gotta love the Ayrton Senna quote. My father and I both said what a whiney little bitch he was after that. Irvine was racing him exceptionally well, admittedly to stay on the lead lap, but what was he supposed to do, just move the feck over? I seem to remember it was a rainy day, so a ballsy lucky driver could do well in a not so good car - Senna should have remembered the opening lap at Donnington in the European GP to have known that. Plus we Ulstermen are not great respecters of the high and mighty.
Didn't his McLaren mechanics hang some boxing gloves on his wing mirrors after that, and then he had another whole snit.

Dont quit your day job - Bruce McInnes said to my whole class at my Skippy school
Who do you think that you are, Mario Andretti?? - Sebring police officer also at my Skippy school when he stopped a classmate in the early morning hours while still wearing his driving suit
Have not yet seen this classic: "When the green flag drops, the bullE36 M3 stops"
Dirt's for racing. Asphalt's for getting there.
I can't remember where I read this quote but an unknown rally driver said regarding the handling of his car on a stage " If I don't have to look out the back window then the handling is fine".
There are two kinds or rally drivers: Those who've rolled and those who will. ----?

Drive until you can just get a glimpse of god and then back it down a 1/10th.
Physics.. . . The Silent Killer.
Cheep, Fast and Reliable.. .. You can only have two.
Gasoline is for washing parts, alcohol is for drinking. Nitro is for racing.
Oviously-"I WAS 7th!!!!!!" (watch the you tube video, the driver is now doing really well in SM in my region)

I was at that event...and I think this has to be the fourth time you have quoted that on this board...
still funny though.
Another way to describe WFO:

It may be the fifth. Joel has NEVER gone racing with me since. I need a baconator.
I've always enjoyed (and of course, never subscribed to) the saying: "there are cheaters and there are losers"
"If you don't want me to drive on it, you shouldn't pave it."

Thanks for providing a flashback. Late 80's, driving up I-85 to Road Atlanta early Sunday morning for day two of a Solo I time trial. Off in the distance, flashing lights on the side of the road. As I approach, I realize it is the new very enthusiastic racer who bought the ex-Bob Postell SSB Peugot 505 turbo, still with numbers and graphics, standing next to the car on the side of the road wearing his Nomex driving suit. Hard to talk your way out of that one, methinks......
