So the directive from management to the drivers is to pedal the racecars around a track in the same fashion that road-legal Toyotas are driven by their sloth-like customers?

They're generally just there to get in the way and frustrate the ppl trying to get to their destination in the most expedient manner?

it all makes sense now....

Well i hear that Alonso will announce in the next 48hours and that Renault are making comments along the lines of a completely new driver line up. So does that mean Heiki to McLaren and Piquet Jr gets the call up? Alonso to Renault and Fisi drinking at the bar rambling about what could have been, Irvine style ?

You guys have missed the obvious driver for McLaren....

The Stig!!! he's the obvious choice - he's english, he can drive daewoos around test tracks, and he doesn't whine if he gets beaten. In fact he doesn't speak at all - something most race car drivers should take note of! You get paid to drive, not talk, so shut it!

I'd like the Stig to get the job, simply because he has a history of not playing well with team-mates. If Hamilton pisses him off, he'll dispose of him like he did with the "Black stig" Some people say it was due to brake failure when he tried to drag off a Harrier jump jet on the deck of an aircraft carrier in a nitrous jag, but investigations reveal that white stig was involved.

So if Lewis get's invited to drive a jag, we know what'll happen next.

Q: Finally, you were a McLaren man for several years - what’s your take on the team’s troubles this season?

AN: If you’re talking about the espionage saga, my personal opinion is that it’s become over-hyped. Such things have always gone on in the industry and will always continue to do so, the fact is that there have been far bigger breaches of personnel taking info with them from one team to another in the past which have gone undetected or without penalty. My personal opinion is that anything anyone can take with them in their head is fair game, but anything that is written or in electronic format is not.

:D :laughing-smiley-014:

Man, Alonso should just shut up and sign already, he doesn't deserve the amount he's asking. He has no loyalty. He already had a winning team, but decided to leave. Went to Maclaren, also a winning team. Left that too.

Good on renault for demanding a min 3 year contract and the amount less than that asked by Alonso. They have the upper hand now so use it and show him who the boss really is.

Lewis gets driving lessons from one of the best

Friday 30th November 2007

Lewis Hamilton returned to basics when the F1 ace was given a few driving lessons from racing legend - The Stig.

Hamilton's learner drive though had little to do with his preparations for next year's F1 World Championship and more to do with his celebrity guest slot on Top Gear's 'Star In A Reasonably Price Car'.

The McLaren driver swapped his MP4-22 and its 200mph speeds for a not-so-leisurely drive in a Suzuki Liana around the TV show's test track.

However, everyone needs a bit of help at times and so the mysterious man behind the helmet, The Stig, was on hand to give Hamilton a few driving lessons.

"Lewis was the one everyone wanted to see take to the circuit. He may be a top racing driver, but he had to go around with The Stig first to learn all about the track," a BBC source said.

But as to how fast Hamilton went, Top Gear aren't letting on other than to say: "It was fast as you'd expect. But you'll have to wait and see exactly how fast."

To see Hamilton's lap times you'll need to tune into Top Gear on Sunday at 8pm, where you can also find out how he compared to fellow F1 racer Mark Webber as well as former British drivers Damon Hill and Nigel Mansell.

fks sake, its not even the first race of the season and im already sick of this cock

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
