Autobiography, author Perry McCarthy
Website: www.PerryMcCarthy.com

Behind the clowning exterior of Perry McCarthy lies a true racer, one fortunate enough to have survived racing in Formula One with Andrea Moda's death traps, but one also unfortunate enough to have never got the breaks his talent deserved.

Perry's made other drivers look silly in every formula he's taken part in, usually by plain out-driving them...

If you really need any more reasons to find David Coulthard annoying, look no further; rich kid DC took the Williams seat that Perry was also a contender for. Now imagine Pel in a top F1 seat for a decade instead of the humourless "this-will-be-my-year" automoton. No wonder F1 is looking boring, it badly needs folks like McCarthy.

One last thought, would Top Gear have been shown after the watershed if The Stig's original name had been used?

Inspired by Gustaf's reading list I'm starting my own here. It'll be a bit sparse to start with and I'm a bit of a fitful reader so this is a little experimental.

I will try to provide a few lists of books (those I'm reading, those I've read, and those I want to read) and hopefully some terse reviews of the ones I've read, and due to the wonders of pyblosxom this post should pop up to the top of my blog every time I change books (if this behaviour proves to be too annoying, it'll be supressed).

What I really want to find is a suitable RDF schema to represent this information in a semantically correct manner, but short term, I'm just aiming to capture the raw data.

As Phil helpfully points out All Consuming almost does what I need, but it's not quite close enough, so I'll continue manually for now.
