Mysterious Swiss/Arab investors? Colin Kolles in charge?
Christian Albers????
Does he have a background in management?
Is Stoddart in there somewhere?
I like questions
Well, that is technically correct, but surely you overlooked the 'Being Dutch' penalty system???? It was communicated to everyone else. It would also put you in front of me and that wouldn't do at all.
I'm sure that you have heard of the English se…
Just going to update the results. As far as can be ascertained, Maldonado did not take the green flag, so is not classified as DNS by our rules. Had he stalled on the grid, or whilst starting from Pitlane, then he would have, but he did neither, so …
Good Grief!
I had not heard this until I looked at your post. I imagine it is on the news, but I haven't been out all day.
Very sad. Great competitor and opportunist. His feat will never be repeated, though it must be said that as far as building …
Just thought I would update the resuolts after what turned out to be a very high-scoring round, with many picking pole & top 3. In fact, Roo scored with the 3 point bonus for getting Vergne as first out, and a massive 16 points for the round.
H…
It's 20 years? Jeebers!
Well remembered and will not be forgotten. Great driver.
That clip just pisses me off though. Top driver working the gears and popping the clutch whilst constantly making wheel corrections for the power changes; that was p…
The advance in engine power required to catch up is probably not feasible in the space of this season. Merc showed their hand in Bahrain with the two boys fighting it out in the last 10 laps. They were 2.5 seconds quicker than anyone else.
We have …
And democracy kills yet another great idea. Point 4 was my favourite in the end.
From all of the above, we deduce that changes to be accepted are that the competition points scoring to be ammended thusly:
f. 1st car out after the race has started …
So, at this point;
- No support for roo's idea. Gone
- Point 1 either accepted, or have a wooden spoon (Australian for Last Place. The problem with last is that it only has 4 regular runners
- Point 2 accepted
- Point three more, or less acc…
Hey All.
Though we are mid-season so to speak, we need to make changes to the scoring system to make this thing a bit more relevant in the first instance (ie, best ex), and more contemporary (exciting) with the WDC championships scoring system in t…
Said meeting was indeed conducted last Wednesday at the Canberra Park Hyatt. We elected to eat in the Promenade Cafe, which was overpriced and underdone (cubed Wagyu beef roll more like a minute steak), but never-the-less a good, if brief, exchange …
When one lives in the epicentre of world politics and diplomacy, one becomes used to such things. The real question is Where for dinner; Aubergine? Rubicon? Soju Girl? Waters Edge? got to be a tough choice.
Not sure which one you have, but probably out of date. Here, use the work one, they've go a good firewall and can deal with the spam. Plus it's on their website anyway:

Classic? Veteran? Vintage? What's in a name?
According to various dictionary resources:
Veteran - Prior to 1919
Vintage - 1919 - 1930
Classic - More than 25 years
So classic spans a period of 59 years, but sadly the 2000 Formula One Grand Prix is…
Once again showing age, but in the seventies before catalytic converters and CPUs and who gives a toss what else, we just fitted one of these:
All hail the mighty Hot Dog! Turned any piece of shit into a farting monster!
One of these babies, an…
The Race
Watched it on TV. you have to say it was pretty interesting. With the cars being harder to drive it was clear that the drivers had to rely more on finesse and that was nowhere more noticable than in Magnussen's start. such a long long time …
The Belgian thing had a news cycle here of around three days.
Didn't seem to excite that much interest. There was of course some debate about the cognitive ability of young people to make these kinds of decisions, but it was not mainstream, so it f…
Had a read online. Well done. No bias or comment on a particularly touchy subject.
There are solid arguments on both sides, so it's not a tough one. At the end of the day though, governments legislating death is a big call. Whether it is the death …
And in the absence of news, some are starting to make their own up.
Hoping for a full recovery seems to be a forlorn one, I'm afraid.
The vehemence with which some journalists are objecting to the family refusing to provide updates is raising a tr…
