So 31 or Cossie?

Just a light hit. Housemate took it to work and a guy he works with backed into it in a ute with tow bar. That combined with my sister vising from teh UK and taking the keys to it back with here etc etc it didnt see much use the last months of 2013. Keen to get the new gearbox, shocks, cradle, cront hubs...all new bushes and bearings etc all slapped under her. She should drive like new! And finally be able to look to start doing some track work when I get back from a holiday in June

So is Kanga/Fanvision TV still dead? Farking Bernie. Its not the same being at the GP without it and when going to OS races the girls at the stands were always to die for!

Hopefully getting the car back from the panel beaters next week. Cossie back on the road so all the parts sitting in the factory will now be going into the 32 for some much needed love.

Where are you located? If in Melb PM me and I will rebuild the calipers for you. If you bring the seals and dust boots it will cost you nothing and you get to watch so you know for next time

Whilst I am stoked for Williams I am gutted for Lotus and Romain. If things are as bad as they appear I can only hope that Boullier is in peoples ears over at McLaren and he could be in the frame for Buttons seat. This will be an interesting year for Button. Talented driver but I think he is the luckiest WDC in recent history and not worthy of a top 3 team seat. Like a girl who has agreat personality-UGLY, A driver who is smooth, conistant and easy on tyres = SH!TE! But worse than Lewis, Romain has a tendency to implode and a bad year at Lotus will see if his mental strength has improved

Well keen to see if Hamilton cane be a thinking driver/ History has shown he cant...Rosberg could easily have his measure as mentally think he runs circles around Lewis. Letsface it if Nicole is on her rags Hamo is a mess

I am expecting Seb to be frustrated but fine. How upset can he be after winning 4 straight. He will push the team but wrong if he cracks it at the team. And I am betting he will be ok...probably help his interest/motivation a tad

Anybody else see the quiz between Seb and Dan. Dan was asked if he knew what Multi 21 was. They laughed and said it needs to be Multi 31 now...Dan joked he wouldnt mind as Multi 31 would help him...Vettel laughed and under his breath joked would maybe have the same ending LOL...will be interesting watchng the both of them struggle with what appears like a bit of a dog of a car

Dont use short shifter for starters? Are you using one?

WRONG! The mocks ups looked rubbish compared to the traditional livery which thank god they went for. It didnt look bad but the berlow rendering looks nowehere near as good as what they went with

The first pic they released was Massa..he looked a little munted. Has the same hair loss issues I am facing

That is SICK....and disagree abut the shape. They just get away with the nose and the rest of the car is the best looing car this year....just pipping the RBR

FFS Bernie....way to go .... Baku?!?!?! I had to look it up!

Yep, you can http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kinugawa-Turbine-Housing-STD-TD06-T3-Flange-10cm-A-R-73-V-Band-External-Gate-/281259833264?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item417c6477b0#ht_1945wt_953

Some of the other mock ups that mimic the livery of old look even better as the car is predominantly white with just the colours as highlights. Hope that is the look they go for

I think I am going to put $15 each way on Massa and $10 on Bottas

Cant wait until they reveal their livery

With Daddy in jail Tamara could be on the hunt for a new sugar daddy

Anyone starting up an SAU tipping site. This year I am going to make myself put in tips... Also...I have been tellin gyour for monhts Williams are the dark horse this year. Think back to last change uin Regs...if they didnt have a green Rosberg and hack team mate they should have won a few GPs early in 2009 as like Brawn they had the double diffuser and were damn quick. They are looking strong and will be a top 4 team IMO

I am betting Kimi dropping it is seed 01 for Alonso to crack it....my team mate crashed the car and didnt pull his weight in developing the car pre-season

Well, will be interesting to see if the rookie will hand Button his ass with Mac looking like starting ecery GP from the front two rows. Rosberg vs Hamitlon will be very interesting....Looks like everyone else is nowhere pace and reliability wise Button is talking about it being a bloody solar economy run due to the 100L fuel limit. And then Kimi drops it and crashes because of the torque of the car. So definitely going to be plenty to look forward to for qualifying. Races likely to be a jok for the first 5-6 races with reliablilty and lack of any racing due to cars looking like running 6-8 laps of quali pace due to economy needed to finish the race. That is the one thing I hated about last year with tyres and no refuelling. An F1 car shouldnt be lapping 10seconds off its quali pace in a GP

Meh to anything 4wd with ABS if you want a track car....somethign to punt around and not actually racing. I am with evil and the likes of an MX5. You actually learn how to drive a car...not bludgeon pedals and saw at steering wheels. I also genuinely believe the interest of chasing tenths in driving holds your interest way longer than in something that is naturally far more consitant because it has ABS and awd meaning you dont have to be anywhere near as accurate or consistent when driving it But if you want a car that is numb then go the EVO5. Price is good, low weight. grunt from engines and loads of upgrade parts.
