Hmmm....soft isnt the word i would use. No overtaking move in F1 is soft. A little too easy is the way i would put it... In the end it doesnt matter. My boy came through again under pressure and the tallboy i smashed as they sprayed the champers was just as sweet id have to say.

Thats exactly what some would have wanted. That way they may have taken each other out and the McLaren haters would be happy. Meh...what else is new? ...haterz are always the same.

Hater.

BAM! 10 more points in the hole. Yeeeeeaaaaah baby!

LOOOOOOWIS!!!!1!11!! cop THAT you haters. Yeah. Some one on here was saying LH cant overtake. Whatchu think about that?! *does a funky dance and a jig*

+1

and $50 for a tape>?? As in a VHS tape??

Hmm... Better hope your mate doesnt read this...

Ive also driven the Sti - Optioned with the a few different things here in Tokyo. I own an Sti Forester so i wanted to compare horses with horses... I really liked it and i disagree with some of O.P's comments. Owning an Sti is very different to owning a Skyline - different animals. Especially when youre comparing a 12 year old R33 to a brand new, technically laden WRX. The SI drive was interesting and although a little gimmicky, its really only throttle and engine mapping - It has fly by wire throttle and only 4 settings. Economy, Normal, Sport and Sport # In economy it really does feel like its having trouble breathing - lacking any urge. It was in this mode that the guy from Subaru placed it in and i wasnt aware of it so as i was driving i was thinking - what is wrong with this thing? It wasnt until i tried the Sport setting that things changed and i mean drastically. It picked up so much more urge and around 3,500 rpm started pulling very hard losing a little steam towards 8000 rpm. It really came across as a little feral. The Forester is a 2.5 and achieves peak power at 6500rpm and peak torque even as low as 5800rpm. Theres no need to visit the 7000rpm limit because of the extra grunt and taller gearing. The WRX on the other hand was peakier, called to be revved harder and in turn felt more involving but a little raspy and manic. It also sounded really good in the upper part of the rev range. In Sport# it was even better - the engine and throttle mapping giving the engine its richest mixture and you certainly can notice it, power wise. Price wise, the base grade WRX is around 32k in Japan and with all the fruit including the recaros which are a 4k option and the navigation system which is another 2k, youre up around the 43k mark..which by the sounds of it is much better value here than there.

Yeah i was referring to both of you actually. Youve both been very helpful. Its not every day we get a thread on paint care...

Well its just feckin kids isnt it?

nah , soorry Roy, i was just speculating. But its a possibility.

Fark, i wonder how the two of them are going to get along... Fuji for example and then England... Vettel seems to have been involved in one too many RBR prangs, lol.

Well, its confirmed. The Vette is going to RBR. Bruno Senna to get the STR seat.

And that line about Webbo not being able to crack the big one in no way points to anything impotence related.

This is true. I shouldnt have made a direct comparison with Alonso but youve got to admit, Webber has never really quite looked like he was going to crack the big one... Its a shame really and Im not sure if we should be completely looking forward to the Vette / Webbo clash because the Vette might put him into a perpetual retirement...

None of that matters apart from the massive jaw. What else has Webbo been through in the cockpit..? Didnt he dehydrate or something when the drink failed like a dozen times? Imagine having to drink hot piss when your at 300kph... Fark me i cant even imagine how he managed to get that far into Fuji with a mouthful of spew... how the hell do you chunder and do 300kph???? Webber = champion. But i dont think a better car will make much difference though Richo.

H.O.L.Y #"$T

Thats the thing about Kimi - he doesnt give a toss about those things... Cant blame a driver who does, but Kimi definitely couldnt care less and it shows.

You dont see Alonso throwing the car away so often even when the Renault is an utter dog to get moving... Webber is good...i cant help but feel hes not WDC good. He has never really proved he can race for position as he very often gets overtaken when the pressures on. Hes a bit like Trulli used to be when he was taking a nap in the middle stint. Webber is though by far and away the toughest mo fo on the grid - spew in the helmet and 3rd degree burns on the ass are all testament to that. Aussie grit at its best.

Hes Got a WDC and to me that seems to have satisfied him enough. A second WDC would just be an added bonus.

The one thing that i like about Kimi is that he can cut the sport off regardless off the trappings and the money. He truly doesnt give shit and im not going to hate on him if he decides to leave - Hes always been above the sport in that regard and thats pretty admirable. The fame hasnt gotten to him one bit.

Look, im just not convinced by NPKJR. If it wasnt for Renaults stupid decision to fuel Gonzo light, he would have finished way ahead of PK. Look at the quali results. PK is getting absolutely caned and hasnt really shown racecraft worthy of that seat. He has tested well, but look at how hes choking in the race seat. His dad he certainly is not. But yeah its great to get some famous names in the sport - a rite of passage surely if you have Shcumacher, Pique, Senna or Rosberg as a family name...

Cant say the same for Pique.. *shows P-junior the door*
