but jim's racing with Mezara, so he's got no chance :)

JPM for the F1 title. He manageged to drive alongside MS thru the first chicane at Monza. Would MS show the same sense if punting someone off would win him the title?

I never really liked Longhurst until he decided to try and knock Morris's head off, for which i award him the big :D

So hes alright in my book:D ... even if he does seem to get thrown out of every team he has driven for after one season, maybe he should go and setup his own team again.:(

Montoya for F1 championship cauz Shuey is a bit of a tool, (if u can remember back to the Damon Hill days).

DIDO... Skaife for bathurst, or perhaps Lowndes/Seton, and go the Williams, next to Jordan they are the biggest employer of Aus engineers in F1

Hat goes off to MS, looks like he has it in the bag with the last round being at Suzuka, but you never can tell.

I have to say last night was one of the most entertaining races i have seen in a while. I almost woke everyone in the house when Weber went off. NOOOO!!!

If your a team owner and you have a guy that is genuinely leading a race, (ie after pitstop would still be in lead, if not 2nd) then if its pissing down rain why do you bring the teamate in first for wets, only to leave in this case Weber to slide off into the wall on slicks?

The rain/weather looked to suit the Jaguars, if only he had lasted one more lap he could have finished 3rd instead of Frentzen, if not better.

Yeah it was a good race, at first, wasn;t it, almost worth waking up for :D

as always though, there was so much luck involved in tyre choice in the wet - it worked for schumaker but totally stuffed up montoya.

And with Weber, he has always seemed pretty confident with wet track, he may well have told the team he was OK (as DC must have). Pretty brave call on a track with such a quick section....

I think DC was the guinea pig for Mclaren and Raikkonen, the minute DC radiod back that slicks would do the job, Raikkonen would come in.

I have a video soemwhere of Weber in the his first and only year in Formula Ford in Aus, the race is at Phillip Island in the pooring rain, and he won by a huge margin, somehting like 35 seconds in FF for gods sake.

Came from like 4th on the grid too because of dry qualifying, it seems he has a feel for the slippery conditions!

Channel 9 ...old habits die hard

I was about to start recording when i saw the rain come down after the leaders had already done their first stop and Weber inherited the lead just about as he was to do his first stop. As the others had to pit twice within 4-5 laps for wets i started to get a sniff that this could be Webers first race win. Just as i was grabbing a tape, Weber hit the barrier... oh well.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
