Do we have any X Japan fans here? They're holding their concerts this December in Japan.

Could you save that Esprit to let us do a back to back comparison drive on a rented track?

I prefer a McLaren over a Ferrari.

No one has compared the R8 with the McLaren MP12-4 yet. I own neither. So I won't comment.

The Honda J series engine in the TL* bloodline is very reliable. My 06 RL still runs strong and smooth coming up to 200000 miles.

The Bridgestone tire representative at previous years' races said that Alonso's tire wear was the least, and he was impressed. But then that depends a lot on the car, and what the driver was asking the car to do.

But Alonso may not play well with the Asian audience.

Photos from today's Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, CA (click on each image to get the full res version from photobucket) My favorite Datsun body from my childhood days swapped with my favorite production Honda motor of all time. Tastefully done too, complete with the Air Conditioning...

Getting back on topic ... what do you guys want to see at this Japanese Classic Car Show tomorrow? I'll bring my Fujifilm X-T1 camera with the stock zoom lens to take some pictures. I only bought the camera less than two weeks ago, and I have hardly used it that much.

An excellent lens for mirrorless cameras. HandeVision IBELUX 40 mm / 0.85

Photokina 2014: Canon interview - Mirrorless 'in the very near future'

Well, there are gobs of Formula One moving car shots with blurred backgrounds too.

I left the Canon camp a week ago when I bought the X-T1. I was a 25 year Canonite. The last hold out on their FD lenses. But after their weak effort at mirrorless DSLR, I had to leave. Fujifilm has their L equivalent portrait lens out now. You can imagine all the pro photogs rushing to see the...

Fujifilm X-T1

I'm shocked at how quickly Red Bull has caught up. Maybe they found another creative interpretation of the rules.

Where is the BBQ?

I once read somewhere that the O2 sensor placed too close to the end of the exhaust pipe will read lean all the time due to the exhaust gas mixing with atmospheric gas, thus diluting the exhaust mixture. Hence sensor position is important.

Remember that quote from a biographer writing about Ronald Reagan, about how he never dwells on the fact that he came from the wrong side of the tracks, but just keeps his head pointed in the right direction and try to head up and up going through life. That's similar to Button's attitude.

Go back to that outburst from Hamilton about him coming from less wealthy circumstances than his teammate Rosberg: Button came from even less wealthy circumstances than Hamilton. Button's dad rebuilt their cart engines, while Hamilton's dad bought their engines from Button's dad. Button has...

There is no way to prevent this from happening again. Lewis can be in front, on a flying lap, and the car behind him can crash, and will that bring out yellow flags for the entire course? If not, then the trick is to get out there early.

Honda must be deeply worried now.

Or maybe the P car squad instead, since he's more attractive to German teams.

Brawn made it big with the sale of the team to Mercedes. He doesn't need to or care to come back to F1. Look at Eddie Irvine. He's doing just fine, thank you very much, without F1.

Or ... do a J swap, followed by conversion to electric drive, then go back to original engine. Time frame: 2015, 2020, 2025. Both Autowave and SOS have worked on this car. I don't ever want to take this car back to either of those shops. Now, having said that, all sorts of alliances will start...
