They have at least 15 rabbits. Dealing with that many hutches in this heat doesn't work. So they are making Bunningham Palace by extending his sheds. He's the handy one, I just provide grunt 😀

New roof timbers and frames covering the patio. There is a ladder up to the level above. And a lot of wood, various tools, and other clutter.

A nice tidy patio that is partly covered by the new timber roof, against his old shed, itself made of bits including spare upvc doors. We will finish it next week.

TK Maxx has McLaren, Red Bull and a little bit of Alpine t-shirts and jackets on sale. I picked up McLaren tees for £20 & £25 and they look new. Red Bull has Ford logos and the tee has Hadjar's name, so must be current!

Red Bull Ford jacket and price ticket of £49.99. These are usually at least double.

Some mad race you might throw together on Assetto Corsa. Chuck a couple of trucks in there why not.

Go to Austria. Qualifying 2016 from turn 4.

View from the turn 4 grandstand. 2016 Austrian Grand Prix qualifying, Red Bull Ring. Forest in the background. TV helicopter above. To the right is the track approaching from turn 4. In the middle a yellow Renault F1 car takes the turn. On the left the track disappears to T6.

View from the Turn 4 grandstand of the Red Bull Ring, 2016 Austrian GP qualifying. Lots of greenery and elevation in the background. The downhill into turn 4 looks almost sedate in comparison.

In 2016 we watched FP3 from the last corner. It was quick and those rumble strips are LOUD.

Marcus Ericsson's Sauber-Ferrari C35 on the rumble strip between turns 9 and 10 at the Red Bull Ring in 2016 Austrian GP FP3. Remember when Sauber were blue and yellow? My photo.

BrAnDs HaTcH iS nOt NeAr LoNdOn FFS you can literally SEE London FROM THE CAR PARK. Some of you really need to travel.

A map of Brands Hatch in relation to London right next to it

A photo I took from the car park of Brands Hatch when I was leaving BTCC in 2015. It's dusk. In the gloaming you can see the city lights of Canary Wharf and the Shard in the distance. Power cables in the foreground. OK yes I zoomed in, and the car park is on top of a hill, but you can see London with your eyes, it counts!

ITV are winning at the backdrop. Look at that. Even though they aren't near a game, it still adds to it to be there? I heard the BBC are doing the whole thing from Salford??

Yesterday I walked through some woods in Devon and the map reminded me of Spa

I am away this weekend so haven't seen anything of Monaco. But I can recommend Cafe Punjab in Bognor Regis. Tandoori sea bream is excellent.

The only time I saw him in person was at 2011 FoS. Stunning. The sheer amount of charisma in the air. Never known anything like it. Almost enough to turn a man. #gayforDario?

Dario Franchitti in an open-face helmet and white 1960s overalls, getting out of Jim Clark's Lotus 38 Indy 500 winning car, at Goodwood 2011. The Lotus is in green with yellow trim and huge yellow exhaust pipes. The number 83 is set against a white circle. If it wasn't for the two fans, photographer, and guy in hi viz, it could be 1965. He captured it without trying.

Dario Franchitti effortlessly handsome as he signs an autograph, in dark sunglasses, slick back hair and 1960s white overalls with Lotus, Firestone and Enco logos. He'd been asked for an autograph, had to go so dashed off, then remembered and came back!

Rest in Peace, Alex Zanardi. Legend. It was the privilege of a lifetime to see him take gold at the Paralympics.

Fun things on Instagram.

The caption says "plus i need people to stop talking about the ferrucci files", while the narrator said "plus i need people to stop talking about the epstein files". The text is over a picture of Donald Trump and the world.
It's a screenshot of an instagram post by averagef1consumer. The caption underneath says: "when I'm in a bootlicking contest and my opponent is indycar". The link to the post is in the reply below.

NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series I shortened it. NASCAR O'Reilly sounds like a bad cover of The Who.

The best thing about Go Bowling At The Glen is when Google automatically adds a graphic of bowling to the race date.

Screenshot of my Google Calendar entry for the NASCAR Cup race at Watkins Glen entitled Go Bowling At The Glen. The top of the calendar entry includes a cartoon picture of a man in the background who has just bowled a strike, the ball and pins flying everywhere are in the foreground.
