I know it’s not the done thing these days, but I thought it was worth a mention of a positive event last night....another successful SpaceX launch, the Crew 1 mission that has taken 4 astronauts into orbit to dock with the ISS. First time 4 crew have gone up in one craft since the Space Shuttle.

Enter contestant number 1. Been and collected this just, under the guize of let the lad learn to drive in it. So lucked out because it was paid for out of the joint account 😁 Roll on May £495

Yes it's the: Nissan Micra Nurburgring Challenge 2021 Have you always wanted to drive the Nurburgring, but have been too much of a mummys boy (or girl)?

Stand by for contestant number 2! Ive just had an offer accepted. Cant really use the Anna's first car because Ive already done that with the Mini when she was 14..... (she never had a go in it) then again she's 16 in January, so maybe if its good enough for Simon 😂 Sometimes you just have to give it a go, life's too short. Im running out of space now.

Watched it live. It was another brilliant performance from SpaceX. I never tire of seeing the SRB's landing on the drone ship, and the double landing from the Star Man launch in 2018 was an absolutely astonishing achievement. Skip to 3:10 for the good stuff...

True story. Bono once wrote to Captain Beefheart saying how much he loved his work and asking if he would like to collaborate on something. The Captain's reply? "Dear Bongo. No"

I take it you didn't watch the Turkish gp? The merc was nowhere. Bottas span 5 times and finished down the back. Yet Hamilton won. That race in those conditions highlighted which drivers had the skills. Showed that vettel hasn't lost it either was really good to see him up the front. His chat with Hamilton at the end congratulating him was classy too.

You wouldnt believe this i looked at the above car 30 seconds ago on ebay

Ah well if there’s a few from up here...

I had a group of friends that did a Nurburg500. Each spent up to £500 on a car and drove to the Nurburgring, managed a lap and drove back. It was an absolute hoot by all accounts so good look to all that take part and enjoy.

I think the new space suits are quite fashionable, those helmets are snazzy!

It’s more than 5 hrs TO Calais!

Drive the car...getting there is half the fun, especially with 54 raging horses.

Just asking for a friend Do you have to drive the car there and back or can you trailer it ?

Double post, I had this earlier in the thread.
