Chat with Web guy Dale Jewett

When news about new cars, motorsports and car collectors shows up at autoweek.com, interactive editor Dale Jewett usually plays a role. It helps that Dale has 100-octane blood (with a fondness for Chevrolet Corvettes) and enjoys most forms of racing, keeping the Web site up to date over the weekends.

Storms batter Britain

THE MET OFFICE has issued a "red" weather warning for exceptionally strong winds in western parts of Wales and north-western parts of England, while the Thames is predicted to rise to its highest level in more than 60 years in some places. On the day dubbed Wild Wednesday, gusts of 108mph hit Aberdaron on the Llyn Peninsula in north west Wales, while 96mph winds were recorded off the south coast of England at the Needles, on the Isle of Wight.
