Sensible move @Giles, and hey - now you have two boats!

Mad respect for what Horner did as a principal, and he’s a master shit stirrer and troller, which is part of the game to some extent (the likes of Vowles aside).
But he’s also a hypocrite and did something that was bad enough to tear down a dominant team in very catastrophic fashion. For a while there it seemed like every dimension of F1 went from class of the grid to a laughable level of incompetence.
Greek tragic level of downfall, but he leaves RBR among the top handful of principals in F1 history purely from podiums, wins, WCCs, and WDCs.
Also. I just don’t understand why he would mess around on his gorgeous and incredible supportive wife. Who knows what she’s really like but from afar she seems like quite a catch and that he outkicked his coverage considerably (forgive the American football metaphor).

@Giles you may know much more about her than she was in Spice Girls, which is about the extent of my knowledge.
-
Seems like my unpopular opinion about wearing trainers is less controversial than this thread (or whether Jerry Seinfeld is funny)
-
To each his own; I think she and Victoria are hotties.
I find the Spice Girls music beyond insufferable though. Their big hit came on somewhere just the other day and I really wished I were temporarily deaf.
-
True, to each their own. Posh is further down my hottie list than Ginge. That affected pout is thing of great awfulness.....I has talking to H one day about her, and he unprompted did the "posh pout", so at least she has global reach....

I remember only slightly a very long time ago a good house party on a council estate in Maidenhead where the whole bunch of spices were staying before they were being launched and working on their debut single
I think the place looked better after everyone left than it before we all arrived -

2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed Live Stream for the weekend
This is a bucket list item for me. Maybe we can do an IH meetup one year
-
Very cool idea. I would be down for that.
When I went, we stayed in Portsmouth and caught the train / shuttle in and back and it was fine.
Also, the Thursday is quieter, cheaper and easier to get tix and accommodation than the other days.
-
The first question being, will there be a IH x Festival of Speed collaboration collection
I'm thinking a black waxed cotton rider's jacket with something like this on the back. Something old school dragway.
-
Second question - with all this great new IH x FOS gear, will there be an IH stand at Goodwood?

People were seriously not interested in buying good quality clothing.
Yup

Super generalisation here. In Europe and USA people will spend a shit ton on getting their car or bike pimped to the nth degree and spend fuck-all on themselves. In Japan, looking good on/in your ride is as important as how good your ride looks.
Every bike/car show I have taken Iron Heart to has been an unmitigated disaster fiscally.

Interesting Giles.
Made me think of a time when I was living in Sydney and speaking with a dealer of second-hand Danish furniture that he imports from Copenhagen.
He said that Japan was the strongest market for vintage Danish furniture, stronger than the US and Australia. The reason he said was that Japanese houses are smaller and have limited space for furniture compared with American or Aussie homes. Therefore, the Japanese are willing to spend more on the perfect sofa as a statement piece because they won't be buying lots of stuff. Whereas the Americans and Aussies have potentially a bunch of rooms to fill with shit.
So, back your point - I suspect car ownership is lower in Japan, and they are willing to pay more for their clothes as that will be their statement piece out and about rather than the car.
I myself justified buying a Belstaff leather jacket as I knew I was never going to own a Maserati
