maryportfuncity 10,461 Posted May 25, 2014 Hot Tip: Maria Teresa de Filippis, the first female F1 driver is, according to sources, "not at all well". No link, you will have to take insider knowledge for whatever it is worth and whatever "not well" specifically means Cheers OoO, and whilst we're on the subject of venerable speed merchants, how's the irrepressable Norman Dewis? Incredibly well. Just flown to the US again and looked very well last time I saw him in March. Cheers, I'll avoid picking him for anything, then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,788 Posted May 28, 2014 I know many motorcyclists who are by far safer drivers than those who drive cars. Inundated with the cunts just now. Ugly long haired, broken nosed, covered in tats and stinking of petunia. And the blokes are worse. Cuntos see single track roads and let rip. Deserve everything they get, and it is a joy to see them cruise up in the mirrors and ''edge'' out. Single files in groups of 20 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!! I don't think ugly, long haired, broken nosed, tattooed cuntos would stink of petunia. Patchouli, maybe. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lady Grendel 139 Posted May 31, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk...otland-27651504 Rally cancelled after 'serious crash' The Jim Clark Rally in the Scottish Borders has been cancelled with immediate effect, Police Scotland have said. Feeling pretty stunned at this news. I usually go and stay with friends to watch the rally as it goes right past their house, I couldn't attend this year but had hoped to wander down to Kelso Town Square this evening to see the podium finish.It's usually a really good event and well marshalled, the safety precautions in place are normally excellent, I hate to think what went wrong. The speed these cars go at is incredible and I would imagine that anyone in the direct line had no chance. There has been a great buzz about the town the last few days, lots of rally cars and support vehicles around and people just enjoying themselves, tonight there is a very subdued feeling and the town is empty. So very sad :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,788 Posted June 5, 2014 And another... http://www.bbc.co.uk...of-man-27684730 This guy, Karl Harris, has had some spills down the years. Just watched two major ones on YouTube that he was very lucky to survive. My betrothed once bumped into him in the paddock at Thruxton before a superbike race, he wished him good luck in the race, and in response Harris threw him a filthy look and flipped him the bird. So even though it is a shame he died, we think he was an asshole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted June 9, 2014 Late last night the Micheal Schumacher thread on Autosport was "closed" with the following posting... "This thread is for news about Michael Schumacher's medical condition, to follow his recovery, and for people to wish well etc. It's quite sad that it has become sidetracked because someone wanted to vent about something. If someone has some news - genuine news about Schumacher's recovery or condition - please PM one of us and this thread can be reopened." In truth, few people understand what, if any, recovery is happening but for sure the curtains are well drawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,270 Posted June 9, 2014 RA, I take it you saw Dr. Gary Hartstein posted another pessimistic blog about it last week. I couldn't be arsed to post it here. For those who didn't see, he said if Schumacher had actually made any progress they would have told us, and basically told Schumi fans to prepare for the worst.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted June 9, 2014 I did. Six months in a coma. Now twice as likely to die in the next six months than stay in a vegetive state let alone make any meaningful recovery. Very sad that Rik Mayall died today. He suffered a five day coma drama and in truth was never quite the same after it. So many people need medical care all round the world, but I ask, why expend this level of support on one person who on the face of it has no meaningful chance of recovery or any benefit from what appears to be a slim minimal life struggling even for a breath?.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted June 11, 2014 This rumour really should be in crashing companies, but I'll stick it in hear for the hell of it. Lots of tweets flying about that Tony Fernandez has pulled the plug on the Caterham F1 team and they currently won't be going to the Austrian GP in 8 days time. Silly price tag on the team is said to be 350 million of some major currency. Offer him that in Yen and I don't think he would refuse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Soz I reallllly can't be bothered to look on Wikipedia) I think I saw rumours at the beginning of the season that more than one team could possibly go bust before the year is out. And there's also been word in recent years that Ecclestone himself is or was propping up some of the teams(!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
