Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

If you want a collectors item, buy the real thing, a replica has little to no resale value unless you find another idiot who is stupid enough to buy one.

£4k for the normal one and £15k for the Monaco one, I dont think so lol.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

As much as I hate to agree, Tristan's right.

RS50s have a top speed of 30mph, when it's restricted -which you'll have to, so it may actually be faster to take the bus!

It will also almost certainly seize up and will cost a fortune to run in oil alone!

(And just buy a normal helmet, rep helmets are for fast riders, the kind that rock up on a Gixer thou with chewed up tyres.)

You look after one it will be fine, regular oil change and that and it will be fine, it will only be used to go to mates houses and school. And it wont be full throttled until it is warmed up

I wouldn't use it that much, will mainly be a collectors item, I will be getting a shoei for my day to day helmet.

Quote from tristancliffe :

An RS50 is a moped. A moped with a bodykit. I used to have one. I recently lived down the shame.

No, the GP5 is not road legal in the UK.

They actually class a RS50 as a sportsbike not a moped/scooter. There is nothing wrong with a RS50 if you treat them right and so on, it is better then the bus.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Proof?

Stand in a city near a road. Look at the driver of cars with heavy bass. Almost without exception they will be in a car worth £5, have greasy hair stuck to their foreheads (or a baseball cap), and quite possibly a Burberry bodykit. In other words they will be a chav. Another sure sign is a "<local town> cruize" sticker somewhere on the car. Guaranteed low IQ.

And chavs (by evidence of their lack of brain) never make good drivers (or cyclists). Ever.

Not always, you dont have know decent proof or evidence that has been carried out so I am not taking no notice. I have seen a guy in Plymouth who had a car with loud bass with his business advertised over the car and he was also in a suit, not a chav in my eyes lol.

Quote from tristancliffe :

That GP5 is not a road helmet. And getting it airbrushed will probably cost over £500!! And using a replica helmet on a moped makes you look like a chav.

Not really, might look alright on a yellow rs50 which isn't a moped. You could still use it as a road helmet though, couldn't you.

Quote from Shotglass :

yeah you dont but as a general rule the louder the bass you hear from another car is the more rubbish the driver will be

Can you prove that?

I bought it in a Kartshop, 370€

Btw, this is a brushed/stickered one. A Replica helmet would be WAYYY MORE expensive

ok, I have seen some good ones around but I need to find a shop that sell the helmets that can also be used on road. I did find this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lewis-Ha ... &_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 but the colours on it are wrong, the part above the visor is blue when it is meant to be green. It is also expensive. I Cant find one, I might get a plain one and when I have the money I might get it sprayed in the design of LH's helmet.

Quote from robt :

theres a few mint ones of them, all about 7k+ though!
dont really fancy a heavy, low powered fuel drinking engine. prefer a rover V8, same weight as my 2.0 but double the power

I didn't think about the good old rover v8

Cant you get hold of the 3litre engine for the Capri, I would put that in if you could. I wonder if there are any mint condition 3 litre Capri's still around.

Quote :

just need someone with the know-how.

Why dont you try having ago yourself first.

Quote from tinvek :

don't think mass'a engineer will help his confidence with what he said about why the mclaren was faster than the ferrari

on the lines of " was the car faster or the driver ?"

I also read the article, what he said about Hamilton may be the fastest deffently wont help Massa's confidence.

Quote :

but you also have to say is the McLaren the fastest car, or is Lewis just the quickest driver?

Sorry about double post.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Well I watched the race twice, Hamilton just got the job done and didn't make any mistakes, he didn't put in a special performance. Alonso had to battle for position early on, and had to push for most of the race to keep ahead of a faster car.

Ok fair point but, the battle between Alonso and Heikki was good but look at it this way, who would of came out in front if it was Hamilton and Alonso, I say this because HK and LH is in the same car but look at the difference in how fast LH is in the Mclaren and how fast HK is in the Mclaren, there is a big difference. LH is a lot quicker in the Mclaren then HK.

Would this go on the itouch? If so I will deffently use it so I dont have to use Safari.

Quote from JJ72 :

put hami in the renault and alonso in the mclaren...you'll see the difference.

Are you saying Lewis is in the fastest car or are you saying Alonso is the fastest driver.

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

driver of the day for me is Alonso.

How? He didn't exactly do anything special did he. Driver of the day for me is Hamilton as he didn't make one mistake and has been quick all weekend and just drove brilliantly.

Note: I haven't said this just because I am a Hamilton fan

If anyone on here has ever bought a replica helmet could you tell me where you got it. I want a Hamilton replica helmet, well design as it needs to have the road safety features. I am wanting to save up for one, for when I get my RS.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I'd quite like to see him win it this year, but I'd also like him to lose just because I'm sick of your posts in GP threads.

Ok, so you want him to lose because of my posts, makes sense. Why dont you add me to your ignore list, then you wont have to read them.

Quote from Becky Rose :

It's has been done before but it was way back when, I forget the details but James "I'm gonna love you and hug you and call you Lewis" Allen eluded to somebody during our coverage, unfortunately I was half asleep by then.

/Fixed

Quote from aoun :

All Lewis needs is 6th or higher.

I know, but I think he will win.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

The benefit is that Massa always seems to be good at Brazil, so maybe it could be a great ace for the championship.....doubt it though

Massa could win the race but might not win the championship as I dont see Hamilton finishing any lower then 5th, I think it will either be:
1st - Hamilton
2nd - Massa

Or

1st - Massa
2nd - Hamilton

But who knows, we will have to wait and see. But, if Hamilton drives like he did today at Brazil I think he will win the race and the title.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

To be honest neither of them deserve the championship, if the Renault and BMW were more competitive then it would have been a 4 horse race.

As it it's Lewis as done better than Massa this season when the 2 cars were matched, the rest of the time the Ferrari has been lacking in speed, grip, control and fuel rigs. I can't help but think we are starting to see the Ferrari's lose ground and move backwards down the grid. It happens every now and then (see Williams) I just hope Renault and BMW can step up.

It would be weird to see Ferrari's down the grid, wouldn't it. If Hamilton wins the WDC this year he will make history as being the youngest F1 Champion, he is still learning as we can tell but once he has got better with handling pressure and stop making mistakes, I reckon he will be a very good driver/champion. LH didn't seem to show no pressure this weekend where as you could see it with Massa, wonder what will happen in Brazil? Hamilton for the win!!!

Quote from Hyperactive :

Just because Masaa had one bad race it doesn't mean he's not worthy. Why should Louis win either? He can't even stop at the end of the pit straight without hitting red cars

Look at the whole season, not just the few laps when he wasn't at his best.

Massa cant even handle a car very well in wet races, he was spinning like mad at Silverstone this year whilst Hamilton drove brilliantly. Yes, Hamilton did crash in the pit which was stupid but Massa doesn't seem to be able to win unless he is on the front row.

Showtek - FTS and a few other various music/artists

It also seems that Massa cant win a race if he isn't on the front row, which shown today. I also think that the pressure is getting to Massa more than it's getting to Hamilton, LH looked confident and relaxed this weekend where as the look on Massa's face was totally different, he didn't look so relaxed and confident.

Massa couldn't even catch Kimi when he was slowing down for him, he had to slow down early on the straight so Massa could get past. I dont think Massa deserves the title this year, Hamilton deserves it!
