Based on the terms they laid out back when they were in Turkey...
No matter what kind of nonsense people try to feed you—it’s all just noise. They have barely any capacity left, and they can keep pushing this agenda as far as they want. Honestly, those EU sanctions haven't even made a dent; it’s like they’ve completely lost sight of that dream of theirs.
In the end, they’re going to get exactly what they set out to achieve in Ukraine, one way or another...

I'm jumping in here to support this inquiry. I’ve reported some pretty heavy insults directed at forum members twice now, and absolutely nothing has happened...

I’ll weigh in here too. It feels pretty pointless to tolerate a few users who—whether out of pure spite, a bad buying experience, or maybe even some underlying business interests—decide to troll everyone because they can't stand how much Japanese brands dominate the AC market. They try to act like cheap, budget options are on the same level as high-quality solutions.

Then, as soon as people naturally react to that, the whole thread gets locked.

So, what’s the logic? If someone finds the direction of a majority discussion annoying for whatever reason, is it enough just to send in a couple of trolls to get the topic permanently shut down?

There’s a big difference between harmless banter, like when Mark Sullivan62 is just messing around, and this current situation that keeps forcing these locks.

Either cut down on the trolling or just let the conversation flow. Locking threads isn't the answer.

I’m on board with this. I didn't see any hate speech here.

So, did you end up signing it or not?

Paul Johnson said:It’s all easy to fake. An IRS agent could just claim they saw the equipment, or say I confessed to owning it. So what then?

But how would they actually prove that?

The most important thing is to not sign anything at all....

🙄

No, I didn't buy it.
And even if I did, there's no way I would've been celebrating...

wearyraven41 said:Maybe he’s just waiting for Villeneuve Jr. to actually grab a trophy first so he has something worth bragging about!😛 😉

Wait, really? A 10th place finish in the Sauber? 🙂

Has anyone even seen the mustache on that little brat driving the Zil Villeneuve car? 🙂

wearyraven41 said:Give me a break, though I have to admit the blog is solid...

I was messing around on Google earlier, setting the search filters specifically for American sites, and when I typed in Gilles Villeneuve, my own blog popped right up. It even gave me a direct link to the page. 😁

The smart ones will figure out what this blog is actually for eventually. 😁

So, when can we expect an update?

... .... I would love to know what the mechanic had to say to the Gorilla, who had just tried to murder him.

absolute madness 😉

Vittorio Brambilla is such a wild man.
He’d probably be better off playing professional football instead...

As far as I know, there's also this other bit—I have no idea if this story is true, but it's a good one.

Even if it were in the States...
Ugh... I'm really not feeling this post. But, oh well... I'll get through it.

wearyraven41 said:Man, I wish I could have downloaded everything Gilles Villeneuve did. I’ve only got one 35MB file, which is probably that specific video...

Thanks👍

Man, if I had twelve unlimited data plans,🙂 I'd have every single F-1 clip ever made.
The way it is now, I've only managed to grab all the crash footage.🙂

Ashley Cook64 said:That isn't dark humor; it’s just straight-up twisted.🙂

I guess you would've found Mike's accident hilarious too, along with Ralf's...

Well, that depends entirely on the context...

Anyway, shouldn't you have been tucked into bed by 9 PM?

Ashley Cook64 said:If you were actually trying to be funny here, I’ll be honest—it didn't land at all. 👎

I guess some people just don't get dry humor...
BTW, this just popped into my head because I'm currently downloading that old '94 Watkins Glen footage from a P2P site...

stormyviper11 said:I’d much rather focus on the good memories instead of those two unfortunate Suzukis...

Indy? 😁

urbanmoose3 said:I think Stanley mentioned that Formula 1 will be on PBS for the next three years or so..

Honestly, who actually listens to him...
Just a quick thought I jotted down. 🙂

stormyviper11 said:Hold on, I don't quite get it. How would that actually be any different from watching on PBS?

Well, the difference is you'd be stuck watching the races exclusively on ABC or RAI. 🙂

Donna Nelson23 said:I saw this pop up on the news somewhere, but it was honestly so good I just had to share it. Lesson learned: we should aim for more moments like this on PBS...

Man...
If only Blazic would come back... I can already see myself sitting there with the remote in hand, finger hovering over the mute button the second he starts yelling. 🙂
Those were the days...

By the way, that headline actually gave me a bit of a scare. For a split second, I thought you were being serious... 😠

urbanmoose3 said:Schumacher spent the whole race stuck in 7th. Honestly, coming from the "best driver" in the best car, I was really hoping to see some actual progress... ☕

Congrats to Montoya. If next season plays out like how this one wrapped up—with 1. Montoya and 2. Kimi Räikkönen—he’s in for a ride. 🙂

Yeah... maybe that's how it goes... over at McLaren...
As for the championship? It'll be 1. Michael Schumacher followed by 2. Barrichello... nobody else really matters.

The best car? Maybe if you look at the whole season, but definitely not here in Brazil... I can't tell if it's a tire issue or if Ferrari just stopped refining the thing altogether.

mistybear87 said:I didn't say they have to admit he's the best, just that they should admit he's good.
It's hard to judge how talented someone really is unless you're sitting in the exact same car. After watching yesterday, it seems like Kimi Räikkönen and JPM are hovering somewhere in the middle, which is why I mentioned next season is going to be an absolute mess for those two. 🙂

You don't even need data to see who's got it and who doesn't. Personally, I don't think Monti has the championship caliber, especially if he's stuck in an inferior car.
Then again, if everyone was driving identical machinery, racing would get pretty dull...
But I definitely agree with you on one thing—next season is going to be a wild ride.
