driving an icon like the McLaren F1 is not just like driving any other car...you also owe it to the people who love that car to take care of it...not wrap it around poles. |
Actually I respect him for driving it and putting lots of miles on it. Much better than many "exotic" owners that hide the cars away and no one can enjoy the sights and sounds of them. Also, he's a very competent driver, if you've seen his TopGear lap, he was the fastest of all the stars and could potentially go on the F1 board. Very, very smooth and fast. |
hold on a sec...all the other guys that raced on that track have no racing experience...the guy has been racing since some time now..its normal that he has a better time than the other old farts.
nice that he drives it, yes...but dont crash the damn thing...again...i know that driving such a powerfull car with out any computer helping you is very hard....i've crashed my ~200hp car because of me being not on my toes for a split second. but i've learned that if i want to drive that car i have to be fully awake and 150% dedicated to driving it..not glancing out the window....so i'm thinking..didnt he learn? |
I'm sure he appreciates your advice and respects your skills. He might even offer you a position as an adviser on his next movie.
Go back and review the people that have driven on that segment and realize that Brian Johnston (Lead singer of AC/DC) is an amateur racer as are a few others (Tom Cruise raced in Paul Newman's SCCA racing team, picked up the nickname of See Cruise Crash Again). The distinction is that they don't get paid to drive, so they are amateurs and none have driven professionally. Some have never driven in anger and are just damned good drivers (or damned lucky) _________________ Stefan

some funny (apparently true)you be the judge of british hospitals
1. A man dashes into the A&E dept. and yells . . 'My wife's going to have her baby in the taxi'.
I grabbed my stuff, rushed out to the taxi, lifted the lady's dress and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly after protests from the lady I noticed that there were several taxis - - - and I was in the wrong one.
Submitted by Dr. Mark MacDonald , St.. Andrews Hosp. Glasgow
2. At the beginning of my shift, I placed a stethoscope on an elderly and slightly deaf female patient's anterior chest wall.
'Big breaths,'. I instructed.
'Yes, they used to be,'. . . replied the patient..
Submitted by Dr. Richard Barnes , St.Thomas's Bath
3 One day I had to be the bearer of bad news when I told a wife that her husband had died of a massive myocardial infarct. Not more than five minutes later, I heard her on her mobile phone reporting to the rest of the family that he had died of a
'massive internal fart.'
Submitted by Dr. Susan Steinberg Royal London Hosp.
4. During a patient's two week follow-up appointment, he told me that he was having trouble with one of his medications.
'Which one ?'. . .. I asked.
'The patch; the Nurse told me to put on a new one every six hours and now I'm running out of places to put it!'
I had him quickly undress and discovered what I hoped I wouldn't see. Yes, the man had over fifty patches on his body!
Now, the instructions includes removal of the old patch before applying a new one.
Submitted by Dr. Rebecca St. Clair, Norfolk General
5. While acquainting myself with a new elderly patient, I asked 'How long have you been bedridden?'
After a look of complete confusion she answered .'Why, not for about twenty years - when my husband was still alive.'
Submitted by Dr. Steven Swanson- Maidenhead Royal Kent
6. I was performing rounds at the hospital one morning and while checking up on a man I asked . . ...' So how was your breakfast this morning?'
'It's very good except for the Kentucky Jelly. I can't seem to get used to the taste.'. . Bob replied.
I then asked to see the jelly and Bob produced a foil packet labelled 'KY Jelly.'
Submitted by Dr. Leonard J. Brandon . Bristol Infirmary.
7. A nurse was on duty in the A&E when a young woman with purple hair styled into a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting a variety of tattoos, and wearing strange clothing, entered . . It was quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she was scheduled for an immediate operation..
When she was completely disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her pubic hair had been dyed green, and above it there was a tattoo that read . .'Keep off the grass'
Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short note on the patient's dressing, which read 'Sorry . . . had to mow the lawn.'
Submitted by Staff Nurse RN Elaine Fogerty , KGH London

old one but still has its place in humor!!
I THINK YOU'RE THE FATHER OF ONE OF MY KIDS...
A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He's rather taken aback because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, 'Do you know me?' To which she replies, 'I think you're the father of one of my kids.'
Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, 'Are you the stripper from the bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery???'
She looks into his eyes and says calmly, 'No, I'm your son's teacher. _________________ Doco "where am i going and why am i in this handbasket"author unknown

Listen to him talk about it with Clarkson, he does respect it, which is why he drives the piss out of it like the designer/builder intended it to be.
Ever notice how many people are an ass towards you? Must be some kind of coincidence....hmmm.....  _________________ Stefan

A woman was on the way to winning $100,000 on a game show, but her final question was suspended for the next night. Her husband sneaked into the studio and found the question and answer. He raced home and told his wife "Your question is 'What are the three main parts of the male anatomy', and the answer is 'The head, heart and penis.'
The woman thinks about this throughout the night, but keeps forgetting the answer. Her husband keeps reminding her, "The head, heart and penis."Come the game show she has forgotten again, and the presenter asks, "For $100,000, what are the three main parts of the male anatomy? You have ten seconds."
"Um... the head."
"Good. Eight seco! nds."
"Um... the heart."
"That's right. Five seconds."
"Oh... um... damn.
My husband drilled it into me last night and I had it on the tip of my tongue this morning..."
"That's close enough! You've won $100,000!" _________________ Doco "where am i going and why am i in this handbasket"author unknown

I recently asked my friend's little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be president some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were president what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed.
"Wow... what a worthy goal." I told her, "But you don't have to wait until you're president to do that. You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where homeless guys hang out, and you can give them the $50, you earned, to use toward food and a new house."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"
I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Her parents still aren't speaking to me. _________________ 3 928s, |

A bakery owner hires a young female shop assistant who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties.One day a young man enters the store, glances at the shop assistant and at the loaves of bread behind the counter.Noticing her short skirt and the location of the raisin bread, he has a brilliant idea."I'd like some raisin bread please," the man says.The shop assistant nods and climbs up a ladder to reach the raisin bread located on the very top shelf.The man standing almost directly beneath her is provided with an excellent view, just as he thought.. When she descends the ladder, he decides that he had better get two loaves, as he is "having company for dinner."As the shop assistant retrieves the second loaf of bread, one of the other male customers notices what's going on and requests his own loaf of raisin bread.After many trips she is tired and irritated, and begins to wonder, "Why the unusual interest in the raisin bread?"Atop the ladder one more time, she looks down and glares at the men standing below. Then, she notices an elderly man standing amongst the crowd.Thinking that she can save herself a trip, she yells at the elderly man, "Is it raisin for you too?""No," stammers the old man, "but it's quivering a little bit." _________________ Doco "where am i going and why am i in this handbasket"author unknown
