My sister in law owns an old Jeep. I am going to teach my son how to drive on that. He’s 13 now so I’ll probably take him out pretty soon.

Didn't you have an old 911?

[FaultyMario]

The last F1 car with three pedals was probably the one McLaren ran in 98, and two of those pedals were for braking.

[JoeW]

Yeah I sold the 911 when the wife got pregnant.

Two kids now...2002 Expedition and 2011 4Runner in the driveway.

Miss the 911 dearly. 2100lbs, 210hp at the wheels, no ABS and no PS.

F1 cars still have clutches, just sayin’

The way they’re operated is bonkers and awesome as well. Two clutch levers, one on each side of the steering wheel.

Edit: here’s a good rundown on these clutches. It’s for sim racing but it gives you a good idea of the concept.

Yeah but they are just for starting.

Williams wants Ocon but has no money to pay him (his fee is rumoured to be around 4 millions of euro per season), so it is still toying with either Sirotkin or Kubica (he got some sponsors) alongside Russell.
Toro Rosso is going to take Albon... rumours say he will have to perform in the first six races of 2019 to be sure to race the rest of the season.
If he will underperform Werhlein is going to be on Helmut Marko's phone right away. Or so the gossip says.

Meanwhile Mclaren got a surprising Coca Cola sponsorship till the end of the season. It may continue in next season.
And Williams is losing Martini sponsorship by the end of the season.

[JoeW]

Wowzers.

[Crazed_Insanity]

I don't understand what Coca-cola is thinking. Why would they choose to be black with their logo and on a car that runs near the back!

Ferrari is the obvious choice. Haas is the next obvious choice.

Maybe they're just being cheap... testing F1 waters for now...

Seeing KFC on TR is kinda funny.
