rodders47 2 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 250,000 quid, sounds cheap to me, but like how would you ever start it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 Dunno, you would have to get a starter gun with it, surely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grabthaw the Hammerslayer 4 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 Find a large hill, stick it in gear, roll down it, let out the clutch lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrisbaneAndy 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 You could just sit and look at it. When Webber ran one at Eastern Creek there were nine people, from memory, looking after it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 Find a large hill, stick it in gear, roll down it, let out the clutch lol be spewin if the brakes didnt work because you didnt get the car started in time. BANG!!!! Just do what the drivers do, vacate the scene lol. You'd be like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodders47 2 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 yep would need the starter AND all the gear to heat the oil/water etcetcetc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Forget how to start it, I dont think it comes with an engine! Still, if I were to buy it, it would only be so I could then list it for sale for £275,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 Turn it into a simulator lol. Least it would have a chance if running at the front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrisbaneAndy 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 It does come with the V8. Button's 2004 BAR is also for sale, ex engine, for 60k sterling. You would need a lot of gear to start it, not to mention technicians. I wonder how he came by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2014 You can find them on the net, the more successful the car was the more it's worth. I remember schumis 97 Ferrari was up for sale once and I think it was something rediculous of 1.3 or 2.3 million for it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Does make you wonder what the teams do with the cars when they're no longer needed. I would've thought they'd always be broken down, and the parts disposed of somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Nah they sell them, waste, otherwise. Some people that purchase them, actually race them in certain nostalgic events around the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Surprised there isnt a law against any average Joe turning up with an F1 car and racing it round a circuit, a non-professional racing driver could kill themself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 They would have to be some sort of licence required and they would be restricted to a sense I Beleive until you could proove you can race it at full speed. Something along those lines would be mandatory for the licence. I think that's how it works anyway, a cams licence aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2014 Lol would love to wake up the neighbours by revving the V8 up to 15,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2014 Haha yea that was brilliant, particularly as it was by a supposedly 'french' team. At the end of each race (before these stupid hybrids were introduced) they should've played the podium anthems with a V10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2014 Rather like how RBR are deemed 'Austrian' and Merc are German. No, Formula 1, they're all british but with foreign badges on. Except sauber, ferrari & STR of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrisbaneAndy 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2014 I wonder how many Germans work for MGP? Does Rosberg count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2014 lol he's probably the only one! Even then he's barely german, more a Finn who grew up in monaco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
