Grand Prix Rejects

giraurd wrote:hello all fellow reject fans, new face here - have been an avid F1 follower ever since I was a little kid, and ever since I remember were more interested in following what was happening in the bottom end of the field than those boring mclarens and ferraris - especially the mighty Minardi vs Arrows duel in late nineties was hardcore stuff for me.

Therefore ever since I started to wander around the internet I dreamt of a place where it is a bigger topic to discuss FIA's decision to revoke Yuji's superlicense than the tiring sennaschumacherhamiltonalonso wars every single internet forum and F1 discussion group is more than full of.

So giraurd was a very sad puppy on the internet, until he was browsing the magnificent F1 Rejects main site as always whenever he had nothing else to do - then, by an accident, he clicked on something on the page and was directed here. It had a forum ... and how epic it was to first notice 60 pages of discussion about HRT's F1 endeavors and none dedicated for the top end teams - it was more than enough to convince me I had found a good place, close to heaven. Now, after some months of lurking finally registered, ready to hail for the HWNSNBM

We're a bit like the pirate outlaws of the F1 internet world. Splice the mainbrace, hoist the HRT flag up the mast and get me grog, because I'm old enough for it and half the forum isn't! Arrrrr!

Half of the forum has been taken over by football, I've made a F1RWRS comeback, and we still don't know what Deletraz was doing. Other than that, it's pretty standard going.

And Martins managed to score a point in his final F1RWRS race. Oh, and Melrose self-destructs his contract with Jones. Don't ask me why.

Oh and Melrose may sign for Sunshine if he gets a good enough offer

Only because they foolishly had an open bar during the French GP. Well, I think it was the French GP, the one with Golfcartgate, Alasdair Lindsay was too drunk to remember what country he was in. Needless to say, three guys drank the team's entire stash in under an hour.

And you're willing to pass up the opportunity to have one of the biggest free agents on the market for the sake of a bit of dough? Dude, you've just been bought by Daihatsu. Surely they have some money available

By now the Tropico GP offer should have arrived on his table.

Yeah we had a bit of weight limit left but no spare $ budget so we chucked the cat in
of course you cant do that these days in F1 as the cat would be deemed a moveable device

Ooh, if anyone wants a go on my nutcase, let me know. I can go easy on new members, but if you don't turn back, you will definitely get some sort of flash.

After a few years reading and enjoying the postings on this forum I had to join in
I'm from the Netherlands, the country of the hammering Spyker!

As a child I was completely mad about F1 and wanted to know every single thing about it.
I talked all day about F1 and couldn't wait for the next GP to begin.
This passion is pretty cooled down somewhere around 2004-2005 when F1 became more and more boring with awkward rules, too less attrition, dull tracks with 100 kilometers of run off space and last but not least: DRS..
But I still enjoy the good old days and thinking about the great tracks, drivers and especially all the memories of the reject teams and drivers.

Now I gonna get myself a nice avatar
