Cars and other kinds of motoring gibberish

Toro Rosso will officially complete its 2008 driver line-up on Wednesday, according to a specialist report on Tuesday.


Multiple Champ Car title winner Sebastien Bourdais has now reached a deal with the Faenza based team to replace Tonio Liuzzi from 2008, the Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell claimed.


28-year-old Bourdais will join the already-confirmed German rookie Sebastian Vettel in the team, and plans to relocate from Florida to Europe with his wife Claire and their baby daughter Emma.


The publication reported that Bourdais was tying up loose ends with his American employer Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing so that an official announcement could theoretically be made on Wednesday

Estimate to replace two front shock assemblies, including the struts, $750.

Two or three less nights I can spend in Japan.

[bmwracer]

Spent the good part of the day working on the car:

1. Wax
2. Wash and clean the air filter
3. Remove, clean, and reinstall the sparkplugs
3. Change ventilation microfilter
4. Replace drive belts


Time to pass out.

Yeah, he seems to have lost quite a bit of steam... Doesn't help living in the shadow of an uber-famous brother... Lotsa pressure.
