I hope this gets topped, if only for sheer entertainment value

Apparently, Glock and di Grassi will continue to put miles on the Virgin before February 10. Sporting of her, I must say :mrgreen:

At what point do they need to change the team name?

When they win a race.

They can then become PCGP.

They missed an opportunity when Virgin's launch hit technical difficulties: VIRGINS SHY FIRST TIME OUT.

Personally, my favourite has been an unintended double entendre: SOUTH AFRICAN BODY SLAMS TODT.

I hope they stay in F1 for a while. I'm having a ball with these titles. :lol:

I am starting to wonder if Virgin GPs reason for F1 existance is for fans to snigger at all these titles...

Not quite a Virgin-related headline pun of the year, but how many of you know the surname of Bridgestone's F1 Technical Manager? Answer below with link to a Bridgestone story from Autosport...

It is KOBAYASHI

ah but it's a pretty common name... I thought you were going for another pun-based name like Dick T. Boner or Rudolf Reinders etc. (they both exist)

Didn't realise. Still, with all the Kobayashi-mania on here, I thought there could be another to get excited about...

Maybe Bridgestone's Koby will give Sauber's Koby some special tyres for quali and the race...

Post by **DemocalypseNow** » 05 Feb 2010, 19:16

Or what about this corker by Autosport a few days ago:

"New McLaren gets Hamilton excited."

Looks like he's replaced Nicole with the MP4-25...

I think Kobayashi cheated on the Kobayashi Maru also to get into F1 how ironic!

Actually, Kirk never used the Bat'leth. The weapon was invented for The Next Generation, thus Kirk never handled the weapon

Not Kirk and a Bat'leth, KOBAYASHI and a Bat'leth (and I never had any cool-points to begin with. I find it a source of pride)

I'll add to the battle of Virgin Puns

It would seems as the the Virgin broke under pressure.

The Virgin came last in testing their new mount.

It was di Grassi's first time today. In the Virgin.

Phoenix · Post by **Phoenix** » 12 Feb 2010, 21:26

That Virgin is really a beauty, especially with Glock on it.
