It isn't often there's much cause to praise any of the daily rags for any reason but has anyone else been reading the 50 Stunning Olympic moments series on the Guardian's website (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/series/50-stunning-olympic-moments)? Some really superb and well told stories in...

I know the UK press have long since ceased bothering with anything so tedious as checking facts but even so the Telegraph have surpassed themselves with this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/transport/9258762/Worlds-most-expensive-Ferraris-in-pictures.html See how many mistakes...

A few pics from Wilton House and Gurston Down last Sunday. By way of a change all non-Ferrari pictures. Jonathan

So there seem to be dozens of threads about DDO this Saturday but I haven't seen one about the most important subject: Breakfast meet beforehand. Is there one? If so, where (apart from Clackett Lane which is in the opposite direction for many)? Can't remember the name of the place by the...

A busy car weekend what with Brooklands Auto Italia and Goodwood Supercar Breakfast Club on consecutive days. Plenty went to both. Here are a few pictures. Jonathan Damien and Rachel were early arrivals at the Cobham Hilton

Yesterday I went to the practice/qualifying day for the British GTs at Oulton Park. There were two 458 GT3s present, both only very recently delivered. They looked great. One had an electrical problem and didn't get out in practice at all although managed to qualify 5th for race two. The...

This is a bit of long shot (to say the least!) given the normal level of discussion on here, but can anyone help with a trigonometrical question? If I want to calculate the geographical mid point of a set of places how do I do it? I can write a program, of course, but I don't know what the...

Brooklands Auto Italia meeting is on Saturday 30 April this year and this is the 25th year of the event. As previously I have arranged with the Cobham Hilton for us to meet there beforehand and travel in together. Brooklands will once again let us in the back way to avoid the queues at the...

...in the snow. No trouble at all manoeuvring the 348 but the 550 kept getting stuck:cry3: Jonathan

My knowledge of (and interest in) plant life is miniscule. Having a couple of days off at the moment (hurrah!) and blundering around the garden trying to photograph a red squirrel this afternoon (without success as he kept spotting me coming and nipping off) and spotted this socking great...
