      He doesn’t actually - with all due respect for the institution that is Mr. May -. The Nurburgring (Nordschleife) requires suspension travel and well tuned dampers more than any other track because of elevation changes, rough surface patches at places like the Karussell and changing surface conditions (shadowy parts, weather).
      More than any other track, the Nordschleife ist about compromises between compliance and immediacy, low and fast speeds, tun in and road holding, compression and depression. Balance is therefore key.
      You should visit it, it’s like driving on a country road in many ways. And very scary if you push. (not talking about the GP course).

Consider what you consume and put into your body on a regular basis: do you think that you treat your body as a temple of the Holy Ghost? I know that I have been guilty of gluttony and have had issues with alcohol that I am not proud of. This life is a gift and we only have one shot. What a shame it is to waste our time and health on weaknesses of the flesh. Sadly, in these modern times, gluttony is literally a deadly sin./Prayer+My body is a temple of the Holy Ghost. Give me this day my daily bread, and the strength and wisdom to accept only my daily amount. Lord, I pray that You help me to approach all things with moderation, but know that I am a sinner. I want what I cannot have, and that which I do have, I want more of. Hold my hand, loving God, and show me the path towards a healthy and loving relationship with You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

    James, you're the best. Their slow mind can't reach you. They should be called Captain Slow and Amiral Dumb ;)
    Happy birthday.

    James May should be the CEO of Amazon. This video is clearly sarcastic, and a defamation of character. I simply can not stand for it. I learned at least three new things whilst watching this video. All hail The Assembler!
