Robert Kubica crashes in Italy just weeks before the 2011 F1 season

Our thoughts go out to Robert Kubica and his family & friends following his horrific crash in Italy a few days ago. He will be missed in this years Formula One season, just weeks away now.

Let's hope he makes a speedy recovery and is back on form for 2012.....I think it's doubtful he will be fit enough for for 2011, even in a few months time. Then again, you never know!

GET WELL SOON ROBERT!!!!!!!!

F1 ABU DHABI PROVISIONAL RESULTS, THE FIGHT FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Gearing myself up for this afternoon's Grand Prix, (excuse the pun!), in Abu Dhabi. It has been such an exciting season with the new points system, a rollercoaster ride with the leader board changing every race.



Let's end the season with a bang.......Here are my predictions of the outcome of todays race:



P1. Lewis Hamilton

P2. Jenson Button

P3. Nico Rosberg



Sebastien Vettel - DNF

Fernando Alonso - DNF

Mark Webber - DNF



Ha ha ha ha, of course my predictions are in a perfect world and based solely on how I like to see it.......would be nice, lol, but then, stranger things have happened!



Whatever the outcome, wishing our boys the best of luck, and roll on next season...I for one can't wait!!!!!

UV RAY HEADLIGHT DAMAGE TOP TIP CHEAP & EASY

My BMW headlights have been suffering UV ray damage for a long time, the lenses were white & cloudy, making nighttime driving a nightmare, plus they looked awful. I tried almost every garage in the area, all of which told me there was nothing I could do except change the headlights, a very costly operation! I looked on the internet, found certain products & advice all of which failed & the problem got worse. In France, where I live, you cannot get replcement lense covers, and to have them shipped was costly too.



But then one day whilst out driving, some kind of bug hit one of the headlights and left a clear patch. When I felt it it felt greasy.........I had an idea!!! When I got home, I rubbed some cooking oil, YES YOU READ RIGHT ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD COOKING OIL, on to the headlights with a cloth and PRESTO!!!! It worked....I couldn't believe it, they are now shiny & look like new, and it didn't cost me a thing!! And because of the layer of grease it protects against further damage. A few days later they are still shiny & clear, maybe I'll have to put on some more oil if it rains, but hey, it's far cheaper and easier than having to replace them.



If you have a UV ray headlight damage problem, I recommend you try my idea & see for yourself!! Good luck!

PS. Not sure if certain headlight covers have a preference to which kind of cooking oil but I used sunflower seed oil!!

RICK ASTLEY, 80’S POP ICON IS NOT DEAD

Following the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcet there have been may rumours going around that 1980’s pop icon Rick Astley has died aged 42.  I have done some research and found an article by ABC News stating that these are purely rumours and are not true at all, they are just hoaxes to get social networking sites talking>  So you can al breath easy, if you’re fans of course!!

THE WEATHER’S GONE CRAZY AND WE’RE HAVING A HEATWAVE!

Europe is on fire, France, Germany, Spain, even the UK…. the weather’s glorious….more than glorious it’s damn hot!!  But when I say the weather’s gone crazy, it really has, just the other day there were hail stones as big as golf balls in New York, who should be having glorious weather too at this time of year!!  And a couple of weeks ago England was flooded in some parts but today they’re seeing temperatures as high as 30 degrees!!  Here in France it’s now 5.40pm and 32 degrees still, and it’s only June!!!  Guess we’d better enjoy it…It might snow next week!!!!

MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD

Michael Jackson dies age 50 of a suspected heart attack.  Loved his music, but for me that’s as far as it goes.  After all his self destruction he was a time bomb waiting to explode.  He will, however, be much missed by his fans.  RIP you poor soul, I’m sure he’ll be much happier where he is now.
