So this is what becomes of all the nora neko (stay cats) roaming the streets of Tokyo.

I'm sure it's appropriate to post this in here...

I auto-x my Miata, but going to focus on tracking the 600RR.

F1 & GP2 was ridiculous this past wkend.

Get well soon to Tristan Lenski after his crash @ Assen.

Hopefully someone in here can comment on any of the above.

Better than ending up a la carte on a restaurant menu.

Just finished watching the race... Team orders are suckie.

Another crappy start by Vettel and it cost him. :shakehead:

Ferrari's been fined $100,000 and there could be more to come:http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/25072010/58/ferrari-fined-illegal-orders.html

Massa allowing Alonso to pass so blatantly was obvious to everyone, as were the radio communications for all to hear.

Part of the fine was probably for Ferrari being so stupidly indiscreet.

I saw this quote on a racing forum:

I think Vettel needs to learn the correct method for letting out the clutch off the line...What a dumbass...any 16 year old learning to drive a Ford Pinto, back in my day, could do that with more skill than this hack.

:hehe:
