We are up to page 38 for the 2024 season, I think each year should start fresh with a new thread. Keeps it tidy.

I definitely don't disagree with this.
Every time I upgrade my phone I start totally fresh in terms off apps and such lol.

What? you're not still using one of those bloody great wooden boxes bolted to the wall with the crank handle on the side, the brass mouth piece stuck on the font and the ear piece connected by a cord, hanging from a hook?

Spoiler alert: I was born in 1988. I hardly remember phones with cords lol.
And fun fact - in my adult life, I have never had a landline.

But dang, coming back to edit this because I typed out "1988" implying that it was not THAT long ago.
But I'm realizing now...yes, yest it was. Damn near 40 years ago.
I'm finally growing into the "old soul" I've always had hah.
So what should my mid-life crisis be? A fancy watch? Car? Trip?

It has to be a sports car and it has to be a Porsche. Any 911 variant or 718 Cayman/Boxster with the 4.0 NA engine.

The 3.8 ain’t bad either, 430hp, better oiling system and far better sound than the 4.0

That’s one way to look at it. Another is that I didn’t bother waiting for a crisis to enjoy life more…

Your car history is pretty sweet over a very long time period, that’s definitely not a bad way to do it, right from the 325ix E30

Apparently McLaren invited YouTuber, crypto scammer, and other bad stuff allegedly, Mr. Beast as a guest in their garage for the LV Grand Prix. Lets just say the comments were not kind to McLaren.

Tried to start liking McLaren because of Oscar, and then they had to go and allow Djokovic into their garage 😡.

Zak is waiting for Diddy to be free so he can invite him to the McLaren garage.

Is the visit to the McLaren garage offered as a prize to the winners of "The Arsehole of the Month" Competition?

If anything it’s probably gotten better when you consider the McLaren operation from Dennis onwards was not just funded by Marlboro but by Mansour Ojjeh’s funds earned by arming a huge chunk of the Middle East. He spent a fortune and most of his life trying to separate himself from his money’s origins but the reality is Marlboro / Phillip Morris were actually the good guys in that partnership.
