New Lotus Europa - this one's a type 46 Series 1A

Well, it's true, we've gone and purchased another Europa. 

This one's a 1967 type 46, Series 1A. And, there isn't anything that it don't need!

But, that's what you get for $100. And no, that's not a typo.

See some photos.

German GP - Hamilton WFT!

Short post here - but the start of the race saw Lewis Hamilton wildly overtake all starters, thanks to KERS... then completely loose it and collide with poll sitter and eventual winner Mark Webber.

Hamilton then pitted for adjustments and new tires and then asked his team if he could just sit the rest of the race out. His excuse was to "save the car". My question is, since when does a reigning world champion not get back in the fight - particularly after nearly putting themselves and nearly the leaders out of the race. What happened to Press On Regardless, 10/10ths, and fighting till the end. Remember Shui's final race - Gilles pushing on harder after a spin - what of that? It's a disgrace.
