Unless either (or both) is *so* mindlessly stupid, that it casts
the series in a strongly negative light. (I'm thinking more of the
movie here.) Time will tell, but I'm not holding my breath. :(

nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
