Dont't know if its been mentioned here before, but I heard a disappointing rumour on Monday that TEN is moving F1 off the HD One channel and moving it back to chl 10 :( It will still be live but I'm pi$$ed that it won't be in HD.

Apparently now the packers have a stake they are moving all sport off of one to make foxtel the place to be for HD sport broadcast :rant:

Not that most of us seem to watch the One broadcast now, but what I said above seemed to be confirmed last night :( Pretty sure I caught one of the One team mention that the next race will be on channel 10 not OneHD.

The hosts must be frustrated as well. I mean the amount of breaks and rubbish they have to present. The are car nuts as well and bet their hands are tied. Its such a crock that they dont just do a 3min intro and then go to BBC or Sky coverage for the WHOLE event, pre and post race as well as practice and quali sessions. But Channel 10 are failing in all ratings and cant help but think a clown is calling the shots over there

I actually like watching most of it on OneHD, as it is HD.

Have skynet running, but big screen f1 is better than small screen better coverage.

I loved the fact DRS didn't really work here this year. We had a good old fashioned fair dinkum race, and it was a corker. Pretty much proves we don't need the artificial DRS passing to make F1 good.

I think the smart money is on Hamilton winning the WDC this year, even with the competitive nature of 5 or 6 teams the fact is Mclaren appear to be consistently faster, assuming Rosberg doesn't steal the show again...

i think button will be the more consistent of the 2 mclaren drivers this year. if hamo does happen to get a good run, i think he will fold under the pressure. that is assuming he doesn't find someone to replace massa as his dodgem car buddy.

Don't see Niko being too much of a wdc threat. Honestly, webber will be more of a feature this year, this years tyres seem to suit him much more than his teammate

yeah webber is adapting better.

the groups CFO must be devastated

that's equiv of police fining me 5¢ and no points for running red lights :laugh:

they probably just went and raided the ash tray of the transport truck to pay the fine.

Problem though - it wont be HD if it ends up on 10

God damn greedy media moguls, Australia ripped once again

    • Like a Stagea, but not as cool! Hope you have enough garage space for this, or is something going to leave to make way for it?
    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though
