well since I have a penis I believe I am a man! Though my mates just call me 'The Gay' as it's just as effective as my actual name in getting my attention!

My prediction... Ferrari WCC and WDC but we will see. I think there might be one or two surprises next season especially with the TC ban!

Predictions for 2008?

The Red Sox and the Yankees will still be the best teams in baseball. The Patriots and the Colts will still be the best teams in football. The Bruins will still suck in hockey. The Revolution will still be so close, yet so far, and no one will really give a **** about the MLS. NASCAR will still be boring, I'll have a new car or maybe new cars depending on how I feel, and I won't have my TV on Channel 250 during Grands Prix. George and Elgo will still be child pornographers, admin will still be an admin, and the president of the United States will either be black, female, or Mormon. Yes, Mormon, not Moron, we've already had enough of those.

Well, you never specified just WHAT I was predicting...

EDIT: Nevermind, you did in the original post, so I'll pretend I didn't read that.

The President could also be an Italian-American from Nya Yark. And if it is THAT female, it will also be a moron.. no, wait, I can't demean John Edwards like this...

Hmm let's see.  Let's go with the dead ringers for starters.

Honda will still suck.  Nick Fry will still be leading the team.  And some people had the nerve to claim BAR/Honda sucked because of JV.  About time you faced the fact that it's the team who sucks.  

Toyota will also still suck.  Their "radical" new car will look and drive as crappy as all their previous cars.  No one will care.

RBR will again blowup consistently.  That's the only thing they can do on a regular basis.  Webber will toss the steering wheel out of the car, and DC will put in some gritty midfield performances only to come 9th for all his troubles.

McLaren will put in a repeat of 2006.  Hence the curse of the Star Trek Odd Numbered Movie Curse.  McLaren will continue to experience the even numbered curse they have endured for many years.  They had good years in 2003,2005 and 2007.  Lewis will say something he shouldn't to the press, only to have Uncle Ron mop up the mess.  Lewis will get his on JibJab web animation in honor of the greatest flip flopper of all, John Kerry.

Williams will have a great year with Nico scoring a podium.   For reasons that are not clear, Sato will still be Japans premier F1 driver.  The love/hate relationship with him will continue.

BMW will make some headway, but still be in the same position they are this year.  Kubica will still drive erratically and yet somehow keep it on the road.  Nick will emerge come the beginning of 2008, with the greatest beard F1 has ever seen.

Renault will appear in an even more ugly paint scheme than this year.  The crystal ball is too murky when it comes to this team.  Too many other factors at play.

Torro Rosso will beat RBR in reliability.  Bourdais will get a little Scott Speed love from his team, but will show his class by the end of the season.  Vettel will get a haircut.

Ferrari will cleanup both championships with Kimi being the champ.  Massa will have a little sulk, but will toe the party line.  Brawn will be hired by the team but like Schumi, will retain a position with no name and or function.

Force India will surprise a few with their car liverly but will experience reliability problems.  The crystal ball is also a little murky on this team too.  But should Luizzi score a drive there, he will put in some good performances.

Super Aguri will again beat Honda on the track.  Sato will put in a couple of awesome overtaking moves right on the heals of spearing off one of the Toyota's from a previous race.  The love affair with Sato will continue.  How can you love something that is so bad you wonder?  You won't care.
"Obviously I am pleased to have many fans. Who would not want? But to be honest, I have no idea why people like me."

"Do you really think I would be here if it was just about money?" Raikkonen hit back.  "I do enough fun things in my spare time than to have to listen to this bullsh*t."

"There is always a lot of talk about the motivation but nobody really knows what I do or what I think except for myself, so I don't really care about what people say."

"There's always talk about my motivation, written by people who don't know me and couldn't have an idea on how strong my motivation is. If I didn't feel I had the motivation, I would stop. My feeling is that I probably drove some of my best races in my last season in Formula One and I was very happy with my performance. I've never had any issues with motivation."

Vodka, ice-creams in the garage, rallying, snow-mobile racing, gorilla suit connoisseur, hitched to former miss Finland, James Hunt appeal, a vacant stare, talks like a Dalek, 1970s caps, Elton John glasses and some people call this guy boring? I wish we had more characters like him in F1 Posted Image

I think Clinton would be better, she would be very similar to Billy and he was very good for America and had good foriegn policies...even though Obama is from IL, i'd put my money on Clinton whining. Both have good ammounts of sympathy votes for them, Clinton for being the first women President and Obama for being the first colored president.....

Either that's a typo or you think Clinton will lose and then whine about it, causing the WMSC to host an appeal on November 15 because Obama's fuel is too cold.

Cool!  You know, many drug dealers become famous.  Juan Pablo Montoya and his sister, Shakira, used to be drug peddlers for the Montoya's family cocaine farm.  That's how they both got careers: JPM learned how to go fast because he delivered drugs in his go-kart, and Shakira was soo nervous they'd get caught that she'd sing to comfort herself.

I'll make real predictions when I know where Fernando is racing.

And also, if DC says it's gunna be his year or not, if he says it is he gets a 2 position penalty, if not, he can stay where I have him.

How?  Kimi cloned himself.  Trust me.  There are many Kimis.  There's the Kimi who smiles, the Kimi who does not, the Kimi who raced in Canada and Monaco, the Kimi who raced in France and Brazil, the Kimi who is fast but unreliable, the Kimi who is fast and reliable, the Kimi who is married to Jenni, the Kimi who is married to Jean Todt, the Kimi who has a blonde fauxhawk, the Kimi who has a dirty blonde something hidden under a Mubadala Abu Dhabi hat, and the Kimi who is currently in your pants.

Wait a minute this sounds eerily like a movie plot - think of Terminator 2 where the T1000 can assume any human form.... In Kimi's case he has taken it to the next level with his (alleged) naughtiness with young ladies - he is The Sperminator!  :o

I think however the top 5 may look a little something like this... Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW, Honda/Renault, Red Bull!
