At least until one realizes that there haven't really been that many F1 drivers in the 62-year history of the sport.

We've spent some time watching the footage, and we think it's awesome. Focusing in on Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Ducati, MV Agusta and Bimota, the crew took plenty of footage home with them and managed to ride some of the greatest modern sportbikes ever created along the way. Best of all, over four hours of video is available... Full article...

Being a little vehicle it has 218 horsepower which is unbelievable for a tiny one like this. The 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine is turbocharged. Being designed as a racing car from the beginning Mini Cooper still has fog lights, but its bumper was remodeled and got deeper providing more aerodynamics to the car. The wheels got some tuning. You can see low-profile run flat tires on 17-inch wheels. These super light weight wheels were... Full article...

You may not be sympathetic to his predicament. But the guy tells a story that's worth hearing because of what it says about Detroit's reckoning. And an era's final gasps. He's 36. He's a husband, the father of an 8-year-old and a Southfield homeowner.

The engine is so quiet that I didn't know it was running when I first got behind the wheel. The 2008 model has one of those electronic keys that you don't have to insert in the ignition.
