I can imagine how that would go down.

Not reject, but my dad worked for Jean Alesi (yes, JEAN ALESI) in IndyCar at the Indy 500, and he got a signed pic for me It is awesome! No pics right now, but maybe later He even signed it "To William" (My name)

I can just imagine someone scanning these pages for a car to run in the BOSS series (if it's still alive) and opting for the Lola.
An irate BOSS team... er... boss wrote:So... you paid 150 grand for a car that can lap Albert Park at DNQ pace, and our rivals just paid 89 grand for an Arrows that's seven seconds faster round the same lap.
YOU'RE FIRED!

Nope, definitely UNofficial. Same for the Durex shirts:

Well i bought the shirt a few years ago by the online store from formule1.nl so it should be genuine. Still i don't feel my self wrong i bought the Pacific shirt
This is not reject merchandise, but it's still F1 merchandise.
I am selling some retro F1 gear, more specifically some 1990s Renault F1 caps. These are authentic & BNWT. They sell for £10 each on both eBay and Amazon, but I'll give them out for £5 each + P&P (whatever the postal company charges me, basically). I have two different styles - I have five in white and four in black.
Drop me a PM if you're interested in buying one or more!

(I realise this is technically spam. But please don't delete me, by offering them here, instead of directing you to an eBay listing, I don't have to pay any fees, and therefore I can charge less money, and don't have to rip off people I don't want to do such a thing to!)

Dammit, gotta collect it in person. I guess I could fly to Toronto for a car like this.
Quick, let Don Pentecost know! He can be the next Zoran Stepanovic!
Although, if I were a millionaire, I would make an offer myself...

Wow, that's the first time I've seen a pair up for sale. Imagine the fun you could have racing them with your friends.
Or here's a better idea. When Dr Baker eventually marries [insert name of significant female in motorsport] here, they can exchange Mastercard Lolas instead of wedding rings.

Oh man, if that were to ever happen... There is no emoticon to express how I would feel about that. This perhaps:

Couldn't believe my eyes when Christmas shopping today and had to join this forum to find like minded people to share it with! Hope Beretta gets some money from the makers of this toy for using his likeness. Only fair considering he probably paid a fair whack to drive that car in the first place.
But it did bring back some good memories. I went to the 1994 British Grand Prix with my dad when I was 13. On raceday I proudly wore a Larousse t-shirt that had I bought on the Saturday.

Thanks to you both. Good to be here. Although I spent ages trying to get the profile picture to the right size and right tone of reverence, I think I may have distrespected Sir Phillipe as I spelt his name wrong - should be "Phillippe" not "Phillipe"!! . I'll have to figure out how to change the user name!

In fact, the correct spelling would be PhilippeAdams. Enjoy your "new" username.

Phillipe Adams, the new HWNSNBM? What flaming fruit would he throw at us for getting his name wrong? Perhaps it should be HWNSBSC (His Whose Name Should Be Spelled Correctly).

Haha im just wondering bout people who want Ant Davidsons suit, theyd have to be about 10 to fit it.
When I'm older and may be able to afford one, I'd quite like a Pierluigi Martini racing suit from his Minardi days. Or Jean Alesi's Ferrari or Prost suits, those would be my definition of nice F1 merchandise.
