MONTREAL (Reuters) - A pair of Canadian radio comics, who once tricked singer Britney Spears into agreeing to sing "Let's Make a Hole in One" with Tiger Woods, added auto-racing supremo Bernie Ecclestone to their list of victims.

Fooled into believing he had been called by Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien on Monday, the head of Formula One Management said he wanted Canada to postpone its ban on tobacco advertising because it made it too difficult to stage a Canadian Grand Prix in 2004.

The prank call with Ecclestone, made by practical jokers Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel, was to be aired on Tuesday in its entirety by CKOI, a Montreal radio station.

Canada's Grand Prix organizers told reporters last week that Formula One had informed them that the Montreal race would have to be dropped next year because of the advertising ban, a major source of the sport's revenues.

The prank call also featured the false Chretien asking Ecclestone if there was any chance of him getting a job in Formula One Management after he retires from political life early next year.

"Maybe in North America or something, because we're not strong in North America," Ecclestone answered.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now.

      I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body

      Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
