Obviously, some of us have more spare time than others. The good thing about it is that some of the folks lucky enough to have some extra time do really cool things to further our affliction with everything automotive.

Follow the link to ApocaIX, and you will have a pretty respectable listing of the major motorsports venues on earth with satellite photos and links to Google Earth showing the same, but often with better zooming features and clearer images.

Pretty cool stuff to check out during those precious few seconds of down time when the boss isn't looking.

"At the next boulder, turn right off cliff"

Technology is wonderful. Technology is also made or, in this case, programmed by people.

Drivers using GPS navigation in the English village of Crackpot (killer name for a town, BTW) are often being guided by such devices to the top of a 30-metre (over 98 feet) cliff. The directional glitch forces drivers of everything from cars to buses to big trucks to turn around perilously close to the cliff's edge. Predictably, though, sometimes the vehicle gets stuck. Says Carol Porter, who farms in Crackpot, "When they get grounded on the small boulders, we're having to go up there in the tractor and pull them out."
