Freak of the Week: Practically Impractical
Ever since hot hatches became popular, so too have there been mid-engined hatchbacks. Unfortunately, though I can clearly see why, the idea never caught on...
In MOTORING CON BRIO fashion, I've compiled my own grab bag of photos of mid engine hatches.

Oh Snap! Guess what I saw...
Here's a random snap of a first generation Honda Accord. I spotted this at the Natick Mall in Massachusetts and I couldn't believe how clean it looked. Sorry about the lighting and quality!

| Behold the 1976-1981 Accord! |

| The "CVCC" badge touted the stratified charge engine that met smog standards without a catalytic converter. |

| It was also equipped with a 5-speed!!! In a 30 year old car!!! |

F1 2011. All teams. All pictures.
First and foremost, Flappy Paddle Heads wishes Lotus Renault driver Robert Kubica a rapid recovery. It isn't the first time he's missed some bullets.
If I could be honest, as F1 fans, it's a bit inconsequential to cover the cars of 2011 so early in the year. Take the 2010 season for example, when McLaren created a bit of a commotion as the innovators of the F-duct so early in the season.
... Did they win the Constructors title?
What about when Red Bull was accused of an unfair advantage because of their blown diffuser and was then requested by the FIA to make changes before racing at Monaco?
Did they not win Monaco anyway?
But it's what we do, and unlike other sports where we worry about teams, players, and that Bud Light commercial, premiership motor sports has that extra little "hardware" factor-- Formula 1 being every engineering nerd's wet dream.
Here are the rules and regulations of 2011 in a nutshell:
F-ducts and double diffusers are gone, KERS is back, active spoilers are new, Pirelli is the official tire supplier for the 2011 season of Formula 1.
