1. Considering they are supposed to be the best drivers in the world, why do they have so mant accidents? In 47 years if driving I've only had one. Believe me, I was pushing my old man's Oxford Cambridge estate to the limits as well. It took some doing to roll that heavy beast!
2. And if they are that good why do they need so many practise sessions?
When I go to work I know my job and don't expect the boss to give me a couple of hour's practise every time.
3. They set a bad example - don't use indicators when overtaking.
4. Kerbs mark track limits - have they ever driven on a road?
5. Make them pay for their own car insurance so they can learn the meaning of a No-Claims Bonus.
6. It only took ten minutes for the track crew to sort out that drain cover. Here in Banbury it takes the local council at least 10 weeks.
A few questions and observations.

What's the point in having a car that can't carry even a single passenger?

How far down the road (bad pun intended) do you think it is that we get motor racing with driverless cars. The way motoring technology is developing it could be a thing of the future? It has long been possible to do it in computer games. Some top drivers are game-addicts already. It would save the teams millions in wages and an 11-year-old from anywhere could become world champion.

What colour was the Austin Cambridge? A lot were pale blue but I'm betting on green with a white roof. Unless it was grey of course, stunningly beautiful in grey, an Austin Cambridge. Stylish, elegant, purposeful, presence, character, oh... wait. Am I confusing it with the Aston Martin DB5?
And they blame "Red Robbo" for the loss of BMC?
As I always say, it wasn't "Red Robbo" who designed, and built the Austin Allegro and then painted it beige...
Served Thatchers agenda of closing all male dominated industries and putting men on the streets.
Proper investment and appointing managers to run the place, not close it down, could have easily saved BL.
"sir" Michael Edwards.... Pah! Talentless Lackey!!
Why do Alfa Romeo, Renault, BMW, SEAT, FIAT all still exist? A government who did the job they were elected to do, that's why.
Yes, I now think that Austin Cambridge probably was grey.

It looked greyish but the official name of the colour was rose taupe.
