Default NG to be renamed uk.rec.motoring

As Bod and Simon Mason have turned this NG into a motoring NG, isn't it
about time we renamed it?

Anyway, to carry their theme on:

No - F1 cars need to make a pit stop 2-3 times in 200 miles to be fettled by a large squad of mechanics, followed by a total engine rebuild after every race.

Clearly not viable.

Be fair, I varied the theme earlier with an elephant video clip.

Hmmm... "pit-stop"... the phrase reminds me of something discussed right
here in this NG... not sure what...

They are using a similar tactic to, was he called Brian Robinson/ Glug or
something ------------"Taking this group back".
Simon is bored out of his mind since he took early retirement and really
should find a little job, just something to do. He has worked hard for all
of his life and I respect that.
Bod's "life" is sitting in front of a keyboard and has been since I first
chatted with him 15 years ago. Make of that what you will.
They will get fed up of having their bottoms booted around soon. Both are
easy meat.

And I once posted a clip of a train hitting a car that had jumped a level crossing red light. Fair's fair.
