I'd kind of like to know how she does in races on tracks other than the Nurburgring. She's patently a more than competent driver but it's surely true that her extensive experience with that course gives her an advantage.

Yes, it would be interesting. Driving the circuit at high speed in all weather, several times a week, if not daily, you get to know it like the back of your hand. That doesn't however bring you anything, if you can't drive in the first place.

She did the German version of Top Gear, but I don't think it lasted a season...

History Buffs, a great channel. Extra long video (52 minutes) for the 100th video, covering Apollo 13.

Nick goes through the history surrounding famous films, then pulls them apart, saying what is good and bad, what is accurate and where they have ruined it. Not surprisingly Mel Gibson films get relatively short shrift.

She was the female world champion racing driver and has (I believe) done quite well in several rallys.

Mr Evans had to get out of the car and puke when she drove him round the top gear track I think it was.

I was just watching a Daily Show episode on YT - it became immediately obvious that the West was post-satire when fake news was getting more traction than Brexit or Trump.

Interesting find. If you took any high resolution photos of the weathered bits of metal I'd be interested in seeing them. For example at 0:32 and 1:01.

Thanks for the link. Really like the colours and textures of the weatherbeaten metal.
