Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2006 There have been some in the past, without naming names, but his nickname is a hint Ok, I know it might be hard to write with real words when one are in a hurry, but please try. If you want to see what a really good post should ideally look like just look below. Super post Argento Just one question, where would you place Hunt? I have him safely in the 1 bracket BTW. James Hunt! He was a bon vivant,a playboy that sometimes used to drive a F1 car. Hunt found a WDC in a very controversial year: 1976 was a year with many complaints and disqualifications between McLaren and Ferrari, not to mention Lauda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argento Reloaded 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2006 Good way of describing how they fall into groups - certainly agree with most of them. Though if Prost deserves to be in the first group, so does Mansell - I don't think he's in the best of all time, but his never say die attitude and the way he adapted to the American scene so quickly counts for a huge amount in his case.What am I saying, I'm a biased Brit Must confess to a little tug of loyalties though, I really want Button to do better (a nationalistic thing!) and I believe he could just scrape into the Kimi/Alonso battle if he could find a fraction more - maybe it's a confidence thing with him. There again, there are some great possibilities in Niko Rosberg, Hamilton, Kovailonen, Kubica group to..... Ever the optimist, I think we have some bright stars on the horizon. Prost was one of the greatest of all time: We won 4 WDC and lost 3 in the last race in eight years in a row!! From Kyalami Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2006 I think Kimi would have excelled in those days. Straight after the race he would pop a bottle of Finlandia and celebrate on his car with a floosy he picked up at a gas on his way to the race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raikkonen_dominates 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2006 If you combine that mixture with Michael's ruthless pursuit of victory then yes, perhaps. Michael was also unbelievable fast, when he was young. I remember, when he was driving benetton and Senna was gradually getting older, for a small moment I felt like Schumi was actually the fastest man. But that was unfortunately too short period to be sure, for known reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loser Boy 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2006 What a stupid thing to say, especially regarding kimi who is driving a ferrari next year.What if everyone builds crap cars (like in 2004) and Toyota come out with a dominant package? Unlikely but this is f1 and it can happen, Renault suddenly jumped to the top in 2005, mclaren did in 1998, and then we would have Trulli and Ralf fighting for the championship. Or, what if renault produce a dominant car and Fisi beats kovalainen to win the title? Jenson and Kimi arent in any danger zone you rectal passage they've both still got about 10 years of racing left at least! Well do forgive me if i m wrong, since i didn't take up biology in college, but isn't rectum a passage? In that case, the figure of speech used is tautology (or tauntology?).

It is a passage so I guess you could call it a rectal passage? Either way you get my point - anger! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is a passage so I guess you could call it a rectal passage? Either way you get my point - anger! no ,tautology is wrong in this case. i don't know why. it's just a gut feel for the language. take it easy mate, abusing me doesn't make me angry. it's 'cos abuses n swear words have lost their sting value for me. years n years of cussin' n being cussed at have dulled my reaction to cusswords ,even if uttered by strangers . anyway, i abuse only my pals. i don't abuse strangers. i mean to say most of us use swear words as terms of endearments.

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2006 when i feel frustrated enough to attack like that i try to make it comical insulting rather than harsh - eg 'rectal passage' instead of 'you thick Sh#t'. My wife told me yesterday that she seriously thinks I have anger issues! I would never accept such a thing. Thus I guess I will be in denial forever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife told me yesterday that she seriously thinks I have anger issues! I would never accept such a thing. Thus I guess I will be in denial forever for me , all cusswords/abuses are comical. instead of "comical insulting" , "euphemistic" seems to fit much better , don't you think?
