Here are some pics of Clay....... he was a class act...... again, this is so sad

In The Nostalgia Forum on Atlas, someone said that they believe that Clay and Vittorio Brambilla are now reminicing over a bottle of Chianti........... that is a most beautiful thought........

ciao

Mechanic: So yeah... I mean that's part of what we do, we design competitive racing cars, that's our passion. We like a challenge, I mean, no doubt that this year's been incredibly tough for most of us, but, I guess, Jenson's win has given us this extra boost to be even more successful next year and do Honda proud

日本の女はびにゅがありますから、 :D

I just finally drove the newly releases FJ Cruiser. I've been watching for 2 years and waiting. It's got 239 bhp. nic elow end torque. from a dead stop I was at 60 on an up hill on ramp in very quick fashion. I was suprised at the low wind noise from the straight up windshield. Overall handling was good. I had a bit of crosswind that moved me a bit at 85mph but seemd to have good steering stability. (I didn't want to get too much over the speed limit with the salesman right next to me! Loved the spot lights in the mirrors. The model I drove did not have a the adjustable spot but what a cool idea. The A pillar, which I thought would limit my vision was barely noticable. Plenty of headroom, more shoulder area than in the Tacoma I got. Very good vision in the rear view mirror and nice wind evacuation of the rear window. Good ground clearance but I would want the ARB front bumper as opposed to the plastic crap on the front end right now...( lots of deer here in Pennsylvania when they are rutting and they tend to run tampantly accross the interstate) the ground clearance it great. I was suprised that the turning radius specs (41') are more than my double cab tacoma (39')in the spec sheet but that can't be right 'cause I backed it out of a tiny lit spot with a van parked perpendicular to the rear of the vehicle. (you gotta jump out and check out how wide the front tires sswing) I LIKED the backup sensors! Wish it had a bit more pockets and storage but the MP3 connection is cool. Wondering if they are going to a have a moon roof option. I'm about ready to drop $600 in a new fuel pump and timing belt and, well, maybe I can convince the wife. I was impressed! Thougth I would share.
after I get this as the new work truck maybe I can work on getting my better hald convinced that the Lotus WILL BE a great investment! yea yeam that's it. it's and INVESTMENT honey.

I suspect Alonso to be heavy on fuel and M$ as well!!!!
Btw, From TOMS:

Europe G.P. - Qualifying
ON THE RIGHT TRACK
NURBURGRING, GERMANY, May 28, 2005
The opening day of the European Grand Prix weekend at the Nurburgring did not run as smoothly as Minardi F1 Team personnel might have hoped, but a significant overnight effort by technicians and mechanics most definitely put the situation back on track today. Christijan Albers and Patrick Friesacher both enjoyed trouble-free practice sessions on Saturday, before consolidating the progress made with solid performances in the afternoon qualifying session. Both drivers were at something of a disadvantage in qualifying, as their cars were carrying heavy fuel loads, but nonetheless, a smooth lap from Friesacher saw him “splitting” the two Jordan entries on the timing screens, while Albers completed his run less than three-tenths of a second off the pace of his team mate.
PATRICK FRIESACHER
Position: 18
Time: 1 min 35.954 secs Chassis: PS05/02
“Generally, I was quite happy with my lap. We were struggling a little bit this morning with one or two small problems on the car, but we made some changes, which enabled me to find a good balance. I think we’re in a good position for tomorrow’s race”.
CHRISTIJAN ALBERS
Position: 20
Time: 1 min 36.239 secs Chassis: PS05/01
“The fuel load we were carrying this afternoon meant the car had a little bit more understeer than I would have liked for the qualifying run. As a result, I ran wide in one spot and lost a little bit of time there. Even so, it was not a bad run, and I think we have a good strategy for tomorrow. We should have a good pace in the race”.

New rear wing. Notice the 'dished' main element.

I am amazed that no tobacco company is sponsoring Minardi.
PS is THE ideal marketing tool for them !!!:P

New picture, new winglet!

The team also took the opportunity to evaluate a modified front wing configuration in the course of the two sessions.        
 

This front wing looks like the one used on the PS02 :o
