TALBO

I'm the same, V8 Supercars don't do it for me at all... F1 however.... where do I start... I'd be keen for a F1 get together, and yeah no talking while the action is on. If OneHD does the Japanese GP later in the season live it could be the goer.

We've seen that sort of thing and it's incredibly easy to separate the elite from the good. Damon Hill is another that comes to mind, although David Coulthard was team mate alongside both Damon (at Williams) and Mika (at McLaren) in Newey designed Williams and McLaren's and still couldn't get the job done!!! Most drivers that have come into F1 and gone straight into a competitive car have more often than not had minimal long term success or none (Andretti, Hill, Villeneuve, Montoya, Zanardi, Coulthard.... these are the first ones that come to mind). Will be interesting to see how Hamilton's career progresses because history isn't necessarily on his side. Some of the greats (and some not so highly regarded) that I rate have kind of come through the ranks inside F1 (started their careers with ordinary teams), I'd include the likes of Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, Nikki Lauda, Fernando Alonso, Mika Hakkinen who are all won multiple WDC's.

Cool. Easy to mis-interpret tone on the inet, I apologise Fair. I think you'll find though I'm not really wearing blinkers Let me know when you're done with your exams and we'll have a chat about F1, even over a beer if you're game. Read that too (didn't take long did it) about the break away series calender. I'd love to see F1 cars back on the streets of Adelaide but I' not going to get excited yet until there is some form of confirmation. Monaco isn't really a drivers track, most F1 drivers aren't that fond of it...... It would be soooo interesting to see a modern F1 car with the sort of grip levels they have now on the streets here.

Same, and I did see a few police out when I picked the mrs up from work. (incidentally got persuaded by the guy at Repco to buy some expensive Narva replacement H1 globes!!!!) I don't know if anyone lives out towards Fulham Gardens, but I saw 3 speed cameras in and around the are this morning as well as 2 motorcycled police sitting on corners watching traffic.

I can't justify the expense when I clearly ain't watching enough of it

Maybe I don't watch enough TV

Actually not really, I've been more interested lately in the FOTA v FIA war and I'm realistic enough to know that Ferrari are making up the numbers this year. But we'll pretend like I do cause that's what you want to think. BTW all those gay pictures you attach to every second post are getting old too now! I'm willing to have reasonable conversations in this thread, problem is there's not that many posters in this thread that actually know what they're talking about..... so I'll stick to the other more intelligent F1 thread from now on located elsewhere on this forum where things get discussed like adults without insults because we're not all one eyed Webber fan boys. Now of course Fishpaste will come along and tell me I've copped out again because I don't know what I'm talking about or I don't have a valid arguement, the reason I edited my post last night was believe it or not an attempt to diffuse the situation because it's true... I really don't care enough. I invite you to PM me your phone number and we can discuss all the F1 rules and regulations I (apparently) have no clue about like adults, that way we can keep the nonsense out of this thread. Or if you prefer you could list here in this thread (in an adult manner) or even via PM what exactly I have no clue about and I'll respond in an adult manner. I will however no longer respond to nonsense as I have in the past.

Something to keep one occupied on a rainy Sunday afternoon...

I remember reading an article somewhere (don't recall exactly where) and it told the story about how a reporter had to go to the track to do the interview with MS. Apparently long after most of pitlane had expired for the night MS could be found analyzing data with engineers in the garage, looking at where he could extract a few extra precious 10ths.

Spotted a tough sliver R33 GTR with black wheels on Salisbury Hwy about an hour ago. Very nice car

Any pics of her?

Of course..... I've been caught out. LOL! Call it what you want if that makes you feel better because you obviously didn't read anything I posted in response to 'Boof' and frankly I couldn't care less who I'm talking to.... Am I supposed to be scared because "You don't know who you're talking to".... any fkn moron can type heroic shit like that on the inet, just ask Rhys he'll give some real good pointers! Oh and not bad again Rhys, you managed to contribute nothing to this thread except your usual trolling bullshit that you spill in every other thread.... would'nt we call that a FAIL? I wouldn't though because it just so homo calling everything a fail.... gets a bit old especially since you know squat about anything and use the word fail to cover it up. Once again

I don't really get into Star Wars but I too concur... prequels suck!

Edited - care factor tooooooo low I'm done with this thread (Sorry Dan) and all it's nonsense contained within.

You make some good points Baron. Lewis after all was pretty much handed the title in Brazil depending on how one looks at it..... (ducks for cover...) FOTA have 8 teams united at the moment not 4, but having said that I will be surprised if a compromise isn't found and everyone goes racing again next year

I've had not problems with pushing it between 100-110 on my X38 mobo running X48 Rampage BIOS.

Maybe he was closer than I thought then

Really.... LOL!

I didn't think he was anywhere near close enough to Rubens to be held up.... just my opinion.

It was suggested on the previous page by someone else that Kimi cost Mark the pole Damo, it might be a tall poppy syndrome thing where you just got to hate Ferrari because they've been successful in the past.... I dunno and I don't lose sleep over it.

Definitely the Ferrari team should've been on the radio and told him if he was napping, but I'm still 100% sure he would not have had the pole nor the pace from P2 to stay with or compete with Vettel. Vettel was simply in a class of his own last night. EDIT: Kimi and everyone else for that matter have to comply with a certain speed % on 'in' laps

They did televise the radio communication from RBR/Renault to Vettel but I can't remember the exact terminology used but it was to the effect of short shifting or using less revs.

It is kind of amusing how shit scared some people get over police

You guys serously make me laugh.... cheatrari wtf..? Talk about Ferrari when your team has a record/history/prestige that can match theirs!!! What did Kimi have to gain from deliberately blocking Mark.... that's right nothing because the RBR cars had obviously much more pace than the Ferrari's. Obviously the race stewards didn't think there was anything in either, but once again Mark opens his big mouth and has a whinge about what could've been. He should learn to stfu and let his driving do the talking. In regards to KERS, it's within in the rules and available to any team that chooses to develop and use it so I don't really get your point. I appreciate how patriotic you guys are but really need to get a grip on reality. It really is amazing how Aussie fans jump on any fkn band wagon depending on who's winning..... No one gave a fk about the Socceroos before they made the World Cup finals in 2006.... no one gave a fk about Pat Rafter until he won a US Open... no one gave a fk about Webber until he started getiing points finishes and podiums. EDIT: How so Damo?

Roy - I'm pretty sure the engineers from Renault asked Vettel to start short shifting after the first round of pit stops to preserve the engine. GBP415.... Whoa... those tickets would better come with a..... LOL!
