How long are we meant to wait? Amazon lists season 3 of the Unit as being available from the 20th October! Its already being shown on Virgin 1.
I’m not a patient man when it comes to picking up boxed sets. Anyone who knows me knows that!!!
Three months to go. This is TORTURE I tell you! 😀
Once again, another race that reminds us F1 fans why we are F1 fans!
A stunning drive from Lewis Hamilton, driving his way to the front after his team lost their way slightly during the safety car period. Loads of overtaking, race tactics and inspired driving from a great deal of the participants.
The overtaking is something definitely worth a mention. Vettel holding Alonso behind him was an incredible piece of driving, forcing an error that resulted in Alonso being overtaken by two other cars! That’s about as “elbows out” as it gets! (It probably didn’t help that Alonso was obviously peeved with Vettel about the pit lane thing, I wonder what’ll come of that?)
On the flip side of the coin, Massa blatantly opening the door for Hamilton to pass him at the hairpin. Massa, mate, what were you thinking? Holding the inside line going down to the corner then sweeping left; out of the way of Hamilton? I know its not true but it just seems Massa almost gives up as soon as Hamilton is following him.
Piquet’s quiet drive to the front is surely going to be the highlight of his career so far. Finally, the raw talent he was showing in GP2 has come through. Simply brilliant.
So, to sum up. Ferrari’s drivers need to up their game if they want that championship. Hamilton is roaring ahead and just getting faster. Car developments or not, that man is getting faster and faster. He’s developing a driving technique that’s taking that car way beyond the performances any other driver could accomplish. Bravo!
I finally found it! One of the most brilliant songs in the history of the known universe…. OK, bit of an exageration but its Mr Blue by the Dance Hall Crashers! “Never heard of it” I hear you cry, well I’ve been trawling the web trying to find it and I finally have!

Many many many eternal thanks to Paul for his post of the excellent grooveshark website on his blog. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve been looking for this for AGES!
Update: I also managed to find the video on YouTube too!
A bitter sweat race that one wasn’t it?
Second to last race (we’ll see) for Silverstone and the last one there for DC. Worse still, landing up in the kitty litter on lap one can’t exactly be the race he had planned.
Although I’ve spent years as a Ferrari fan I can still appreciate strategies and driving by other teams and drivers. Honda totally made the right calls (Brawn was exceptional as always in his tyre choices for the drivers) and of course McLaren (especially Lewis) did an incredible job. To drive that well on tyres that must’ve felt as if they were made of ice is astonishing. People use the word too much but I really did see an amount of “Schumacher” in his ability to judge the grip level so perfectly.
Silverstone was a race where a whole bunch of drivers answered their critics perfectly, Hamilton answered his critics in the best way possible. Heidfeld answered all those that said Kubica was tearing him a new one and of course Barrichello, what a guy! Too old to race? My arse!
As for my beloved Ferrari? Well, I’ll just say: No comment! 🙂
This being a blog called Ed’s Place, the home of Ed’s rants and raves, it only seems fair that I actually contribute!
I’m pleased to announce that the new Photography section is now up and running. Not much there yet but over the coming days and weeks I’ll endeavour to get some more snaps up there for everyone to look at. I’m hoping to expand this element of the site a little by creating a wallpapers section where people can download any pics they really like to use as desktop backgrounds.
Hope you like them.
