  1. Must say I am surprised with Q results. I too missed it, just got back from Port Julia!!!
  2. I thought they looked pretty ordinary too at first, by P2 I started to warm to them! Imagine.... pulling 200+ Mph down the front straight at Monza whilst tweaking the wing setting with steering wheel controls, might take them some getting used to me thinks... cool nonetheless.
  3. Watched most of it too, good to feed the addiction!!! Good to see the cars get out of shape with reduced downforce too. Surprising times from some teams, interesting to know who were doing race simulations on full tanks and which were still doing setup and tyre comparisons on lighter fuel loads..... all will be revealed when they qualify.
  4. Forgot to mention the completely sik R33 in a car yard (heading city bound) it's on your right before you get past the Highlander hotel. Can't miss it, it's at the front of the yard.... another thread that talked about commo spec chromies just reminded me!!!
  5. LOL! That's not about the most stupid thing I've read all day.... that is the most stupid thing I've read all day.
  6. Spotted may today.... Black 33 Reservoir rd around 11am, then a Black Gtr 33 on Ne Rd two minutes later amny other 32's 33's and a white 4 door 34. Also spotted 2 silver stagea's and not the same car one being on Grand jumction rd around 5:15pm Most notable today would have been a really nice red Stagea on Henley Beach Rd around 4pm
  7. I agree, I just wanted to sugar coat it a little. I think anyone (not singling Mark out here) in sport that's shoots their mouth off without so much as even a win to their name is a toss. Win GP's first then let that speak for itself.....
  8. If anyone is bored enough.... 2008/9 white pages, go to page 977 - 3rd column - 7th name dowm Funny funny!
  9. Drivers do sometimes break cars. Probably not always the case with Mark but yes he has had many many DNF's!
  10. Remember Michael himself, Jean Todt and Rory Burn had something to do with this also
  11. I'm going to be surprised if that late winter testing form Brawn GP showed translates to the top of the time sheets on streets of Melbourne....
  12. 1. Get rid of the neons 2. Turbo back exhaust
  13. http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/newshome/5090611 LOL!
  14. Should be good, most teams have got it sorted already too so should see it in use this weekend
  15. Have you seen an '09 F1 car? Like going back 15 years.....!
  16. ?? Traction control is gone, all teams are using a 'controlled' ECU where tc can't be hidden in software now. Launch control is also gone. As far as I know driver releases own clutch and determines revs via way of the old fashioned right foot. I'm 99.9% sure that auto shift is gone too and they're back to semi auto where the driver has to at least shift up/down and they might have pre programmed gear selectors for certain corners like they had 3-4 years ago. Aero regulations have been changed this year to make passing 'easier'.... a car following another closely will supposedly no longer have such an aero disadvantage because the car in front isn't going to be disturbing the air as much as before making their front/rear wings still work to a certain degree. Should allow for cars to follow each other more closely Tyres are full slick again, but this is kind of pointless because they've been made narrower. Tyre surface area is probably the same as when they were using grooved tyres. Introduction this year of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) Totally agree about Webber, I'm really surprised he still has had a seat in F1 for this long already! He's a complete knob
  17. Forza Ferrari, I've been addicted to F1 since the first time I laid eyes on them here in Adelaide in 1985 The points system hasn't been altered yet, looks like happening next year. Will be interesting to see Brawn GP's pace this weekend and no doubt a massive row and protests over the rear diffusers.
  18. spotted many last night but most notable would have been the yellow Stagea on NE Rd Klemzig around 6pm driven by a female Also an absolute hottie drivng a fiesta distracting me as she flicked her hair around with her hand every time I peeked in the rear view mirror....!
  19. Yes that's the one. Still pretty annoyed at sellers who don't respond to PM's.... seriously WTF!!!
  20. either or! I don't want to hijack thread, but I'm almost certain I get better milage (30-50Kms per tank more) from V Power than I do from Ultimate 98.
  21. Pure Gold!
  22. OMFG..... Ferrari Garage! Are you serious!!!!! I'd give my left nut to get into the Ferrari F1 garage... (goes away to sob quietly)
  23. No worries
