Quote from Forbin :

I fail to see your logic, Maelstrom. Why does it matter if a group of people resist assimilation into the local culture? If you moved to another country and were told you couldn't walk around in public in jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers because it was offensive the natives and/or illegal, what would you do/say?

In some countries that is the case, well not exactly jeans and a t-shirt but certain western fashions would get you in trouble, it'd be nice to see some tolerance on both sides.

To be fair, he hasn't started yet. :hide:

What do you get when you cross a Bulldog with a Shih-Tzu?




A dog.

The loss of liberty incurred by any alternative principle is too high a price to pay to stop people making dicks of themselves. But, if people are using their freedoms to make dicks of themselves, other people should be able to say so.

Spot on really, I'm sick of people harping on about how you have no right to take away their 'freedoms' just because you disagree with the way they do things. If essentially you're saying I should not be allowed to criticise you, then isn't that violating my 'freedoms'?

You need to be lucky, and this is why discrediting successful drivers because of their luck is pointless.

Quote from JO53PHS :

Far too hot..

10 degrees is ideal for me - inside keeps at just the right temperature, and then you get a nice refreshing chill when you go outside. Lovely.

The north wind doth blow, and we shall have snow?

Alonso was certainly smart enough to realise that in the pouring rain the best grip is about as far off the racing line as possible, allowing him to catapault around the outside of everyone at turn 5. Some good racecraft as well, lesser drivers would've hit eachother in those first few corners. Despite his questionable behavior you can't deny he sure can drive a car, seems to be the story for a lot of up and coming top level drivers lately.

That race he did a very agressive brake test on a slower driver for holding him up, I think it was Christian Klien, and he got a telling off for it if I remember correctly, perhaps the first signs of Alonso's true character coming through back then.

His time at Mclaren did change him, he took a turn for the worse when he realised he could be beaten.

EDIT: It was Doornbos, and it was in free practice...

He really had it in for the 2nd Red Bull car that year, no matter who was driving it.

Yeahhh I know, but when you look at them as being BMWs and not Minis then they're actually pretty good cars.

Quote from spookthehamster :

Watch the IRC, night stages and the Monte Carlo.

Perhaps I should, and I hear Brits Kris Meeke and Guy Wilks are up the front too, I've been following it in the magazines but not on TV.

Still unless IRC can really grow to replace WRC then WRC really needs to improve.

Just for the record, the Mini Countryman goes back a bit further than that.



Good really to see manufacturer interest in WRC still, now bring back night stages...

Interesting use of a pool tabe.

Jesus I just read up about this, just when you think FIA or FIFA officials are inept, IndyCar have taken it to a new level.

With our Met Office its safe to assume that the exact opposite of what they forecast will occur.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Yes, not everyone can be as successful as I am. It has taken many years of careful training and ignorance to cold, hard facts to get on my level.

Everybody needs a hobby I suppose.

Do as I say, not as I do.

You know you haven't got much going in life when you can't even internet troll properly.

You forgot ugly too..

I sure hope nobody involved is an epileptic.

Lovely, I knew you would figure out something just to make difference between the two cases. I'm tired of this already, no reason to continue posting here. I'm out. illepall

:wave2:

I don't remember anyone saying it was fine when Mclaren did it, some members need to stop crying like 8 year olds, just because your darling Alonso does it dosen't mean you should too.

No doubt there is some serious wrist slapping going on as we type.

Theres no point trying to reason with him.

Quote from el pibe :

that sounds like a hotlapper's moan after he crashed into a '' n00b '' during a race because '' i was f4st3r let me through! ''

Exactly, such a shit attitude.

Alonso shows himself to be another prima donna expecting everyone to give him the easy ride based on his out of date reputation, him and Hamilton are just as bad as eachother.

Being fastest is not the only deciding factor in a race, or at least it shouldn't be. 'Let me past I'm faster than you' is not a valid excuse.

As trolls go you're a dissapointing one.

Sorry you're too much of a wanker to pass up.

Well tell me whats wrong with having a bit of discussion? I didn't know you had the final say on what people can and can't talk about on this forum?
