whoa! where did YOU come from???

McConville knws as much about f1 as my pubic hairs do. At least with woods and cromley, there was the certified expert and the dimwit but with those two, its both knobhead knowitall central... why cant they bring Jones back into the fold. At least he KNOWS f1 and has won a championship..the rest can only pretend to know really...

im on the case.

by the way, individual trips on the subway are inexpensive anyway so dont worry. Besides, most of Japan can be covered ABOVE ground easily, so you wont really need to venture under. have a safe trip. Adam

as far as i know, that pass covers only the JR lines and is NOT usable for the subway. a simple google search with the words like "JR rail pass subway" came up with the answer withing 10 seconds. ofcourse, we are here to help but you can help yourself too! enjoy your trip. Hiroshima was an awesome experience...Kyoto maybe even more so!

18's for sure.

i disagree.

or WRX drivers for that matter...

cuppla days maik! You must be con the fruiterer!

this is now completely ridiculous... who the hell do they think we are? monkeys?

we are talking about a clutch pedal...not a model T ford.

wait a sec. its not about having a slower or faster car. At least not for me anyway. Im a purist... is that OK with you? soon you guys will be saying " i applaud the use of automatic driver assistance everything...all i have to do is sit there. its the way of the future..."

right! flat shift the bastard.

drifters drive without power steering all the time here in japan . It increases the feel, not using a condom has the same effect.

dont ever consider yourself a driver if you cant do it. you seem to think DSG is going to take over the world. driving a car is all about how involved you are. You advocating the DSG, not lamenting the loss of manual shifting shows me you may not care about being as involved as you can...

Lock me down scottie! Why cant we all just get along? :)

thats a pretty funny comment considering the R35 will be bigger than a dodge viper...

back on topic, even if this is garbage, its significant garbage... Mercedes ready to axe Alonso` Thursday 18th October 2007 Play Jenson's SEIKO Challenge Take part and you could win a superb SEIKO watch. ENTER NOW! Media speculation suggests that McLaren and its partners have decided to part company with Fernando Alonso. The Spanish daily Marca reports Meredes-Benz's management held a meeting this week and gave the double World Champion a vote of no confidence. '[Mercedes] reached the conclusion it is in the best interests of the company and the team to let go of the Spaniard at the end of the year,' the Marca's report reads. 'This situation means that all roads for Alonso lead to Renault,' it continued. Alonso's relations with the Woking constructor have soured through the season. And the newspaper claims sources close to McLaren say Ron Dennis' relationship with Lewis Hamilton is, as most F1 fans are aware, the root of the problem. It also suggested that Renault had 'promised him a place with the possibility of winning the title and is currently taking steps to find the funds necessary to sign him on a contract equivalent' to his current deal. The French marque appears to be Alonso's most likely destination as rivals Ferrari have Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa contracted until 2009 and 2010 respectively.

excuse me?? the Mclaren f1 ring a bell? designed by Gordon Murray, Mercedes engineering, BMW engine. What about the mac SLR? Have you ever heard of the Guigarro designed NAZCA??? hmmmm..not "supercar" enough for you? maybe not. ever play need for speed on the PS1? that car is featured along with...AHEM, lamborghinis... while we are on the subject of bulls..not only was your post a load of one, Lambo never got their footing in the sport and the best thing they could manage was to put a V12 anchor in the back of a Minardi...It was a miserable failure. If we are to take the approach of some who say the f1 one car is indicative and directly related to the quality of the road car then going by Lambo's pathetic attempts in f1 all their cars should be shit...and they were, despite the murderous tendencies of the beautiful Miura and the lesbian body builder on its rags, Countage. Only when Audi bought the arm has Lambo been revived...but thats a separate issue. Sorry if im coming across as a scathing prick..im tired, its been a long day and i dont feel like putting up with nonsensical mumbo jumbo

Thats the best inside scoop yet. Damn what an article. It stripped the 911 by 2 seconds and that, in slightly damp conditions! i loved the way the designer referred to it as a robot and that it was never meant to be beautiful but original and unique! Btw i will be at the unveiling ( i live in tokyo ) so that will definitely be a buzz to remember...and sure to be busy as hell...

ill see what i can dig up...

thats horseshit. sorry mate, it really is. BMW scared the shit out of everyone including gerhard berger with a 1000 HP 4 cylinder handgrenade in the 80s. That block was straight from my old E21 i had years ago. after finding out about that i was tempted ( motormechanic at the time ) to see how much i could squeeze out of it. BMW have always been good. thats why the M3 shit on every other sports car for years on end. It looks like its just about to take another dump too...direct comparison to the new GTR anyone?? The 2002 in the 70"s was a purists driving car and is still highly desirable. It wasnt an alfa that would rust itself to shit. It wasnt a Fiat where tony would have to fix it again every week. It wasnt a temperamental redhead looking for a one night stand and being colder than ice in the morning. It wasnt a snobby german in the black suit who thought he epitomized an automotive deity. The 3.0CSL was another example. The M1 was a revolutionary breakthrough. The M5 was a ballbreaking bullet capable of getting the wife to the shops and back in warp speed. The current version has a V10 with technology sourced directly from their racing genepool. The M6 took it up another notch with a shape to make you cream. The only mistake they made in my opinion was hiring chris bangle..and the other being not replacing him sooner...

what??? what is the 430 then?? you think they drag schumi around just for the hell of it or do you really believe these cars arent created from the same genepool? its nonsense to think its not. When Robert smashed the shit out of himself in canada and WALKED away, i almost got up right then and there to go and buy myself a BMW...

bloody hell...do i need a pilots license to use this machine?? the centre console is overkill... i cant think of any porsche that has that many switches..?!

hey russ, to me, it doesnt matter where you finish. as long as you do, youve done more than most. now, thats not to say you cant achieve more!! the most important thing for me, personally, is that you are coming out here with the team and that fine machine you have built and are going to show everyone what it can do. im proud of you just for that if it counts for anything...and thats before it even turns a wheel in anger... lap times are important. More important is the fact that you were here and were granted an opportunity to mix it with the best on their own turf and can no doubt hold your head up high. Thats priceless my friend. ill be there with bells on. You can count on it. Adam
