Roy is exactly right. DC is a great RACE driver, just too poor in quali. I too hope he gets the drive alongside webber, but it's looking a bit shaky. Williams are on a push to find the drivers of tomorrow, not those of yesterday. I think in reality they want someone young that Webber can groom for them, so that this 'second' driver can be world champ in a few years time. Pizzonia is a knob and I seriously think it would be a mistake to pick him as Webber team mate, especially with the unproffesional attituted he displayed towards his former team and team mate.

Anyway, who else is going to Melb F1? I've booked my Brabham grandstand tickets and accomodation and flights are all booked and paid for too. Now I've just got to fill in time between now and March...

All drooling aside- I hope DC gets a drive next season. It looks like he still might have a chance at one of the spots with Red Bull Racing?

Hey Richard, what have you organised for Melb? I am pushing to do the Grand Prix rally next year (if the GTR is back on the road). Failing that, I'm sure to be making my way down there anyway.

Personally, I think DC is a waste of space.

He comes out EVERY year saying, "I know I was crap last year, but this year will be my year", and never delivers. The only thing Coulthard is useful for is the experience, and Williams have enough of that already. Coulthard would be ideal for a team like Red Bull so he can pass on his knowledge of the tracks/setups etc before he retires in the not too distant future.

It really puzzles me as to who Williams are going to recruit as "driver 2" as there isn't much more talent out there. Heidfeld was thrown around before, but I'm guessing he's staying at Jordan since Briscoe didn't get the drive... Pizzonia is unprofessional as was said before, and Alex Davidson seems to get over looked every year.

Anyway, my 2c (at work and bored), but I look forward to next year and yes, I'm going to Melbourne too! Accomodation is booked, working on flights and tickets.

yeah what a hunk of man... mmm coulthard. (umm no.)

I've (well my gf did actually) booked some brabham grandstand tickets, flights (virgin) down from sydney on 3/3/05 and leaving melbs on 7/3/05. Staying in Carlton (stayed in city last year, but nice to be close to Lygon street where all the action is post Ferrari win)...

Last year I went with three mates but they are all too cheap to come this year (well ones in Japan) so this year I'm bringing my better half. Told her she needs to hear an F1 V10 at least once in her life before they change to V8s *sniff.

Yeah, you guys have to do the GP rally. only problem is duncans such a crap driver. maybe you and I should do it in duncans GTR (the rally that is)...

Richard

I thought JPM would have been more your type  :rant:

:uhh:  I'm not even going to touch that one

My girlfriend thinks wahn is the sh1t but less so after she gets five bucks on him every race, and I get five on schui. ha ha needless to say, I'm nicely cashed up at seasons end...

Kel, you have a dirty mind... reading something into everything. :)

Yeah, Roy has made noises about southern hospitality before, perhaps a dinner somewhere central one night is in order?

Richard

**/***-*** Lygon Street is THE Party Destination...ill be offended if your down and dont drop by:thumbsup:

Roy, I'll be offended if you don't let me sample your TDO6 sporting RB20 powered R32... :P:D

  • 2 weeks later...

Ummm I didn't have enough time to read whole thread.

Just saw an interview on RPM with Webber.

He's currently with Williams and they don't know who the team-mate will be and Jenson Button was a favourite cept it couldn't happen.

He's testing the car right now with Antonio.

-JJ

Didn't webber come across poorly in that interview this arvo....must have been a busy week or something.

Hey Roy, how'd JV go in those races...I've been a bit out of contact? He didn't show himself to be an overhyped talentless no-hoper did he?

LOL...that makes you the nominated driver of the booz bus and ensuring all the pi55 heads get home in 1 piece:)

woo hoo.. I mean d'oh. I don't know what I mean? so much conflict...

Duncan on webber interview:

I thought he was 'ok'. One thing was interesting was seeing how he twitched when the talk turned to pizza boy and who will be his teamate next year. and whislt fielding those questions he was blinking about 30 times a minute which is strange for someone who only blinks around 5 times a lap... :) He said: "i don't (blink) know who (blink, blink) my teamate will be next year (blink X 10)."

very funny.

yeah, oz GP will rock.

Richard

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
