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!

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.

      No. Only for a standard ECU with/without Nistune. Standalone has no need for it. That's like the 3rd time I've said so.   And as to that sensor linked - yes, it does look like it would be the right one. I've never bothered to see how available they were - just assumed that they'd be hard to find. I think I'd be planning to go Link ECU rather than buy sensors I don't actually want to make Nistune work, if I did not already have Nistune. As you do not already have Nistune, you should realy consider your options.
