I'll have to find a clip, but one of my favorite moments from Spain yesterday was I think Magnussen or Hulkenburg, the race engineer on the radio after they got a minor jostle. WAS THERE CONTACT!?.. yeah I got knocked a bi...OK CALM DOWN AND RELAX!!! STAY CALM! RELAX!

oh that was hilarious. I commented I remember at the time. The driver was like er something and the race engineer loving yelled at him STAY CALM. Like when in the history of staying calm has someone screaming STAY CALM at you made you want to stay calm? You usually try the opposite, lower your tone and that sorta suggests they're being a bit nuts and should tone it down.

Ok story time because I'm in the office and I'll be hosed if I'm going to start writing this thing they need automated. I've got a nice coffee and its quiet in here. So Victoria has a thing where they don't issue registration stickers anymore. Like when you registered your car you'd get a sticker with the month it was going to expire and you'd stick that in the windshield and it both reminds you and is a super quick way for the cops to look and see you're being dodgy. We hosed all that off, future, progress, all that.. now it's just a huge database with no physical reminder. You get a letter, but I missed the loving letter. So I was driving an unregistered car for months, totally unaware until TWO $750 fines appeared in my mailbox for driving an unregistered car (speed cameras also just automatically check all the number plates that go past and just issues fines, all with no human intervention) because I drove past a camera. When I went to register my car, they wanted to see the Road Worthy certificate because it's been more than 3 months! Its gotta go to a mechanic for an inspection and they have to sign a thing! Man I was pissed, actually told the lady at VicRoads that its a late model BMW and are you serious? She said yes and she didn't care if it was Senna's Red and White (she didn't say that). So to the mechanic I go and guess what, those fronts look a little scrubbed. Oh that's this suspension bushing, you've thrashed the poo poo out of that because you push it. Brake rotors? A couple of ml undersize, we can't issue a RWC for that. So the bloody car is there getting Continental Sports fitted (apparently they are the bomb) and other little things. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

So there you go, I hosed up and it's cost me a lot of money. Could have bought a decent secondhand kart with what I wasted here.

Formula 1 One hero James Hunt got it right. Fast cars, booze, cigarretes and women.

Our Niki said in his book that he eats "yoghurt" and strawberries all the time and he was burned alive but he's still alive and making millions in F1. The true hero.

Tony Montana: Aug 6, 2005; by FactsAreUseless

I watched When Playboys Ruled the World over the weekend with my sister because we were both on Adelaide and she said exactly the same thing. Is Nikki's wife attractive? Sure, she is beautiful. How many WDCs did Niki win? A lot more than Hunt, that's for sure. What does Niki do now? He's on the board of Mercedes, Toto reports to him. He also owns an airline or did and various other cool things ex-WDCs go and do with themselves.

So why is Hunt the hero then? To me it sounds like Niki is the winner, she said. It quite impressed and also kinda saddened me a little.

Eh.

I got pulled over on my motorcycle because the rego had expired and I hadn't realized it. In my case it was because I'd had it for less than 3 months and the dealership I'd bought it from didn't know exactly how long was left on it and I never got the reminder letter (probably because it went to the dealers and they never told me), so the cops let me off with a warning. Nice guys.

Sure, he's a great driver, but he doesn't belong in that group, at least not while he's still racing. Put in Prost, Rosberg (Sr.), Fangio, Nige, Hunt, Lauda, gently caress, even Bernie!
