (A433) I see new Jags, always on trade plates often before they are relased.

About 6 months ago I saw an F type coupe before they were released traveling rather quickly followed by an XFR-S.

Last week i saw a white F Type Convertible with the front end in black and white swirl camoflauge, and then about 5 minutes later saw 2 Land Rover Discovery Sports
