Right, yes 6 1/10ths... Gee, i wonder where it went? Alonso:

"Asked if a podium finish would be possible this season, the double World Champion said: "That is impossible because we would need to gain a second and that just isn't there - that level of improvement doesn't exist." What a bloody ingrate. Wasn't this primadonna saying only a few races ago that he brought over a second to the McLaren team in his skill alone? Someone in the paddock is deluded.

Will do, cheers for the info.

lol, Ivan i got Marco covered. Copy link from video, hit the little video button above where im writing this and paste the video link between the flags. Bobs your uncle

Dont blame Nissan for car prices, look to the government. In any case, there will be plenty of people that will kill for an R35, local or grey...no matter the "poison"

Thats hilarious. Dont listen to the idiot. If I, for example, bring one in under the personal import scheme having owned it in Japan for a year and they try to tell me they wont service it, they'll know the meaning of what "sparks flying" was all about. Ive driven this car. A friend of mine here in Tokyo owns one and has let me drive it on a number of occasions. Its stunning. Pure and simple and he has said on a couple of occasions that he is growing weary of its, how should i say, inflexibility as a comfy daily that hes thinking of trading in for a new merc... If he is in a position to let the car go around this time next year and im cashed up, well....you know. Maybe, just maybe, that R35 plate i asked the old man to reserve will be put to good use after all.

Okay...now im really confused... You can add a warranty to my privately imported Evo wagon? I pay $795 and im covered to a certain degree by your company? *edit* I need to add ( ask ) that i will be bringing this car in as a personal import, i.e, owned and driven in Japan for a year and then exported into oz... Is this possible..for example do you have a place in Sydney or Adelaide that can cover it?

Shh!!! He'll need more of ze punsihment if you keep up wiz zat!

Mika Hakkinen: Amiable, lovable, stick it to the reaper Finn, who spent ages in the Botanic gardens in Adelaide recuperating in 1995. One of Adelaide's most notorious ( partially ) long term residents ( whoops..thats 2 )

LoL!

That was an amazing conference. It staggered me that he announced it just after securing the win and then significantly, he "placed" the "crown" on PM's head, with KR sitting right there on the right. We all know the outcome of 2007 but i think PM isnt done. Not with that kind of endorsement behind him. Ironically, that P.C had a ferrari in the middle, a Mac on the right and a BMW on the left....spooky. Ive seen that exact seating arrangement so many time in the past...

Michael Schumacher He was a tour de force - a 7 times WDC that epitomized German precision with the inevitable emotional heartache. Your turn.

Lol, i know Shaun, you've said it 3 times in you're avatar already! What is best for Newey is best for RBR. You know?

LOL!, Good decision, James!

Totally. Almost as much as when he won that day his mom died. MS is definitely one of the greatest drivers ever and im glad to have met him and to have been old enough to appreciate his career. The guard has changed now and i feel we are little worse off without those characters in our lives. Sappy, perhaps but those of us that know, know.

I feel differently Shaun. RBR need him in the same way Honda need RB and FI need MG. This year will be good, they are solid midfield and they will only get better with the team they have. Im sad because DC is the last of the "old school" brigade we all grew to love and respect.

Ivan youre right, Monza 2000. I miss the good old days... This was the most amazing conference ever...ill never forget that interview...

I have R35 in SA Anyone interested?

1.Agree. 2.Agree 3.Disagree. Why? I know he still has it. It was "happening" ages ago. He strangled pace out of the cat for 2 years and unfortunately political maneuvering got him a "going downhill before we go uphill" Williams, instead of the potential Championship winning seat next to Alonso at Renault. Remember, both drivers are managed by Briatore so there is way more going on there than what you perceive as going over the hill. he will assume head mantle at Red Bull when DC retires at the end of this year and next years car will be much stronger than this years what with Newey, Willis, Horner, Webber and crew to get it there. You'll see.

That was fantastic. Pure and simple and i couldnt agree more..except... Yes, Senna was prodigious throughout his career and especially in his early years with Lotus and Toleman. He was a master in the wet, only rivaled for skill by MS himself. Undoubtedly, there have been times when inferior machinery was made to look better than it was because of the hands steering it but one thing i want to add to that is this... Just because Lewis Hamilton had been handed the keys to one of the most competitive cars on the grid in his first year in F1, doesn't mean it detracts from any of the awesome skill we all know he naturally possesses. Going by your argument Marco, you would have it that he start in Webber's shoes, in a Minardi much like Alonso or like Massa and Raikkonnen in a Sauber. Yes, prove his worth before being able to "rightfully" take those keys but you're forgetting one important point. Ron Dennis is no fool. Ron Dennis knows F1 drivers. He knows when he sees something special and Lewis Hamilton is no different ( Bloody hell, im starting to sound like James Allen here... ) Ron Dennis has had the Creme de la Creme of drivers in his 20 something years in F1, modern day names like Senna, Prost and Hakkinen and yet, he invested HEAVILY in the career of a youngster that hadn't even hit 10 years of age, a young kid that knew even at that age, where he wanted to be and what he wanted to be doing. Before we get further into this discussion, we need to give credit to a guy that saw this as early as he did and took care of the person in question. That speaks volumes for me and its nice to know a driver is being looked after, really looked after and not dumped by the wayside like so many names we care to mention when things aren't going so well or when the coffers run dry. Just look at the way poor Fisi was left out with the garbage by Renault only to be thrown a lifeline by F.I. Wow, now that i think about it i could run that list into the hundreds. Its no surprise then that RD had no qualms about letting an F1 champion "go", as you would have it, because RD and MB have invested so much time in the development of LH with the absolutely clear and rational expectation that LH will be champion in the future soon anyway. LH was only 1 point, 1 POINT away from realizing this and repaying the many years of faith that RD and MB had correctly placed in him. Not a bad achievement, really. Honestly, we need to look in FA's direction to ask why and how he couldn't have known this. BMW were similarly ruthless when they axed JV at the end of 2006 but i don't see anyone crying over that spilled milk. Hamilton does have that "steely" edge you speak of Marco. He always has and that's why RD has invested in him the way he has. I see no problem with this and who are we to say that Ron Dennis doesn't know what he's doing?

Just incase anyone of us forgot the most monumental crash we have ever witnessed a modern day F1 driver walk away from... awesomely done in 3D

Oh come on. Button at Williams? Dont try and tell me he didnt have a chance to get right up there. I still remember that n00b maneuver in Germany i think it was, behind the safety car? lol, amusing.

Great, cheers for clearing that up, Sewid. Having a bad day?

I was told Nissan will transfer warranties? Was i being told porkie pies? edit
