So this year could be Montoya's last realistic chance to be F1 world champion. He's already comitted to McLarren for 2005-6 and going on current performance, he's got no chance at all with them. He could just fade away at a lesser team and never drive for a top team again.

Webber on the other hand - all the talk seems to be not about if he's going to win the championship, but who he's going to win it for!

In 10 years time... Montoya who??

Montoya is a driver who just goes out there and drives the wheels off the car not knowing much about the car and pulls some awesome stunts in the cars.

Webber on the other hand might not be so outrages in the car but consistant and slowly progressin, but personally i dunno if he will win a F1 Championship.

:D

Youre basing McLarens performance on one race! haha........ if you want to do that then Michael or Rubens have already won in 04! In which case Montoya has no chance this year also :) Realisticly Williams Renault and McLaren will catch up to Ferrari this year maybe not in maylasia but surely when they head back to Europe. Remember Melbourne 98 McLaren also lapped the whole field winning by over a minute Ferrari caught up and challenged for the championship and only just lost. And on Webber he has a good of a chance as Montoya of winning a championship. hes a smart and fast driver which is what Schummy is all about!! Also Montoya at Mac will have to deal with Kimi :) who is a faster driver.

hahaha. It may seem as though everyone in oz is talking up Webber a bit much but reading overseas websites and also hearing from aussies overseas the guy is touted as a future superstar even overseas. I even saw an interview where MS was asked if he was worried about the up and comers montoya,alonso and kimi he said " you forgot one; Webber"

I remember seeing an interview about Senna many years ago. The guys they interviewed said, senna was the sort of racer that hated loosing full stop "especially to prost". If he wasn't going to win a race, he'd either try to run first place off the road, or retire himself out of the race. Montoya sort of reminds me alot of Senna, he's driving style is agressive, and he sooks if he loses. Though not my favourite of drivers, as long as Montoya's racing makes for good viewing.

I agree, Its only australian media that make it out that hes the next world champion. There are shitloads better drivers then him, namely Alonso!

Also Montoya is a good driver, but stupid. Mick said it perfectly after the race. He makes one stupid move, and his race is over. Hes done it over and over again. Dont forget guys Montoya has only ever won 1 race. Hes not that good.

Death Race 2000 - clearly the best car movie of all time. I've got it on DVD. The best scene is when David Carradine beats the crap out of Sylvester Stallone. Oh man, I'm going straight home and watching it for the 57th time tonight!

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
