All About You

[Kopite Girl 0]

yes, well, thanks 4 driving us hooligans in here crazy!

Yay! Big bad Brad is back. Welcome back mate!

And believe me, after the past few days I've had you don't know the meaning of being driven crazy. Slowly insane. Not being able to sleep because you're crazy driven!

One other question: what is the coolest thing ever you'd love to do? Money no object, no idea too out of reach. Cross the boundaries!

A: travel backwards and forwards in time.

[Autumnpuma 0]

Name: Mike

Age: 39 (great thing is, two years from now this will still read as '39')

Location: Lake Elsinore, California

Sex: Sure

Favourite F1 Driver: Jim Clark

Least favourite F1 Driver: I can't decide: Giovanni Lavaggi or Nelson Piquet Jr.

What you like to do on weekends: Regain my sanity

Food: Sushi

Drink: Just about any beer (yes, even Budweiser has it's good points) and Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban.

Favourite song: How Long by The Eagles

Pet Hates: Liars. Whining people.

Dream Job: Being known as a painter. When someone asks what I do, I would say 'I'm a painter'.

Worst Job: I don't even want to imagine it.

Religion?: Christian. Not affiliated with any organization, however. I'm the kind of Christian that lets everyone sail their own ship and couldn't care less about 'saving' anyone. Do what makes you happy and I'll do the same. You'll get no judgments from me.

Favourite Forum Members (ha-ha): I'm not going to list anyone because I'm sure to leave someone out. You're all great until you disagree with me.

Least favourite Forum Members: See above.

Forum Members I miss the most: dan, alastair (though I only briefly talked to him) and funkejay (gratingly liberal but a damned fine person).

Why does this matter? because a forum member I quite like, Steph, has started this topic.

Life motto: 'It's easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission'. Or, 'Always know where your keys are'.

Highest education: I would say college, but I've learned more from life than I ever did from college, so the real answer is 'Life: ongoing'.

Life motto: 'It's easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission'. Or, 'Always know where your keys are'.

Man, have I put in practice that motto, ahahah. Both, actually, I love to know I have my keys on hand.

[Quiet One 15]

Name: Andres, but you can call me Bwana

Age: 39 but who's keeping the score, anyways?

Location: Buenos Aires, la ciudad de la furia.

Least favourite F1 Driver: I agree with Russ. Alan Jones.

What you like to do on weekends: I like to move it, move it!

Food: Steak, pasta, anything that can kill me faster than vegetables and fish.

Drink: Coke. No coke? Ok, give me a whisky. Straight. Caipirinha on those hot summer nights with friends. And anything that comes from the lips of a beautiful womnan.

Favourite song: Too many. Not properly songs but anything from Bach or Beethoven. Old jazz. 80's music. Indie. One of the songs that define my finest moments though could be "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode and "En Remolinos" by Soda Stereo. "Maldicion, va a ser uun dia hermoso" by Patricio Rey y los Redonditos de Ricotta also.

Pet Hates: Injustice. Human beings. Mediocrity. The sun.

Dream Job: Blow. (I never dream of a job. I have activities I would love to do, but not as jobs. Being one of the Mythbuster's guys, for example.)

Worst Job: F1 driver (man, I would miss watching every race live!)

Religion?: N/A. Atheist which is no religion. If atheist is a religion then bald is a hair color.

Favourite Forum Members: F1 Master Batracer.

What? Oh, ok...then I would pick (among others): Guille, Edu, Paul, Bruce, Mike, Steve, Russ, Graham, John, Chris, George, Eric, Tanita, Eli, Kati, Steph, Nathan, Brad, Jez, Adam, Maure, Cav, Ankit, Shaliq, Oli, Piotr, Tifosi, F1Fanatic...

Forum Members I miss the most: Bajo, Ykick, Angie, Kay, Kup, C21, Shane and Yoda.

Life motto: Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. Scratch where it itches.

Highest education: Uni of life, as well. Only letdown is (for an atheist) that a posgraduate seems very unlikely.

[maure 1]

Y'know, when you're not ranting about 'Lewsterics' or such nonsense, you're damned likable.

There are those that try to get the "best" out of people. I settle for trying to get out of people just what they've got. No better medicine than one's own.

So shy not, I say... and thanks for the kind words.

(edit: freaking comparative)

Doc, I've just gotta unload my mind. My worries are eating through me, my insecurities are gnawing at the last vestiges of sanity, I'm worn down to my bone, my own flesh & blood have rejected me...in short, life has chewed up & spat me out. Your advice?

[lewisthegreat2 0]

Y'know, when you're not ranting about 'Lewsterics' or such nonsense, you're damned likable.

Noooo!!! You can't say nice things about him cuz...cuz...cuz...cuz...that's logical! You have to hate him because everyone else hates him because he doesn't support (insert favorite driver here).

Maure's made some very good posts, honestly. I can't say I dislike any members here, though I do know a few members who dislike me, but I got off easy with liegate so I think it's only fair some people hate me for it the way they should

Aw. Does that mean we can't insult you if we're on the list??

Least favourite Forum Members: Hermy (for the love of George I cannot remember his name. That nazi guy)

Ulric. From the land of the mighty, award-winning Fjords. And I quite liked him, offensive opinions and all.

I'll pass that along.

Fair enough.

Yes, I see what our clever gorilla has done as well.

You ride? Good to meet a fellow biker. There are some of us around here... not many though.

All bikers are just goofs.

Favourite Forum Members (ha-ha): I'm not going to list anyone because I'm sure to leave someone out. You're all great until you disagree with me.

Oh no, that doesn't apply to him he supports Kimi and everyone who does is a very likeable person.

I rather like the phrase from Top Gun "You're not gonna be happy unless you're going Mach with your hair on fire." becuase my hair would never flow in the wind unless I let it grow very long but it could easily catch fire.

[Argento Reloaded 1]

I really enjoy the time in the forums and for all of us with some time upon our shoulders is almost incredible the possibility to "talk" almost in real time all over the world. Remember when I was 16 as many of the forum members there was no PC and no TV remote control -at least in my country-

Sometimes you made me angry, but ... then I realised I

Driven crazy u say??? You won't believe the stuff that happened to poor Big bad Brad the last few months, what a terrible year it has been.

Adios and stay safe
