of course. but equally- who can say the same incident may not have occured if he'd pitted later anyway?

the basic point is Lewis would still be 2008 WDC

yeah 100% agree, don't like Lewis but he won the WDC and is a talent driver. you don't win a WDC just on luck you do need skill

I have had to miss doing Silverstone on this coming Tuesday because i now finish work on Thursday. But looks like i have hood winked somebody in going to Abu Dhabi with me so the watching Webz get his 3rd GP win will have to suffice ")

Has anybody ever been to Abu Dhabi? The hotels i have looked at seem terribly expensive sad.gif

Well, you're either filthy stinkin' rich and you're on holiday there, or you collect the garbage (or some other menial task) and live in the desert near the city. I don't think Abu Dhabi does the 'Motel F1' style accom

I hope the person going to Yas Marina with you isn't really expecting Webz to win there...

So Todt got the main gig at the FIA. Foo king great.

He's the right size for a despot I s'pose.

Well he does look like a clone of old Boney himself...

Still, even though I'm a massive fez fan, I would have much rather seen Vatanen win... Sigh, I just hope Todt is more grounded and pro FOTA/teams/constructors than Max was.

Max was a right tyrant and I'm glad he's gone, for good...

Too fkn right. Ari is a (very accomplished) racer who actually understands racing. Todt is just a bloody beureacrat.

Thats what i was thinking and why i left it so late to confirm i was going! Every GP i have watched, read about or even attended this year had plenty of empty stands. They are not even selling general admission tickets :) Ringng a few hotels today to see if they have some tickets which i can get through the hotel

fiddlesticks!! (that is a great bit of smack so take this one back) haazaaa, put up your dukes and i will teach you a lesson with the sweet science old chum.

I reckon the Williams was a poor car with poor reliability. I reckon the Jaguar was worse. I know the Minardi was rubbish.

(we have seen what happens to good drivers in average cars, Alonso, Raikkonen, Hamilton)

king oath! the williams was a crap car with a half decent engine (when it wasn't blowing up). knowing your car will only last about 2 out of 3 races I guess tends to make you push a bit too hard in the times when it's actually running so you could forgive a few f**kups on his part too.

the jag was rubbish too. it was amazing seeing him put that on the front row in qualifying twice. he was (is) a master at the old 1 lap qualifying format. not many drivers are able to do that, go out there and put it all on the line for that 1 lap and be instantly on it.

the only decent car webber has had is the one he's in now and he managed 2 wins and a number of podiums and came 4th in the WDC to be beaten by only the 2 better cars (over the whole of the season) and his team-mate (not by much). he's proven he has the stuff. no doubt. go webber!

but he did win the WDC on luck. on that last lap it looked like massa had won it when he crossed the line. lewis then had some amazing "luck" and sealed it on the last corner of the last lap of the last race somehow. so his was basically a combination of luck, and the best car in the grid that year. sure he's not a hack, but he's not exactly an F1 superman in my books. he made so many rookie mistakes that year. in the car he had he should have one the championship by about 30 points not half a bees dick!

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

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      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
