Name That Shifter, No. 39: Carbodies FX4 Fairway

On Monday, we presented this week?s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle from whence it came. While the photo wasn?t of the best quality and this shifter was particularly tough, we still expected one of you internet detectives to figure it out. We were wrong: No one who [...]

Report: Colin McRae found at fault in his own fatal helicopter crash

Filed under: , ,

Colin McRae, Travis Pastrana and Ken Block

A judicial inquiry has found Colin McCrae at fault for the helicopter crash that killed the rally driver, a friend and two children, including Colin's son Johnny McCrae, in 2007. According to The Guardian, McCrae wasn't properly licensed to fly the helicopter, and he had undertaken a number of dangerous maneuvers in the air before crashing into a wooden hillside. The inquiry evaluated evidence related to the crash, including video taken by 36-year-old Graeme Arthur Duncan shortly before the impact. The video showed McCrae buzzing farm buildings at an elevation of 275 feet before banking sharply.

From there, the helicopter descended into a wooden valley before crashing down. First responders said that the aircraft struck the ground with such force that it was impossible to tell what sort of accident had occurred without further investigation.

Despite the finding, the McCrae family say that Colin was a capable and experienced pilot, and that they will never truly know what caused the crash.

2013 Audi S8 4.0T Official Photos and Info: Trading Cylinders for Turbos

The Audi S8 trades cylinders for turbochargers. The idea of a high-revving Lamborghini V-10 in an executive sedan still sounds pretty ridiculous, but that?s exactly the formula Audi followed to create the last S8. It?s a car of which we have fond memories, excepting perhaps our long-term example?s costly facial rearrangement (our fault) and propensity [...]
