Re: Team Lotus? Lotus Racing? err, who knows..

Methinks this will be decided by the (not so) simple expedient of who has the most powerful friends in Malaysia - Lotus Group (Petronas) vs T Fernandes (Air Asia + pretty decent set of contacts).

Pretty unexciting in my book.

Re: Watch lovers?

I like this Citizen one - cheap enough not to worry about it too much and no more batteries :D They do a metal strap version as well.

Re: FRENCH FROLIC 10 - 21/8 to 28/8

Can we stop talking about costs here - I've been trying to avoid adding this up for years now :shock: :thumbsup

Worth every penny though :D

Re: Rubber marks

Sounds like you've done enough - let the pros do the work from here :thumbsup

edit to add - says the man who stopped off at the local car wash specialists on the way home from Frolic.

Re: Sebastien Loeb.

Loeb is great, but I wouldnt sit in a forest for hours to watch him. IMO this is the stuff of legends... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R7ws741KpE&feature=related The bit where he goes through the gate just after sliding over a cattle grid whilst basically at top speed is really, really cool :D It...

Re: F1

Funny enough, an interview with the team Sky boss ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/ju ... our-france ) makes a similar point about doing things the right way in sport.

Re: F1

I like Joe Saward's take on this http://joesaward.wordpress.com/ . Main point being that if F1 is a business then it is about making your customers (aka fans) feel better about the brand, not sure that Ferrari did that at the weekend. A case of understanding that just winning isn't enough. Then agai...

Re: Elise Trophy Brands Hatch GP

Lap 6 my tyres are gone. I drift the entire way round paddock, and end up in the gravel, but recover it well, and get straight back out. However, that bit of idiocy has just cost me 2 places. Apparently there was some applause in the box when i saved it! The move was appreciated at the top of Paddo...

I don't have an Elise and I'm not Scottish

Met a good number of you on Frolic before. Its been suggested by a few of you (OK mainly the existing Kentish members - Ed / Tom that's you) that this is the place for me as I don't have an Elise and I'm not from Scotland. Looking forward to seeing if Andy had the cam running when he kindly showed m...
