Quote from hiroshima guy :

Yeah Veyron haven't set a lap in Dunsfold track! Top Gear just doesn't want that car to pwn every other cars and then future cars won't be able to beat it.

didnt they say that bugatti wouldnt let them do it, and if anyone had a veyron, would they lend it to them.

yeah, right.......ive got two sat on my driveway, want mine or the wifes?

Quote from Michael Denham :

Yeah, it would have been much more interesting if there were close battles between Hamilton and Alonso as well as Massa and Raikonnen, as well as a few others further back. Oh wait, that DID happen.

I don't know why it's so fashionable to knock F1, but I really enjoyed the race. And same with Hamilton. It's cool to say, 'well he's good but I dunno how good he is', 'he didn't really impress me', etc. Well, he's been on the podium in every race, for two races in a row he's started from pole and won, and in this last race he held off the 2-times world champion without too many problems. Sure, all drivers in F1 are pretty damn good to even get in F1, but a lot of others would have made mistakes in the same situation Hamilton was in. And for this to be a boring race, well what needs to happen to make it an interesting one? There was action all the way through the race, lots of passing.

Maybe saying all F1 races are boring and not impressive is a way of making oneself feel better than others, like they need an even better race than everyone else in order to enjoy it, in some elitist kind of way. Or perhaps F1 is just not their cup of tea and should try something else.

Viper, this whole post is not directed at you personally, just my general feelings on the topic...the only part that was directed at you was the first bit about the second half of the race.

with all of the above, i agree 100%


once again, lewis showed what a class RACER he is.

as they say in Father Ted..........."go on, my son!"

reel him in......................

i think we need a bigger boat.

Quote from diablo21 :

Alonso is clearly faster and more experienced, the championship has just started.. Don't get the hopes up with Hamilton..

I would like to see Hamilton drive a spyker, just like every other driver (or nearly) in the F1 grid, not start in McLaren, with the best F1 driver in active as your team mate.

why shouldnt lewis start in a mclaren. JV started in a williams in 1996, and that was the best car of the field.

methinks its because an englishman is beating one of your countrymen.

go lewis!!!!

Super Lesbian Erotica.

Sure, it makes no sense, but will you say that when the games have sold 1,000,001 copies? Bait and switch!

does it come with a supply of tissues?

Quote from Bean0 :

Years (and I mean years) ago, there was a piece on the Big Breakfast about shoes/boots you could buy that were made from the rubber of old F1 tyres, the sole and the upper.

They had a race around the garden, someone with ex-Michael Schumacher shoes v someone in ex-Damon Hill shoes.

Did the guy in the schumi shoes take out the guy in the hill shoes after he crashed?

sorry, couldnt resist that one.

IMO if after two weeks we had reached our limit, then after X amount of years of racing we would all either be very frustrated or world champs.

practice, practice,practice..........digest what you learn, then be prepared to learn some more.

racecraft isnt something that comes overnight.

hope i dont sound too Yoda-ish!!!

"No, there is another........."

correct me if im wrong, but last season alonso used the same car for all the races.
would a team really throw away wheel bolts after one use but keep bodywork, wheels, electrics etc?

this guy has all the common sense and facts of a washing machine.

nice.

thanks for the answers guys

Quote from alis :

recently bought a g25 but cant set it up to drive single seaters, none of the gears will engage, but fine in other cars. what am i doing wrong

i know this may be an age old question, but im thinking about changing my old MS FF wheel/logitech pedals combo.

either a g25 or DFP.

may i ask what you used before you got your G25?
was it worth the dosh?

cheers.

:iagree:

Quote from TiJay :

Hamilton could have won that race if Ron Dennis hadn't played it safe after 10 laps and had let Alonso and LH race each other.

Yes, it would have been risky and what he did is understandable, but 'playing it safe'=no fun to watch.

i understand you point of view 100%

my opinion is this........he is in the title race, both drivers and constructors, in some respects this is more important to him and the team than viewing figures.

as far as the race went......not exciting because of no overtaking, but the sheer skill of the drivers took my breath away.

as i understand it, both ferrari drivers stopped to read a small plaque.......

it read: "schumacher cheated here"

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Why are we still banging on about Schumacher? Are we saying Hamilton can't be considered a great driver until he makes a couple of attempts at knocking his championship rivals off the road in season finales? Or until he tries to secure pole in Monaco by parking his car at Rascasse?

Good riddance to the cheating ****.

just to stir it up even more............thisnameistaken, you have just become my favourite LFS user!

i bought the porsche nfs game.

beautiful to look at, but a tad arcady. was fun though.

I play bass. not that experienced (2 halfyears)

some mates from work play.......ray on drums- very experinced, was in a band in the 70's called jerusalem.

jerry on rhythm guitar and james on lead is joining us soon.

we will be on the lookout for a vocalist, and we play classic rock/punk/whateverwewannaplay with some new stuff thrown in, greenday,whitestripes.

we are called solstice.

Quote from amp88 :

@mr grady...pay attention, that's how you should put your thoughts forward, not just by asking a couple of questions.

I'll reply in full tomorrow

sorry, i didnt realise this was the high court m'lurd

Quote from amp88 :

in 2005 and 2006 Schumacher was beaten more by other cars and lack of reliability than he was other driver's talent.

so when he won, it was down to his skill, when he lost, it was the cars fault.

senna died at his peak...would ms have won so many races/championships if he hadnt crashed and died?

did ms win the last two world championships? i didn't see massa fight him for the title...it was alonso who beat him fair and square.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Sorry, but that three wide pass at Silverstone would have been slated if anyone but 'Britain's Golden Boy' had done it. Forcing two cars onto the grass at 170mph to get past is not something that 'top' drivers do.

i got to disagree with you BIGTIME

only one driver went on the grass (piquet jr i believe) and that was more his fault than hamiltons.

imo, that was a stunning overtaking move. a controlled pass with no contact.

i think lewis has done very well in his first four races. dont you have your teammate as a yardstick? suddenly alonso is overrated? well sorry mate, but he was the guy that beat schumacher into retirement.

Thanks for that Ian H

ive mailed you...

Heres my ride.

planning to replace the lens's with clear ones asap.

little off the top sir?

you betcha!

mobile bondage session session gets out of hand.

ive been visiting redline racing for quite a while now.
went onto the blackwood server tonight and joined midway through a six lapper.
had a good scrap with a much faster guy (no names) who set a sub 1.08 much to his delight.
this was nearly spoilt by the winner running the wrong way round the track.

when he was asked why he was doing it he replied: its ok, i wont hit you.

i argued that its a major distraction and was backed by mr hotlapper.

mr winner then stated that he was stoned.........to which i replied, as my blood boiled......to go f*ck off and get stoned offline.

this got me a one day ban - which i can live with.

but, whats worse?

my fowl mouth, caused by an idiot, or the idiot breaking server rules and possibly causing wrecks.

i for one am sick to death of halfwits either running the wrong way or crashing into you when their race is run.

one day ban.i couldnt give a f*ck.............ban the other fools as well then.

rant over.
