I forgot my mobile phone today, otherwise I was going to give you a call when the cars were on track just so you could hear it and be jealous :) :)

Freaking awesome.. you'd NEED the IS on that :D

I admire you for not doing the runner with it :p

That said, doesn't it weigh like 8 kilos or something? A 'quick' getaway is probably out of the question :D :p

$18,000 phwooar :)

That is a car!!

‘Strange but True’


Super Aguri had to really rush to get their cars ready for this season and they have ended up running what used to be 2002 Arrows cars which belonged to former Minardi owner Paul Stoddart. Amazingly, one of the cars they have here this weekend is on its second trip to Melbourne in a matter of months. Apparently, it had been used as a show car in the city promoting a local burger joint. Presumably the team had to clean out all the used polystyrene burger boxes, empty ketchup sachets and plastic knives and forks, before it was fit for active service. Even stranger, all three of the car’s owners are here in Melbourne this weekend: the current one, Aguri Suzuki and both its previous owners in the shape of Stoddart and former Arrows boss, Tom Walkinshaw.

Back to his old style too :p

ooooo and thats the spin from.. Fernando Massa!

I thought it was good to see the BMW's up there

-Dan

Wouldn't have a clue where anyone is at currently tho :p

MS looked on a quick one until his lockup and then the off a couple of corners later..

One wonders how confident McLaren can be too, to be sitting back like they are.

‘Strange but True’

Bwahahaha, that is GOLD!

I loved it when Murray came out with the comment about Benetton when the Renault and Ferrari guys were standing next to each other :D

Am I the only one who cant stand Murray Walker? He is a stupid sloth that has made himself a role for being a bumbling stupid idiot!

I was glad to see the end of him and am spewing he is back... that advert for OzJet made me want to smash my TV everytime I heard it!

This Quali is just sensational!!!

Sure is, I'm loving it... even more now Schui is out :D:D

Looked like a GMC air blower that they left on :) (it looked seriously cheap for a brake cooler)

This Quali is just sensational!!!

Great to see Webber in the Top Ten - wonder where he will end up on the grid? Bloody rain - they need to have the GP in Sydney where the weather is soooooooo much better ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Oh, and the best video work of the day had to be of the steward handing the parts back to the Ferrari garage... "err, I think these belong to you"

Some very interesting times in there..

Am I the only one who cant stand Murray Walker? He is a stupid sloth that has made himself a role for being a bumbling stupid idiot!

I was glad to see the end of him and am spewing he is back... that advert for OzJet made me want to smash my TV everytime I heard it!

Can't agree with you but I have noticed he isn't the same, I suppose a couple years out of the game does that to you.

The wierdest part was when Lee, Ant Davidson, Crompton and Murray were commentating practice. Everyone was talking over each other and then Murray decided to take over!:)

This Quali is just sensational!!!

Agreed. This is the first time I've really paid attention to it, and I'd have to say it has been a great introduction for F1. :cool:

:indi:

yup, was just fantastic to watch :D

Even better receiving a phone call or two from Micky as the cars were tearing past :D :D :D :cool:
