Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / October 200453 posts - down to 6/WTF?
Is there that much bloody sh.t pouring into Usenet these days? I start up the 'ol browser after three or four days of not being there, and the news reader says 53 posts, then when it actually loads headers I get 6. I check Google, that's all there truly are. 1. WTF is going on? I want to say my newsreader is doing a great job clearing out the spammies, but then how come 2 of the 6 that *do* get through are entitled "Monica Lewinsky bl.wj.b pics" and "This will cheer you up -"? I never did get around to loading Agent ... one of these days when I'm not so busy ... 2. That is all you guys had to say after all these days? What about the Suzuka race? (that I slept through, then through the replay - not one of my shining wonderful weekends ... all I could do is weakly look up from the pillow, wipe away the drool, and chirp "yeah! Michael" then back to sleepy-time) >2. That is all you guys had to say after all these days? What about >the Suzuka race?

Not only did Schumacher and his Ferrari lead from flag to flag, but he wasn't passed for the lead even when pitting _3_ times for fuel. There were NO lead changes whatsoever. No dry practice, no Saturday practice, mostly wet same day qualifying sessions: And Ferrari and Schumacher deliver an almost perfect race: Pole, P1, and the win, with Rubens taking fastest lap. ...Staggering. Imagine, if they *hadn't* stopped developing the car several races ago... (Rubens being Coultharded while charging through the pack was all too predictable.) >>2.

I watched the typhoon coverage/non-qualifying, and the race-day qualifying, religiously ... then the torpor came, and I succumbed just in time for race time. I saw the start, then went swimming ... it was all very sucko. I wish I hadn't. I'll go to the amphetamines for Adelaide if I have to.

Next, and last, race is Brazil, Oct. 24: Should be around 11am-ish for you West Coast types, a late-morning cappuccino should do it. ...I'm not sure if Rubens has ever *finished* his home race, it might be too much to hope for a win. And then, yesterday: "Ahead of the last Grand Prix, which is Barrichello's home race, Schumacher is frequently asked whether he will help his team mate to victory in Brazil. 'Rubens is a very talented driver and has demonstrated this over the course of this year and last. I am sure that he would prefer to win alone rather than receive anybodys help. Each of us will run our own race and well see how it turns out.'" - www.f1-live.com "I am sure that he would prefer to win alone rather than receive anybodys help." ...Is this Schmuck suddenly on drugs? > ...10:30pm?

Well .... it's the English version, innit? Then again, "peckish" might have drinking involved in it. I don't drink any more, so I wouldn't know such terms. MC SignatureYou raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me Peckish means hungry. For food. Not sex, drugs, booze etc. You COULD say you were peckish for a beer and a bl.wj.b, but that would be taking it out of the common useage. >> I would say peevish, but your point is well made. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > MC >2.

Besides - I most wanted to read your most excellent recap anyway! MC SignatureAnd if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon <<That is all you guys had to say after all these days? What about the Suzuka race?>> My cable went out and I couldn't watch the race. Speaking of races... the last World Challenge race of the season will be live on SPEED this Sunday at 1pm EST. I seriously doubt you'll see my car at any time, but it should be an interesting race anyway. C. > <<That is all you guys had to say after all these days?

You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me <<I'll be watching. I should've been there.>> Oops! That's 1 pm PST, not Eastern. The Touring Car race is on at 10 am , I believe. BTW, I knocked 2 seconds off my time from yesterday. Today, I did not suck! Yay, me! <g> C. > <<I'll be watching. I should've been there.>> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > C. Hmmmm ... I saw your car once, and it looked like your best lap time was only about 3 1/2 seconds off the leaders. Derek Bell sure didn't have a great day ... or Andy Pilgrim, putting one of the CTSVs into the wall. I could have sworn I saw that there were a couple of Porsche 928s entered? Was that a typo? I never saw one on the track. Those are old cars, they can still hang in a race like that? MC SignatureYou raise the blade, you make the change You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane. You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me <<Hmmmm ... I saw your car once, and it looked like your best lap time was only about 3 1/2 seconds off the leaders.>> Not quite. Pole was a 1:31and I qualified at a 1:37.4. My best time during the race was a 1:38. <<Derek Bell sure didn't have a great day ...>> I was directly behind him on the grid. I've got video of him running over that Corvette. <<I could have sworn I saw that there were a couple of Porsche 928s entered? Was that a typo? I never saw one on the track. Those are old cars, they can still hang in a race like that?>> One of them can. Mark Anderson's car ran a :35.38 in qualifying. Mark Kibort only managed a :41.25. Not sure if Anderson is running nitrous or something in his car, but it scoots for a 10 yr old + Porch. They're both nice guys who live in between Laguna and Sears Pt. Those are the only two races that they run and they just come out to World Challenge for the fun of it. C.
