heres me..........been a loooooong day.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Button is just as good as Hamilton, i'd love to see what happens, if they switched teams.

as much as i love supporting the brits, i have to disagree wtih you.

lets see if alonso sits there for ten seconds at his pit-stop during the race..........

ive been a big alonso supporter, but that was disgusting.

Quote from Blackout :

What a gentleman.

How fast did it go?

i was told that they were restricted to 4000 rpm, and flat out was about 100 mph.........cant comfirm or deny this.

but........it did seem fast, but then ive only driven karts at 40 - 50 mph

if anyone has thought about doing a track day.......do it!!

if you love LFS, then a day on track will blow your socks off BIGTIME!

im just jealous of the few here who race for real, you guys are so lucky.

i put a lap on youtube..........hope you enjoy watching it, and the real racers here dont pick me to bits too much for my effort!!!!

i could only pass in certain areas, and was told to be polite, hence all the waving!!!!!

maybe he should take a leaf out of DC's books.

either you believe him or not, but DC says he is stil in F1 because he loves to race and i admire him for that.

for me JB blew it big time over the williams/bar contract issue. as someone was quoted saying: "after the dust settles, what team would offer jenson a contract and expect him to honour it?" if he is stuck at honda with a crap car he only has himself to blame......deal with it.

i feel for all of you who has lost or is losing someone dear.


i have someone work related who has cancer and it cuts me up to think what may happen to them........and as silly as it sounds, i recently lost our family pet, who was more like a friend than an animal............in a way, grief can be your friend.

death is part of who we are, but it doesnt make it any easier to cope with. enjoy the time you have together, and when that person is gone, never forget them.. enjoy your memories, talk about them......that way they have not left you totally.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Are you the guy with the light blue cabby? And it's got the black and chrome alloys? If that is you, you got a really nice car there mate

Are you putting your car up for show, or are you just gonna have a looky round?

yes it is me......and thanks for the comment.

tbh, its not good enough for showing, needs a tidy, so im just going for the looky......and if i can, the blast around the track.i heard it was twenty quid per car.
a mate of mine is going too, he has just got himself a rs cossie escort, methinks he may get there before me!!!!

i thought this was a thread about seeing who was going to silverstone?

i am. taking my xr3i cabby, what has just passed the MOT...total cost 42 notes. lovely jubley!

see you guys there.

very interesting race.

i cant hold with this "help me back on track" mindset..........if you have gone off and cant get going, then thats it.just my two cents.

close call for mclaren for releasing alonso, i hope the fia doesnt dock the driver points or whatever....he just responds to the lollypop man

lmao..didnt schummy have a face like a slapped arse when he gave RD the trophy! sore loser or what?

Quote from Racer Y :

I saw that video. Those guys definately got talent, but I think their calendar must be stuck or something.
Anyways, I was reading another thread about it raining in the UK, and thought gee it's like one big monsoon here so...

amazing!
thanks for posting.it was great to watch and listen to such a fantastic showman/guitarist while i was having my morning brew.

Quote from pb32000 :

Lol chill your buzz.

I don't have much appreciation for pointless videos posted on youtube, music or otherwise. What can I say though? Just work on getting it perfect I guess.

bit like your lap times? im faster than you, but i dont slag you for it, and if you dont like youtube......dont watch it.

chill yourself duuuuuuuuuude.

Quote from pb32000 :

Lol what's sad is that people can't even master what's possibly the easiest bassline ever written

Don't remember seeing this thread before - I've played guitar for over 10 years now, both classical and electric. Got my grade 8 classical when I was 14 but have sadly let that slip in recent years.

Just play casually with friends/housemates now, mostly ska punk. Going to try moving back to classical soon though as its something I really enjoyed, but didn't appreciate enough when I was younger.

what a kind person you are........i didnt realise you are lord of all on high and the greatest musician ever, go kiss my ass.

just posted on youtube

enjoy? lol

Quote from Becky Rose :

I dont know about most embarassing, there's been so many and my self defence mechanism helps me to forgt them... There's a story from recently though.

Before my last operation when I went to the hospital for the pre-op consultancy after arrival I went to the toilet. After standing up I thought i'd touch up the false face (do the makeup) and sat back down on the toilet with the seat down. Anyway at some point whilst in that toilet I sat on somebodies urine, and completely failed to realise not that I could do anything about it if I did.

Whilst in the waiting room I thought the person next to me smelt a bit of pee, then when I went into the consultancy room they asked me about any other problems I might have, such as incontinence. That's when I realised I could still smell pee.

Embrassed. Christ. I was glowing red.

big thankyou becky, that made me laugh so much!

heres mine.

20 odd years ago i was a glass cutter. i had made a glass table top for a customer. it was big and kidney shaped and being 6mm glass was quite heavy.
the customer, a lady, came to collect it. saw it, went "oh i cant lift that, would you put it in my car for me please?"

"no problem" was my reply.

she had a hatchback with the rear seats folded, but i had to get it in through the boot. im stood, legs spread, with this heavy peice of glass into my waist, bending into the car.

she is stood behind me...and due to the exertion, i let rip with a huge fart.

thinking quickly, i thought the best way to deal with it was to pretend it never happened.

it never did, did it???

what a wonderful story.

in a world full of death, destruction and sad stories, reading that restores my faith in humanity.

good on those guys who gave time and money to help rebuild the lotus.

nice one

ive grown loads of carnivorus plants in the past........gr8 fun

just remember, RAIN WATER only!
dont let it flower unless you want to grow more
cut away any dead parts and you will have a healthy plant for ages

id say you got away with it

lucky b*stard

Quote from sinkoman :

I think that people dislike Lewis mainly because he's started in an A class car. I know that's primarily the reason I dislike him.

I also dislike him because of all the media attention he's receiving, and while I do realize he can't really control them, he could be a bit more humble about it i'd say. They portray him as the second coming of Senna, and he really seems to just soak it all up and play the part.

He's a great sportsman when it comes to the tarmac, but he needs to lose this mental media stigma he's been carrying.

perhaps im being a tad cynical here, but if scott speed had been doing what lewis has been doing, on, and off track, i wonder if you would have posted that?

just something like this would be great.

top marks for your work!

could you do me a ford wheel please?

Quote from richo :

True,
One day us convicts must show our English masters how to ride MotoGp and SBK and most every other class we we enter into

All that aside God Bless Barry Sheene, he showed that the English can be cool and ride a bike

ps: Leave Webber out of this

i hate webber i hate webber i hate webber i hate webber
i hate webber
i hate webber


sorry, just my sense of humour

:iagree:

(except the kimi bit.sorry, just not a ferrari fan)

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!"
