Btcc

Was meaning to post this yesterday but busy busy busy!!!

Commiseration's to Eion Murray who was involved in the 1st lap accident and wiped out his chances in both that and the 2nd race

BTCC - Brands

I note that the accident was caused by a BMW driver who was probably jealous that Eion had a much better looking car

I also think that this race put the lie to rear wheel drive being superior for everyday driving as not only did the chap in the one loose it big time; but so did the orange BMW that was in the lead

Anyway - sorry to hear that Eion won't be able to compete at Knockhill

Rear wheel drive and painted tarmac don't mix Kevin that's why they spun !! Like all BMW drivers they wanted all the road and then some and paid the price !!

Orange Beemer was driven by Colin Turkington from here in Northern Ireland. Even though he drives a BMW he is a genuinely nice chap.

Yes, but he since gave up smoking the pipe, shaved the beard and decided tweed wasn't his style.

Tom Onslow-Cole is a thoroughly nice chap too.

Had the fortune to meet him when he was a Clio Cup rookie (and still a schoolkid ) because one of my mates was doing some radio work and a story on this teenage 'prodigy' racing driver, so spent a bit of time with him and his crew over a weekend at Brands. Good to see him getting somewhere, a kid with real talent and a star in the making.

Sorry I often seem to disagree with you Kev, but I can't let you get away with this one!
1. BTCC is not 'everyday driving' (It's neither driving nor racing - unless you include fairground bumper cars as driving)
2. 'Losing it' is generally caused by the driver ( or in the case of the BTSS, another driver) and not the car.
3. If FWD is superior to RWD on the track, how come there are not, and never have been, any FWD cars in ALL the major formulae?
RWD cars are inherently safer to drive fast

Look out

The low post bullies have arrived





PS I'll think you'll find Kevin's comments were a bit tounge in cheek fella



























PPS Chill biatch

Kev knows I know that, and so was my reply. I sit squarely on the fence when it comes to post bullies
But thanks for your concern, all the same

Kev knows you know that but I didn't know that Kev knows you knew that !!



Watch out for them splinters on that fence !!

BTW Dave Pinkey won't be at Knockhill following that 'out of control rear wheel drive panzerwagen' incident !!

Kev knows what he knows but whether he knows whats what is unknown

Well Big D 71 seems to know what's what but I don't know if others will know who knows what's what and who's who and what they know !!

Then again he doesn't seem to know what's what or who's who when it comes to knowing who's where on what side of the fence !!

"On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
Now is it true, or is it not,
That what is which and which is what?

On Tuesday, when it hails and snows
The feeling on me grows and grows
That hardly anybody knows
If those are these or these are those.

On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it's true
That who is what and what is who.

On Thursday, when it starts to freeze
And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees,
How very readily one sees
That these are whose- but whose are these?

On Friday........."
