That's crazy!
My 2016 non-electric petrol car had a weird fault. The moment I put the key in the ignition the CD player start playing at ¾ full volume and none of the media buttons or dials would respond. Could not turn it off.

I wouldn't say 'never' went on to win. Mansell ('86) eventually won it in '92.
Great stat though. I'm expecting Max to take this one.

"He was already rocketing into the sky on a pair of rapidly melting Icarus wings" - what a line!
Evel Knievel became a big star here in the UK when he came over to Wembley stadium and jumped London busses.

A top single from an awesome LP.
The whole "De La Soul is Dead" album is excellent. It was slept on it back in the day in much the same way Paul's Boutique was - people were expecting the same as 3 Ft High / Licensed to Ill but got something different.
One of my top Hip-Hop albums of all time.
