it's just that with the cousin hookups, i could easily void all the warranties right after the break in period... i'd just have to rent a car to use, he gets sponsors and manufacturers to donate parts for testing, he installs them, dynos and posts the write ups, and i get a 200hp S back in 2 weeks.

Wow.

He's really close to overtaking Alonso in the points... With three races to go. :sweat:

And Kubica is in the points with an amazing podium finish for BMW-Sauber. :woot:

[image][/list:u] I don't know if I will, I still remember what he did to Villeneuve at Jerez, Ayrton will always be #1 for me.

I will not miss him at all, bye bye Schumi.

LOL. Or this year at Monaco.

Same here.

To be fair though, Senna has had his lapses, particularly with Prost... ;)
