Car reviewer Doug DeMuro's latest video is about a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo SS Dale Earnhardt Edition which also comes with a few extra Dale Earnhardt goodies. With only 4,300 miles from new, it's currently for sale on his carsandbids.com site. Don't worry Garrett, a year later Chevy made a Jeff Gordon Edition. I found a load of pictures of that here, so you'll know what to look for.

Happy Birthday, Roger. You must've posted just after I went to bed - sorry I'm late.

The boxsets contain eXtras to watch.

There was definitely more overtaking this week at the Bahrain Grand Prix. The McLarens were quickest in practice, and Oscar Piastri put his on pole for the race. Lando Norris wasn't as comfortable in his McLaren and only qualified sixth. Max Verstappen was also unhappy with his Red Bull and started seventh. Oscar led the whole race to take his fourth F1 victory. George Russell got his Mercedes up to second at the start and managed to keep the place until the end, although at the moment he's under investigation for a technical infringement. Despite at 5-second penalty for being out of position on the grid, Lando moved up from sixth to finish third. He was followed home by the two Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari had an upgraded car this weekend, but Charles said it wouldn't show much improvement in this race due to the nature of the track. Max got past the Alpine of a fast Pierre Gasly on the last lap. Haas got both of their cars home in the top ten with Esteban Ocon in eighth and Oliver Bearman in tenth. Between them in ninth was Yuki Tsunoda in the second red Bull. The race highlights are here. Only a week until the next race in Saudi Arabia.

Happy Birthday, Tom.

The smashed up a lot of VEHICLES on the show.

I just googled "boars nest sign" and quickly got very depressed by how many people are ripping off my artwork that I naively sent to someone many years ago when they claimed they were making a banner for their kid's birthday. It's too late to do anything about it, so I guess I'll just have to be flattered that people think it's good enough to use!

I forgot about The Stranglers: The worse crime that I ever did, was playing rock 'n roll But the money's no good Just get a grip on yourself

Ozzy might have sung 'Rock 'n' Roll Rebel', but he's a rock/metal artist, not rock 'n' roll. I have dozens of rock 'n' roll songs in my collection, but there's also been a lot of great music before and since (I have music from the 1930s to the present day). Despite rock 'n' roll being mainly a 1950s phenomenon, it has influenced song themes of many later artists, even though they've mainly been rock or pop songs. Here's a few that I have: Joan Jett was obviously fond of the genre when she sang 'I Love Rock 'n' Roll'. Billy Joel said 'It's Still Rock and Roll to Me'. Bob Seger sang about 'Old Time Rock & Roll'. Led Zeppelin just did 'Rock and Roll'. AC/DC told us that 'Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution'. Prefab Sprout sang about 'The King of Rock 'N' Roll'. Oasis sang about a 'Rock 'N' Roll Star'. Ian Dury even sang about three commonly connected themes - 'Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll'. And Amy Macdonald sang about 'Mr Rock & Roll'. I wouldn't call any of these songs rock 'n' roll, and still can't think of any recent examples of that style, but maybe Danny and the Juniors were right on the soundtrack of Christine when they sang 'Rock And Roll Is Here To Stay'.

I like the Suzuka circuit because it's the only figure 8 on the F1 calendar, but today's Japanese Grand Prix was pretty dull. Max Verstappen had mediocre practice sessions, but claimed pole in the final qualifying. In the race, the top six finished in the order they started and all the cars saw the checkered flag. Max was first, followed by the McLarens of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc, and the Mercedeses of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. Lewis Hamilton was seventh. Despite Red Bull swapping drivers after China, Yuki Tsunoda could only finish 12th in the other Red Bull at his home race. Lando Norris now leads Max Verstappen by a single point in the Drivers' Championship. The race highlights are here. Only a week until the next race in Bahrain.

Who's making rock 'n' music today? There's plenty of rock bands and other genres, but I'm struggling to think of a modern rock 'n' roll act.

Not me. Sad as it may be, it's a true biographical story, so I want the movie to portray what actually happened. If you made a fantasy movie entirely based around the premise that he survived, that might be different, but don't change reality in a factual movie.

Of course, Tammy Wynette also famously sang about the subject, but to keep things light, here's Scottish comedian/musician Billy Connolly's take on the song.

Rosco's bride was SUE Ann.

Daisy was a NURSE in the church play.

I got to see the races a few years ago, so I fairly randomly picked Ricky Stenhouse Jr as it was his first season and my first season. Nowadays, I don't see the races and only occasionally see the results. You will, however, notice that I regularly hijack the NASCAR News thread to post about F1. I tend to be fairly patriotic with my driver choices and back the British drivers. I'd love Lewis Hamilton to win an eighth championship before he retires, but it looks more like being Lando Norris's year. George Russell could also be in with a chance.

I think all the original links may be broken now, and the images missing. When I get a chance, I'll see whether I ever downloaded the floor plan.

Welcome to HNet, Tom.

I've never heard of Tom, but I enjoyed that. Thanks. The title reminded me that friends have recommended that I watch the British spy thriller series Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas amongst others, but I don't have Apple TV, so far I haven't seen it. I see her full name was Iris Dixie Dean. Over here, "Dixie" Dean was probably the most famous football (soccer) player of the 1920s.

It's often pronounced like that in Ireland, as this short clip from 'Father Ted' shows:
