How would you rate this F1 craft?

Nicely done.
 
Confirmation for WildCard Race #2 has opened. It will definitely be a wild one, given the excellent choice made by my "arch enemy" and all around good guy, @Cornbread243.
This race will certainly be a test of skill, although it may not be uncommon for some us to break out the "Black Betty" at the end of it all!
Get ready to buckle up and head out to the California desert.
(For historical purposes: David Hackett Fischer, in his book Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America (Oxford University Press, 1989), states that "Black Betty" was a common term for a bottle of whisky in the borderlands of northern England/southern Scotland, and later in the backcountry areas of the eastern United States. In January 1736, Benjamin Franklin published The Drinker's Dictionary in the Pennsylvania Gazette offering 228 round-about phrases for being drunk. One of those phrases is "He's kiss'd black Betty."Other sources give the meaning of "Black Betty" in the United States (from at least 1827) as a liquor bottle.
@Yugofan, this one's for you bud!

I was supposed to be a "Cooper Jack" until a couple weeks before I was born, named after the F1 team boss and builder of amazing Mini's John Cooper. They opted to ditch motorsport for bible (?) and named me Jacob Daniel :lol:

I'm still pissed about it.
Ha! We have an Ezra already and we were going to do another Bible name...but someone *cough cough*.. @Neutty liked the name Zerubbabel. Yeahhhh not gonna happen. So when we agreed on this we decided to ditch the Bible names lol
 
All but one of my kids have a Presidential name. My oldest and the one we lost early on was named Madison, my youngest is Reagan, and if I have my way, the baby in the oven will be Abigail, named after the wife of John Adams.
 
My parents just kept the ball rolling with Samuel Joseph and Joshua James after me, so they apparently liked the bible names, despite not being religious. The presidential idea is particularly cool because there have been some epic handles in that catalogue.

My favorites are Historical, Biblical, and Hillbilly.

Nah, they just named you after a Punk/Ska band who is actually Less Than, and then named you after the guy working the convenience store counter.

Good ol' Jake Dan.



@PApunk924 was trying to get @Mrs Neutty to name the kid ZooBooks but she would't go for it. I am not sure why, it sounded alright. Lol
