  1. Quick stat. The 2011 Chinese GP featured the most on-track overtakes (85) of any Grand Prix in history.
  2. Phew, finally managed to get on.
  3. TBH, because they'll fake up a service history anyway it makes next to no difference to them. They will often (but not always) use its lack of FSH to beat down the PX price but that depends largely on how much net there is in the one you're buying from them in the first place.
  4. The guy who used to deliver my bread was called Mr. Teacher.
  5. ..... That they pass around between them during the match.
  6. Update for you all. He's sleeping a lot, naturally, but he was brought out of the induced coma yesterday and has received family and friends to visit. He's been moving his hand gently and the docs say it has a good blood supply and no signs of infection. They're hopeful that he will recover but only time will tell. He's awaiting further surgeries on his shoulder, leg and elbow, all of which suffered compound fractures and he's aware of the gravity of the situation and has vowed to fight his way back to fitness. As for driver news, there really isn't any yet. Bruno and Vitaly will be in the car at the Jerez test and anything else you may read is just rumour. There are many reports on the web with the above news but I thought I'd just summarise it for you.
  7. We're the one sponsored by Lotus Cars, rather than the one owned by some random who bought the rights to a name that hadn't been used for nearly 20 years.
  8. Blocking non-members would make f-all difference FWIW. And I'm saying that with my all-new "as fu**ed off as everyone else" hat on.
  9. Yeah. What exactly are we paying for here?
  10. Unless it's under 40mm long.
  11. Unhook the fuel line at the rail and aim it into a container. Switch on the ignition and "Hey Presto!" fuel all over the floor and a probable air lock in the system, stopping it from starting again without bleeding the system. You never know your luck though, it might just work. HTH
  12. The exhaust are gone altogether on the 3D video on their site although they appear on the stills. I'd guess they're mock-ups and would say that they certainly haven't revealed much with the launch car (which is pretty normal). I'm certain there are a few revelations to come.
  13. Got the Sony 370. Excellent bit of kit with all the internet TV features of the PS3. I'll stick with the Xbox for gaming.
  14. That was to Hypo, btw.
  15. And you surmised that from one, maybe two, posts on this thread?
  16. Rapidly? Jeeez.
  17. Ooh, someone's found another button.

    Things I've done in the past 3 months or so.
  19. Yeah, yeah, but what's your opinion of me, Dune?
  20. Yeah, share the hate.
  21. Nah, my post count is so low nowadays that I realise I was actually stuck here before, out of some messed up sense of duty, but not any more.
  22. Besides, my opinion counts for sh*t nowadays and I like it that way.
  23. This is all sorts of mental. That's what it is.
  24. I doubt it will be long before people are looking back fondly at Legard, just like they were 6 months after James Allen stopped doing it.
