Sorry im getting confused with the ccr < even more angry! (something silly like 800hp and getting close to 1000Nm of talk i think) but it has heaps of stuff TCS, ABS, Servo assisted brakes, AIRBAGS. I dont really know anything about the ccx to tell you truth, but its a car designed for the mass market (??) so im guessing it will be toned down if anything.

Ah top gear, by far the best show on tv - by far.

Oh and Drunken Monkey go wash your mouth out

Jeremy Clarkson is the man, just check the initials

Pre rear wing yes. Anyway JC has admitted many times that he can't drive. In the original Top Gear it was Tiff Needle (an acomplished racer) who was the 'driver'.

I wasn't impressed with Senna either,if another driver (usually Prost) didn't give way when he decided it was his corner and no one elses,he'd take them out.He was the first of the win at all cost no sportsmanship drivers.A great driver for sure,but like Schumacher,a lot of hollow victories.

But at least Senna and Prost fought tooth and nail against each other,in the same team,with no team orders and no quarter given.It's a pity Schumacher wouldn't let another driver of eaqual talent into the team.It appears with Kimi signing a contract a year ago....and then not so long ago having talks with Renault - that the deal hinged around him having equal statis in the team.MS would either have to drive next to Kimi in the same car with no team tactics....or leave Ferrari.

Here's and interesting quote from Alonso....

quote:Michael is the man with the most sanctions and the most unsporting driver in the history of Formula One," added the Spaniard, who despite his criticism admitted that racing against the Ferrari driver had been an honour.

Sour grapes?

Just about every driver in F1 says the same thing,he's not a safe guy to be close to on the track.Schumacher is going to be remembered alright - but not in a good light.

Possibly not, but I'd rather be a driver that wins the championship racing against him, than the driver that wins it after he retires
