No one commented on the frugal Scotsman not having a car?

Either Force India is not paying him enough to afford a car

or maybe

He had his license taken away for speeding?

One time I was doing some stuff for Audi and a bunch of long time quattro enthusiasts came along, they were folk doing lobs like Chief Highway Engineers and Veterinary Surgeons - people who HAD to get there whatever the weather. Only Audi cuts it for these guys.

Of course along with quattro GmbH handing out nice cars comes the invitations to the driving course above the Arctic Circle in Finland - mega fun.

Love it that Vettel has a VW T-5 One of the most under-appreciated conveyances ever. I've had one since '99.

I guess I think more like Webber and Pastor. Porsche, Infiniti, and Jeep stuff. But good stuff to know.

One thing is NEVER tell any one else driving that you race. They will instantly begin driving like a bat out of hell and you will be very glad to get out of there and back to the track. Ask any of these guys.
