1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Nice looking bodywork around the rear suspension though. Very nicely done. :) I shall have to congratulate my Renault aerodynamicist friend. :)

Urmm before congratulating him you might want to ask him what they put in the coffee the morning they came up with that massive zit nose as I shall henceforth call it.
The Williams walrus nose in 2004 was not nice but this is just well, bad.
The car itself? makes me want to cry. Its the only car that doesn't look good from a single angle. :'(
