Galois

He's right, that quote is nuts. more than a fresh paint job on another gtr I'm guessing. Steve-o that's a pretty epic trip. How long did it take?

Interesting article, some more qualified views than ours on the controversy too. bbc.co.uk/blogs/andrewbenson/2011/09/post_2.html

That sucks mate, good luck in your search. Keep us posted with what you end up doing.

Just in case it was mistaken, I wasn't being serious lol. Shipping is the cheap way. But why a car on the other side of the country? It couldn't get much further away? It might even be cheaper to import?

Old charlie might have had a quiet word to brawn before those msgs were broadcast, who knows. People seem to be coming round to the idea that Vettel is going to be a great driver, but I just can't see it at the moment. He's consistent, has a team built around him and has webber's bad luck to make him look good. But can he be that much better behind the wheel to wrap up the title with what, 5 races to go? Doubt it. It's going to be another case like schumacher, he had the best team, and the best car, a team-mate who couldn't compete, and no small amount of talent, and the luck/ability to bend the rules to the point that most that remember him remember the driver and the controversy. And that combination lead to great success, but total dominance made it boring for a few years there. Hope we're not seeing the same with vettel. I'd much rather regular rule changes fking with the engineers and mixing things up than an established winner year after year.

Cheers mate, glad it's all sorted. Hopefully will see you soon, there's something coming up this months or next I think? I never remember these things lol. So the car parked outside your place? Pretty surprising, it's a fairly good area that one (though I did just move from jesmond to live in liverpool for 6 months)

As above mate, it might not push start if the immobiliser has locked the ignition. Just make sure you get the terminals right when you jump it. I'd come round to help but we're in syd full time now, don't even have the jesmond place now. Push starting in general is fine though, the transmission and engine get a far harder bashing when driving the car. Glad there was no damage!

Bahahahaha

Even the commentators are saying vettel's finger has to go

Why are you going all the way to perth for the car? Surely there must be something suitable closer? COuld always fly over and road trip back, google maps says it's only a 43hr drive

Poor rosberg, would have been good to see where he ended up, instead schumacher had his best race and rosberg got smashed. That's racing I guess. WHen was the last time 5 world champions finished in the first 5 places?

So... interesting championship race for 2nd

YoYo's guy? Bahahahahahahahahahaha What type of v8?

I didn't even know that (unfortunately haven't been on a track day yet). Why is that? Something getting too hot?

Bahaha, hopefully he points his car at vettels again, might shake vettel into a mistake

^Chick in a sports car, you must get a fair bit of attention though. Ever been given any numbers or is that too fast and the furious? Clarkson also said, about his gallardo, he had to sell it because every yobbo in a peugeot tried to drag him lol.

Can't wait for the race, every time hamilton lines up next to vettel, vettel must be wetting himself

Idiocracy, that's what I was talking about. It's set to happen

Newcastle cbd is PACKED with drunks through all ages all friday and saturday night. I've driven in and left my car for a few hours a few times, but not sure if I'd leave it there overnight. There's a reason clubs in newcastle can't sell jagerbombs or shots, have a lock-in and a curfew, the alcohol fueled violence late at night in town can get pretty bad. Newcastle is not big though, you could stay in another suburb/hotel if you wanted to and still get around the next day.

... wasn't there a movie about that?

I'm a little confused by the description mate, and think that it would greatly help you to read a fair bit of this thread (at least the last 5-10 pages), then see if the problems you describe are similar to those others have had fixed.

Haha that is very true. Even racing karts, between rebuilds of engines many many tenths can be lost.

What a dumbshit, hope the police catch him and give him the raping he deserves. What if he'd hit some poor kid? Good to see he didn't hit you, that's where I thought this story was going.

I enjoy reading the news, just saying. If I read more interesting articles maybe I'd post more of them haha

I'd be going for motul 8100 xcess or xmax in it for $75, esp if you're going for bigger kw and tune etc... Also some people are running syn-x (or something, read last few pages) with some success.
