The Hitchhiker : This story happened about a month ago, in a little town in Victoria, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitch**** tale, it's real. This guy was on the side of the road near Terang hitch-hiking on a very dark night and in the middle of a storm. The night was black and no cars went by. The storm was so strong, he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly he saw a car coming towards him. It stopped. The guy, without thinking about it, got in the car, closed the door and then realized there was nobody behind the wheel. The car started slowly. The guy looks at the road and sees a curve coming his way. Scared he starts to pray begging for his life. He hasn't come out of shock, when just before he hits the curve, a hand appears through the window and moves the wheel. The guy, paralysed in terror, watches how the hand appears every time they get to a curve. The guy, gathering strength, gets out of the car and runs to the nearest town. Wet and in shock, he goes to a pub and asks for two shots of whiskey, and starts telling everybody about the horrible experience he just went through. A silence enveloped everybody when they realized the guy is crying and isn't drunk. About half an hour later, two blokes walked in the same pub and one said to the other "Look Bill, there's the wanker that got in the car when we were pushing it!!!"

F1 cars don't have flywheels. I think you should get rid of yours too! I know what it's like to be overtaken by excels, etc.... Screwy AFM's do something similar to that too.

Gene is in for Magny Cours. JV is too much a negative nancy. Ralf is one already so why replace one with another? I've always thought test drivers should get a crack at drives. Guys like JV and Hakkinen have had their time in the limelight. These guys bust their backs behind the scene doing all the dirty work. I don't think JV or Hakkinen can pull off a Prost. Come out of retirement and still be competative or take a title. Prost is one of the immortals of F1. Even Mansell couldn't do it. If anyone should get a crack besides Gene I reckon BAR test driver Anthony Davidson is a good pick.

Great analogy there! Check this out http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlines/new...629091732.shtml Someone wants Webber bad. And then there's this http://f1.racing-live.com/en/headlines/new...630090551.shtml "I wish it was Budapest now" Ouch! Jag's gotta hurt from that comment.

I doubt Fisi is going to Williams. It's known he's waiting for Schuey or Barachello to leave. Any Italian would relish the opportunity to drive a Ferrari. If Williams did sign him up it would be only a year contract. Yeah Ralf isn't too good with PR for the team.

Why do you never fall in love with a tennis player? Because love means nothing to them.

What did the cyclone say to the coconut tree? Hold on to your nuts. This is going to be one hell of a blowjob.

LOL! KB Beer.

Invest in an oil filter relocater kit. The garage floor has been clean since!

Williams test drivers are Gene and Pizzona. Last year when Gene replaced Ralf he was pretty quick. Pizonna... well we all know him for all the wrong reasons. Not sure if RS is staying cause I read somewhere that Frank Williams doesn't want him anymore. Frank is known to be tight with his wallet and Ralf would have to take a significant pay cut. He's not delivering what Frank thought he could.

Is that the big shopping complex? It was a pain in the ass and I never got there.... I had to settle for macca's cause my tummy was grumbling.

Someone tape it then!

I don't see Jaguar beating Sauber. The Cosworth motor is proving very unreliable and we all know that the Sauber/Ferrari motor is reliable. I just hope that the FW27 is better than the current FW26. I think I read somewhere that the FW26 has had no major developments since Maylasia. And that the same flaws in the FW26 are similar to the flaws of the FW25. Possible shake up at Williams???

Anyone tape it? TV at work couldn't pick up SBS.

Well just keep that little secret under wraps. Ricers have to justify their existance somehow.

Stickers add to the performance of the car? How? Stickers are usually very slippery, thus when the air passes the sticker it has less resistance than the surface of the panel. So in short, stickers reduce the aerodynamic co-efficent of the car. Example. Look at F1 cars. The cars with most sponsorship stickers are the faster cars. Best example the Ferrari's (also red is faster but that's another essay). Cars like the Jordan and Minardi are slow because they lack stickers. :uh-huh: :bahaha:

I know a well known bodykit place that get their kits manufactured in China. You may want to investigate that.

:werd: Especially drivers who crash SAAB's.

I say all are welcome. Just don't go posting up "Supra's are better than Skylines" threads and you'll make plenty of friends.

Where was this place??? :confused: I must have driven past it a hundred times that night! You go past the station and the number goes up to 362 and then numbers changes to 800??? onwards!

If it's in very late October/early November then I'll be there. Carefully selected individuals hey? Fatz is first on the list! lol!

Ok I'm convinced. I've been a real slack ass lately and haven't been to any SAU outings.

I'm NSW born and breed but Sydney sucks! May I'm saying that cause 2 of my cars were broken into within a short space of time but I've had enough of the city. I'm looking to move out of the city. Melbourne has a certain charm to it but I can't bare the winter there. QLD is fun but maybe that's cause I've only been there a few times and there is so much more to explore. Next place to explore is Adelaide. I'm going to get tanked up down there on nothing but red wine.

It would be an absolute dream if Webber get to drive for the scarlet red car! Learn from the master himself but I'd hate it if Ferrari don't allow him to race against Schuey.
