The first instalment, shown below, details the crash that took place on the final jump of what he described as “the ride of my life” at the Crankworx’ Red Bull Joyride.

if you think this is a religious war you are fundementally mistaken - it is about power and control and land.
Growling and barking are often signs that a dog is scared or uneasy, but yeah, that'll be why the sign is there.
You do get that there will be no material differences between the 2 right? Apart from 150g (1/3 of a poo or a 1/3 of a water bottle full) or so or...
Good review of the review!...
Think you're correct on the Renault. I don't find it makes any difference to breathing, because if you look at the picture their upper arms are...
