what a great drive.

also.

good thing these low noses have stopped cars from unnecessary flipping each other

this.

How the fcuk is Maldonado allowed to be here

It cant just be the money

and this.

and...watching the mercs run each other was good.

actually, seeing all the teams run against themselves was pretty good to see.

Mercs must be $1.01 to win WDC and WCC by now.

so maldanado now has a 5 grid penalty and 3 penalty points....

i understand the risk in pit lane for injury is higher for the workers having only helmets and also other members without....

and the safety of the cars is great, but i think dan getting 10 grid penalty and maldo only getting 5 is wrong

...but it did. When Dan pulled a nice move on Vettel then resisted Vettels attempts to get backl past whilst Dan was trying to get the job done on Hulk just in front of him. There was probably less than 2m between each of the three cars in breaking areas!

Ah ok. Will have a look when I get home.

Anyone know why the race wasnt on One last night?

So happy to start reading apologies from those saying Dan was the cop=out option for a safe no.2

ok, I'll admit it - Dan is a dangerous number 2! He very nearly ballsed it all up outbraking himself behind Kimi, locking it all up in a desperado up the inside... As the commentators said, good thing it was Kimi on the outside - the master of staying out of trouble. Otherwise it may well have ended as ingloriously as Maldonardo's little incident. :P

But he's driving very well otherwise. I'm impressed and surprised.

That was a great race!

Cost cutting could bring us this gem.

I think that was the messiest move I have seen him do in the 3 years he has been in F1. Not a bad record, espeically when in the move on Kimi you cant help but think with his fresh tyres and pace part of the problem was just how slow Kimi was when he arrived at corner entry and Kimi was still there.

It appears Vettel's car hasnt been running in the sweet spot that Dan's car has so will be interesting mid season when the cars are free of those little dramas that rob one or the other of those tenths lap after lap how they go.

So far was impressed by Vettels maturity in letting Dan pass when ordered to. Actually was shocked he moved out of the way within a few corners

Everyone is saying it was a good race (i just finished my sky sports download) and honestly the safety car really saved it imo

its still a Merc white wash of a season much like ferrari and the early to mid 2000's. The battle at teh end was stellar though but without the safety car I think it would of been another dud bar a few small highlights.. Also perez is such a wank, doesnt fit in at all! I loved watching the merc boys shut him out whenever he tried to talk

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
