Strangely impressive, someone with money to burn put a 2CV body on a Ferrari chassis… seems to burn more petrol now http://sn.im/rk4rpMobile post sent by gtveloce using Utterli.  Replies.
If you really must burn petrol, use an efficient engine. Alfa’s new 1750cc motor gives up 200BHP using a turbo, carefully and cunningly timed direct injection, unusually massive valve overlap (for a road car) and creative cam timing. That means a small 4 cylinder does the work of a V6 without turbo lag and less fuel burned… http://sn.im/rk4lsMobile post sent by gtveloce using Utterli.  Replies.

"Losing" my 1TB drive has dropped my available home storage by 30%… and made me re-think my backup strategy. Just 10 years or so ago my total home storage was around 1GB, perhaps a tad more… and far more manageable. I can’t imagine what it will be in another ten years time – but I’ll take a stab at 1PB. Sounds unsustainably big and – as someone who stores large numbers of high-definition photographs and videos – leaves me wondering about alternatives. Quantum-scale drives and Cloud storage anyone?

After loading lots of digital audio software to try out I lost the Seagate 1TB drive in the main PC last night – it just vanished, undetectable at bootup. Oh well, more fun and games for me. Yes, it was backed up (mostly, but not this week). It’s still hard work re-imaging, configuring and getting it back to square 1, as in a couple of part-time days and nights. I’m running some backups now on the other machines, just in case…

I’d like to think that Evans is saving himself for the ITT but he may have overdone it a tad. At least he finished with arguably the best climber of the day, Thor Hushovd.

OK, Contador can’t drop the Schlecks but can drop his own team. And he can do a deal for who wins. But what was with Frank and Lance chatting before simultaneously attacking Wiggins? Do they fear his TT ability that much? And why didn’t Wiggo see Lance’s track tactics coming? Bizarre.
