lol, leave the polish alone brisby. we don't have much to cheer about!

yeah DRS at the exit of radillion will mean some nice overtaking into les combes...

not sure it matters having the DRS detection before eau rouge as they are flat from la source all the way to eau rouge, up the hill and out the other side at radillon and all the way to les combes. so no one is passing anyone into eau rogue or through eau rogue for that matter unless we are talking RBR on a 2002 minardi...

kubica has more scheduled surgery this month, so he probably won't be back this year.

i'm in good spirits about spa, with all the updates the teams are bringing it will be good.

I sincerely doubt Kubica will ever be back. It's very rare for a driver to come back after such a severe injury, or to be competitive if he does. I genuinely hope I'm wrong, I like him, but I'll believe it when I see it.

its held every year. they invite drivers from various disciplines - rally, F1, touring cars etc to compete on a mickey-mouse indoor track like a scaled down WRC Super special stage with various buggies and weird open wheelers like KTM X-bow.

What does Aus have to do to get an invite, with Dan and Webz would be good to see them fly the colours....though with the likes of Power, Briscoe etc seems odd we dont get to run....years ago Ireland got a spot ffs

Oh, and IMO Spa doesnt need DRS. They are such long straights that if your tyres are two laps older I think they are going to struggle to defend position into Les Combes and after the blast up through Blanchimont and into the chicane, hell if Baron can overtake GT3s in a lowly Exige at that part of the track then maybe Vettel can do it this year without punting someone :)

the guy that plays "McDreamy" on greys anatomy races in the american le mans series.

did remind me of when back in the day (mid to late 90's) one of the f1 teams (can't remember which) let mick doohen have a run in one of their cars. pretty sure that his top speed at the speed trap end of the straight was faster than the regular drivers. have to see if i can find the article in the magazine.

Tom Cruise - producer and star of mission impossible gp - which opens on December 21, took a break from post-production work to accept an invitation to test drive the Red Bull Racing Formula One car in Southern California on Monday, August 15. David Coulthard, a 13-time grand prix winner and former Red Bull Racing driver, served as Cruise’s instructor for the day with support from a 12-person crew, who flew in from Milton Keynes.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
