Unfortunately Garth is too tall to fit into a F1 car.

Garth would just kick the car into shape with his god-like feet.

Dear Bernie
Can Holden have a team in F1 now?
Love Tom Walkinshaw

Dear Tom
General Motors doesn't consider you or Holden important enough. Please badge your cars as Chevrolets, and we'll make sure you get all the behind-the-scenes action Ferrari has access to. Get in touch with Rick Hendrick, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Danica Patrick in America and they can help provide the sponsorship dollars, but this must be an American dream-team unlike that USF1 crap in order to recapture the American market from being put to sleep by Disney's coverage of NASCAR.
Love Bernie

Dear Bernie,
bathplug you.
Love Tom.

The infamous CART/IRL split happened, unfortunately. CART became ChampCars, eventually went bust and merged with the IRL, which was a damn shame.

FTG.

The open wheel war in America was really silly. Tony George just wanted more power, and he's been booted off the Indinapolis Motor Speedway board by the rest of his family. ChampCar was running fairly strong until 2006, even though I have to admit the 2003 Lola chassis they used was one of the most beautiful cars ever.

I have to admit though, the rejectfulness of the IRL grid from 1996 to around 2000 was entertaining for its own sake. You had idiot drivers like Dr. Jack Miller, Robbie Buhl, and Shigeaki Hattori. The Indy 500 in 1997 was enjoyable just for how much fail there was in it -- if it was an F1 race still, Reject of the Race would be nigh-impossible to call.

The IRL now has their act gotten together, the problem is that the damage has been done, and while there are many talented oval and road course drivers in the field, the money isn't really there, even though the IRL puts on the best show on oval tracks -- like the Chicagoland race this year -- which I was at.

Of course, how could one forget Shigeaki Hattori? His rejectfulness was simply astounding, encapsulated in this scorecard.

This guy's special...

Yeah. It seems that rejectdom is universal.

With Nick Fry at Mercedes GP, McLaren is the new Soopa Aguri.

God blase him, my gast will be very flabbered with him...

Garth Tander is an anagram for Darth Vader.

Does this make Tom Walkinshaw Darth Sidious then?

The post season driver-team negotiations seem to be more thrilling and adrenaline-packed than the entire season...

I hate the Australian weather- 42 degrees Celsius (the proper measurement system) tomorrow!
It isn't even summer and there's this 40+ degree heat!
Double reject points to anyone who can work out where I live in Australia.

Also I am annoyed at Formula Elaborate Bluff for keeping us on edge for a while mid-season but to no avail.

Minus 42 Celsius, you think thats hot?

It says South-East Australia for his location so it's probably Victoria

JamesAllenShoeTrader wrote:Double reject points to anyone who can work out where I live in Australia.

Adelaide?

All wrong.
Although half-points to Kaiser Franz for Victoria. It's actually New South Wales, but near Victoria.

Ross Prawn wrote:Minus 42 Celsius, you think thats hot?

Actually +42 degrees, and the forecast has been revised to 40C.

I remember posting that scorecard earlier. ;D

I wonder if 2010 will actually have some overtaking?

Computers, who needs them. They can produce the strangest faults. Mine has just decided to write in Chinese. So--- rs?????bb??mm????

Bathurst should be named Bathplug instead.

No, Bathurst should be renamed Rubber Duckie Speedway, because it's far more valued then a bathplug, all we need is for parts of the track to be literal lakes and for the cars to all be amphibious motorized ducks.

Probably because HWNSNBM doesn't like Unicode.

If there weren't computers, this forum would never exist, which would be quite sad.

Not to mention many more things...

HWNSNBM is both The Fast AND The Furious. Vin Diesel is his twin brother.

I'll believe you, but you're a moderator...you have to take the rules more seriously than any other

It just adds to the fact that I'm an absolute sock puppet.

In truth, I know more about stupid mistakes than anyone else here, arguably.

You, Jesus? Really? You're Jesus? The son of God? Heaven help us...

God and Jesus are the same person: HWNSNBM. This is blasphemy! You'll burn in a papaya hell!

Hmmm, does it matter whether I like the smell of barbequed papaya or not? By the way, HWNSNBM is the Holy Ghost/Spirit also. Fancy sharing a piece of toasted papaya with me?

Why not? I'm already condemned for supporting a new HWNSNBM candidature...

HWNSNBM doesn't care if he has a dedicated thread or that people are randomly ranting about him. He'll blase them all anyway...

I'm sure we could do all this via semaphore

Okay, c'mon guys, can we get back on topic of the topic of being off-topic in this topic now please?
