I was driving along this morning & came across a huge bowl of custard , around the next corner was a strawberry flan , & then a large cheesecake .

It did seem like the roads were strangely desserted ?

Similar scene on a Rugby Tour in the 80's where myself and the rest of the party were held by the local Police @ Buenos Aires Airport, and only let go once our plane was boarding - the joy of youth

Questions for the specialists. Why did Ferrari paint the rims in light blue in the 60s? Can anyone tell me the reference please or something close? And no, I've absolutely no clue of what the answers can be!
One idea here https://www.f1technical.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20168

To help you pass the time and exercise your chuckle muscles - hopefully.

The picture might be worth a caption or two?

OK, here's a little question for you. Not exactly Historic Racing Today, but certainly historic.
Can you answer who, what where and when with this picture, but also explain what strange thing happened to this team at this event?

Probably way wide of the mark here but maybe Coulthard wearing Schumachers crash helmet at Monaco in the mid 90's... he had borrowed a helmet from Michael as his own was misting up.
IIRC Schumacher crashed out on the opening lap and DC got a podium.
Actually I dont think Michael wore a red crash helmet in those days so as I said this thought is probably way wide of the mark.
Also I dont think that McLaren is of the Coulthard era and is much older, so probably something more to do with Lauda back c 1984.

Was this Dallas 1984 where both McLarens failed to score points for the first time that year?

A good try EB but not correct although you have got something right.

Close and along the right lines Baub, but not right I'm afraid.

I find Viva's question was fantastic, RBS answer too and EB suggestion shared my memory. Thank you all.

Is it Iain looking for Colin's master switch or… ignition key may be? Or a caliper bolt?
