If trousers are proving dangerous then it must be time to start wearing dresses Rich

With only 76k miles in 31 years, it’s been very idle

You can get a full-week Monday-Sunday ticket, camping pitch, and train travel to and from London for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for less than the price of a parking permit at the British Grand Prix

Silverstone, I love you. But I cannot justify paying £420 for car parking for the F1 next year across the weekend.

This year, car parking for the 4 days was £170, so a 147% increase year-on-year.

It's extortionate, and it's the first time I've really felt that.

What a shame!

A fine aspiration

Andrew Barrett @andrewelan.bsky.social · Sep 19

Absolutely not Dave. The Beetle would be a fine addition to the ensemble. It’s not a race/rally and the timings allow for an average of just 20mph. There’s a Morris Mimor
1000 taking part too!
We’d love to have you along if you can make it

Splendid! Only comment would be to reverse the alignment of hot vs cold temp. Reasoning is heat rises whereas cold sits low therefore the vertical images convey rising heat and horizontal conveys flat/low/cold. Just my 2p worth
