This week's caption competition features Formula One's Ralf Schumacher driving a different sort of car.
The German, who has recently signed to drive for Toyota, was in London on a promotional visit and found time to play with some toy cars.
He had a disappointing 2004 season which again saw his brother Michael claim the Drivers' Championship.
So what did you think is going through Ralf's mind as he plays with his cars?
This week's comedy genius is Mark Alexander from Penarth, Wales who conjured up this witty one-liner:
Ralf smiled as he prepared to use his high-pressure shower on the next Ferrari he saw
Nice one Mark! The BBC goody bag is on its way!
A new cap comp will be published on Monday.
