Nooooooooo! Why? 90334[/snapback] i know alot of people say that. I put it down to the fact im a big Mclaren fan i suppose, so always followed his progress...especially loved wwatching him in qualifying...bloody brilliant! Mika races DTM now.

...just like senna

OK, now we're talking favourites i'd go for 1 Senna 2. Alesi 3. Mika Hakkinen I like Barrichello too, who doesnt? But although he's a great guy and all that, he just lacks that ruthless edge that it takes to be a great driver. Wonder if Rossi will get a drive? He's been looking good in testing.

1. The late GREAT Ayrton Senna 2 Schumacher 3. Mansell. Senna is my all time hero in life not just sport. For me he summed up what racing is all about, determind, skilled, on the edge at times and totally single minded almost to the point of ruthlessness, to achieve his aim. I know Fangio was Senna's hero, but i dont know enough about him to put him in my 3, he probably was the best ever F1 driver if you take into account the danger of racing in those days, certainly you had to be either very brave or just plain nuts! But i've picked my top 3 by what i've seen and experienced. I still miss Senna....for me, F1 was never the same after he died so tragically. I just couldnt believe it, what a great loss....i watch other types of motorsports now like touring cars, DTM etc and see Alesi still giving it his all and wonder if Senna would have done the same. Schumacher....GRRR I have to be honest and say i used to really (quite irrationally) detest this man. It was probably all to do with Damon Hill and what MS did to him at that last race in Melboune 94 But over the years i've warmed to him You cant deny his very great abilities and achievments. I wished we'd seen Senna and Schumacher going to head to head far more. . Mansell. Picked Mansell in my top 3 cos he's English and we dont have many champions in anything...holding the two titles simultaneuosly was good, although anyone could have won the title in the williams that year! He certainly was a talented driver though, bloody determind and very stubborn.....still love watching those old races of him and senna wheel to wheel..great stuff!! Nigel also gets my vote as no 1 for acting....loved the dramatic, totally exhausted way he finished each race and struggled from the car! Have to mention Jean Alesi and Gerherd Berger too....enjoyed watching them both.

Indeed 90269[/snapback] leave my knuckles out of this

well it made me chuckle 90247[/snapback] You've opened a can of worms now! 90251[/snapback] should have kept my chuckles to meself i suppose

well it made me chuckle

Happy Birthday SLP Hope you have a good day

Certainly a bundle of laughs playing for your country there then!

Hey, i wont have you lot maligning my hair In defence of it, i have to say its long and naturally wavy....and yes, in that pic it had got abit wind swept i admit....but normally its tied up and under control!! Please go back to the original topic now!!!!

You're 89784[/snapback] It's her dopey Torquay accent. 89786[/snapback] Oiiii I haven't got an accent 89793[/snapback] What have you got then? 89795[/snapback] An accentless voice? Oh you know what i mean, you're just being pedantic now Gol I meant i don't sound like Worzel Gummidge!! Oooo Arrrrrr 89799[/snapback] Everyone else does from darn there. What went wrong? 89804[/snapback] Torquinians dont seem to have much of an accent, i have no idea why! Parts of Devon like Brixham have a much deeper south west accent...my mother in law calls a brush a 'brish' You can still hear that accent though if you listen to the old uns' or farmers!! But we dont have such a strong accent as the Cornish or Bristonians...thnak god!

LOL

I LOVE you too SLP Because i remember you were polite and welcoming to me...and that was before you knew my bra size!! Put those tissues away jimbo...its only afternoon ffs!!

I LOVE Toonraider. Although, her continuing reluctance to give me her bra size is in danger of souring the relationship. 89792[/snapback] Whats the fascination? I'm a 36DD ok?

You're 89784[/snapback] I spelt it right didn't I Gol? Or are you pointing out I didn't use a capital Y? EDIT. Ahh yes i see now Thing is you see, im multi tasking here (Bloody picky lot you are)

Havent really got a least favourite..... your're all northern wankers

This is a tricky one as im not on here an awful lot, i still get mixed up as to who is who Plus i havent met any of you and i just dont seem to fit in on here really, probably cos im older than alot of you and... (dare i say it) im a southerner But i like the sound of mags and peasepud. Oh and how could i forget dear ole snakehips and also SLP

That was my first thought too...surely family could have got in touch with him? What a disgusting carry on Two weeks...so he probably missed the funeral too? Thats just unbelievable

one thing bothers me though.... He looks like count Dracula

Don't let AF see that 89520[/snapback]
