I've spent my life racing these little cars. Have one in the workshop now undergoing rebuild - you'll find little with a tax disc closer to my day job (karting).
The MG Midget was at the peak of its pre-Federal bumper desirability at the time of this early-'70s British brochure. The 1275cc roadster appeared on the cover at a pleasing trackside setting, with an eclectic selection of racing vehicles of the era. #weirdcarbs

The very first BMW M car ever built is officially for sale - and this might be the most important piece of BMW Motorsport history to hit the market in decades.
Price? Upon application. Of course.

So proud of Mrs MaxAttaq - aka Sarah!
What a wonderful afternoon! It was a complete joy from start to finish and I am so grateful for all the support from those who offered to help, who made the event what it was.
Thank you to everyone who came, it makes all the work in planning the concert so worthwhile. 🥰

This. As an average home/small business user I genuinely use very little of the "advanced" features. In fact, I run my business from my phone including the use of MS apps like Word. The age of instant obsolescence has gone.

Yes it's an MG Midget! Trying to repair the race car that MiniMaxAttaq crashed 3 years ago. He's built a really nice replacement, I'm trying to rescue the old car. Cutting the rear off for a clam, pushing the spring mount back into place with some success 😃

Utter bollocks. It's the same through the whole of motor racing. You comply or you're out. It hurts. We've been DSQ for tiny weight indiscretions, but that's the rules. If you can't take them, don't go racing.

It's the Christmas Lantern Parade and Lights Switch On in Devizes tonight! Both Mrs MaxAttaq ( @sarah-in-wiltshire.bsky.social to you) and I are in town enjoying our hobbies. Guess which is which? (As a clue, I don't have a musical bone on my body....)

Just back from a couple of days exhibiting at Kartmania, the UK kart show. Best part about it? Putting on my work uniform and it didn't stink of 2-stroke oil! Love working indoors.

When I was a kid, the MG Car Club used to hold its annual premier Autotest just here. I learned to drive outside where I'm stood now. Club Corner has changed a bit since then!

I'm not on track today (thankfully given the weather) but still at a track as I'm exhibiting at the kart show at Silverstone Circuit. It's lashing down outside, I'm feeling kinda smug I'm dry and warm.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.
