@Marijo505 - go take a hike.👍

I've been there, and I can tell you that I really don't enjoy being on the receiving end of 7.62, even though I prefer 5.56 myself.

Unless you aren't packing any 7.62, then it’s a completely safe situation.

See? I can't even tell if it's a machine gun or just an assault rifle.

But since everything about this is pure testosterone, let's just say the woman in me got pretty turned on watching that clip.

It's an AK-47 with a folding stock; God knows which specific revision or factory produced it since half the world makes them. It's an imprecise weapon, sure, but it packs massive punch and is incredibly weather-resistant.
In short, it's a soldier's rifle.
In the GIF, you see the version for the right-wingers; there's also a version for the leftists.

Jason Campbell70 said:And what on earth does that have to do with the army.... you dark, gloomy Prisvitli???

He had some, actually. He was on the 5G basket, serving as a dummy we used to toss into the ocean just to practice rescue drills.🎉.

Jason Campbell70 said:Hey, spare me the conspiracy theories. Just skip me with all that nonsense.

Thanks in advance. 👍

Apparently, for the timid little mice among you, anyone else is a fanatic.

The kind of people we actually enjoy dealing with are those who pretend they possess expertise in the military, martial arts, or weaponry.

Step out of your hole so we can actually meet.

Jason Campbell70 said:Ten years of being Vincent? :fajspaln:

No wonder you're such a die-hard fan, Vincent's type are known for being totally out of touch with reality.

Using Krav Maga on the street is incredibly effective—and I’m not talking about training sessions, but its aggressive application in real-world scenarios.

I’m talking about something like this

Unlike you, I’ve actually had the opportunity to implement this in real life, whereas you just hide behind forum walls, my friend Jason Campbell70.

Jason Campbell70 said:And if you were any more valuable, they wouldn't even let you leave the Army.

🤣,stop talking nonsense and get out of the hole you've dug for yourself!

Pilate's is educating and enlightening us, apparently confirmed more times than anyone can count.

To stay on topic (as I said before:

I wonder what Joe would say to this???

So, Jason Campbell70, when are you and I going to have our great American showdown?

Dad’s got five years of boxing, ten years of Wing Chun, and two years of Krav Maga under his belt—plus he served five years in the military before being honorably discharged due to a broken arm.

He’s exactly the kind of guy I need to grab a beer with.

Playboy: When you won The 1988 Japanese GP an you became a World Champion for The First time in Your Life , you claimed that in The Last Two corners Jesus Has appeared for you

Senna: I was just thanking Him for the victory. God gifted me a really hard-fought race where I managed to get victory in the penultimate race of the season as it is the dream of every driver. I was concentrating very much during praying and I started to turn into a long 180 degree corner when Jesus appeared to me. He was huge. He didn’t stand on the floor but He was floating in the air in his usual clothes, with his usual colour and with his figure surrounded by a ray of light. His whole body was rising up to the sky, he was filling the whole space. And while i Had this unbelieveble Vision i was driving a raca Car! Precisely, strongly. Moved as it has to be. Isn’t it crazy? Crazy!

Playboy: You didn’t see anything else?

Senna: Nothing else. It is undescribable. I was talking to Jesus and he appeared. He simply showed himself to me.

Definitely a case for serious psychiatric evaluation.

I agree, it belongs in a psychiatrist's office😁. Honestly, I couldn't tell if he was being sincere or just losing it.

I wouldn't dive too deep into it; perhaps he truly had a vision, or perhaps he simply imagined it.

Regardless, it's an interesting matter.

Either way, Senna possessed a certain aura, which even Sid Watkins noted when describing his experience back in '94.

And it wasn't just him; several others felt it too.

steelmaker83 said:Where and when did Senna ever claim that Jesus appeared to him in the middle of a race or at any other moment while he was behind the wheel of an F1 car?

Never. Not once. Just talking nonsense as usual.

Jason Campbell70 said:What would Guy say about that?

Who cares what Guy thinks! Go ask him yourself, for crying out loud.🙂

Answer my simple questions first, then we can move on to Nigel Mansell.

Jason Campbell70 said:Mario Andretti, what’s your take on credits and low interest rates?

I suppose they're preferable to those carrying high interest rates.😁

Jason Campbell70 said:Wipe us Americans out?
Do you want me to post that GIF again where I'm waving the rifle?

Not just us Americans, but Christians, Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics, and everyone else!

A fog is slowly settling in around us from all sides.

cosmiccyclist8 said:mellowtiger83 is basically saying everything is technically legal if you just bother to actually read the rulebook.

FIA Statement

Per the FIA Code of Conduct, specifically article 56, there's nothing wrong with a car getting hung up on the track and being cleared out by marshals. If the driver manages to get things moving again, they’re allowed to jump back into the race. Where things got messy here—and why it’s considered illegal—is that Ayrton Senna essentially "shortcut" the chicane. Following the crash, Ayrton Senna's car ended up nowhere near the actual section of the track where it was supposed to be.

Of course there's an exclamation point. According to the rules, they should have pushed Ayrton Senna onto the racing line where he’s braking at nearly 200 mph.

I wasn't asking you what the rulebook says. I asked why such drastic penalties were handed out in the first place, and why nobody else before or after faced anything similar for doing the exact same thing.

To put it simply: the win was stripped away over some nonsense where nobody gained an advantage and nobody was even put in danger. On top of that, he gets slapped with a $100,000 fine and a six-month license suspension. It's madness.

Find me the specific section in the regulations that justifies this! It was clearly just a ridiculous decision manufactured by Jean-Marie Balestre.

cosmiccyclist8 said:Well, now you just have to figure out how to actually get that through mellowtiger83's thick skull.

Look, Mario, I understand everything! It's just that I can't make sense of some of your posts (especially yours).

Whether you call it Ayrton Senna diving or not, the fact remains that half his car was alongside Alain Prost when he turned into him before the Apex, which he had clearly signaled he was going to do.

Even if we write this off as a mere racing incident, there are other unresolved questions left hanging.

First off, since when does cutting a chicane result in a disqualification, a $100,000 fine, and a six-month license suspension? You tell me.

I should point out that back then, it was perfectly legal for marshals to push a car along the track, so nothing was violated on that front—meaning the penalty was strictly for cutting the chicane.
What kind of advantage did Ayrton Senna actually gain here? In my view, none at all.

Why wasn't Ayrton Senna disqualified immediately, but instead faced consequences later after Prost reported it to Jean-Marie Balestre?

It honestly pains me to talk about "divebombing" and setup differences (though of course there were setup differences, given that from mid-season onwards, neither Ayrton Senna nor Alain Prost had a 0% chance of seeing the other's configuration).

Watching the race footage, it looks to me like both cars had a Gurney flap, but that's beside the point.

Just explain to me what was really happening here—why was one driver punished so drastically for simply cutting a chicane?

Give us some examples: who else in history has been penalized like this for cutting a chicane, and when?

The whole thing felt like a farce orchestrated by Alain Prost and Jean-Marie Balestre, unfortunately.

And what is this supposed black flag being mentioned?

Answer me that, friend. This isn't about Ayrton Senna vs. Alain Prost for me; personally, I consider Alain Prost better in certain aspects, and they are both top-tier motorsport legends in my eyes, neck and neck.

I am only interested in the truth.

Jason Campbell70 said:I'm American, so I'm Catholic too.

The rest of that reply came from ruggedhawk20, but I'll just add one thing—it's precisely because I believe that I wouldn't even dream of making a claim like that.

There are those who attempt to uproot us in this modern age, and once again, a thick fog will descend.

It is merely a matter of time.

steelmaker83 said:Oh, really? So you don't believe in Jesus?

People like him only believe if they see it with their own eyes, or if they see someone else claiming to have seen it.
It's because of people like that that Jesus was crucified, and honestly, he’d probably end up back on a cross if he showed up today.🙂

As for that other dim-witted text, there isn't even any point in trying to read it, let alone bother repeating it.

Better than best 🙂

Per the FIA Code of Conduct, specifically Article 56, if a car becomes stranded on the circuit, marshals are permitted to clear it. Provided the driver manages to get the car moving again, they are allowed to rejoin the race. The issue here lies in the technicality that Ayrton Senna essentially "skipped" the chicane. Following the crash, Ayrton Senna's car failed to return to the specific section of the track where it originally went off.

Interesting read🙂, regarding how Ayrton Senna was penalized because he didn't push the car back to the exact spot of the accident. It would have been quite a sight to see someone trying to shove a car back into position right where drivers are slamming on the brakes at 180 mph for a chicane!

Then we get to the specifics of how the penalty was handed down.🙂

At the FIA hearing later in the same week, they didn't just uphold the disqualification; they slapped him with a $100,000 fine as well. On top of that, Ayrton Senna was handed a six-month suspension for reckless driving. The FIA actually labeled Ayrton Senna a 'dangerous driver.' Ultimately, though, only the fine stuck. Alain Prost walked away as the world champion.

Ayrton Senna ended up competing in the Adelaide Grand Prix, thinking that if he secured the win and passed the FIA inspections, the championship would be his. Instead, he dropped out on lap 13 following a collision, leaving him to watch his friend Thierry Boutsen take the victory.

When someone gets hit with a penalty like this for supposedly cutting a chicane, it makes you wonder: has anyone else ever been punished for skipping a chicane before or after this?
Nowadays, the worst you usually see for that is a five-second penalty, or if someone gains an advantage by cutting, they simply have to give the position back.🙂
They basically just threw that $100,000 fine at Ayrton Senna and yanked his license—just brilliant execution there.
It isn't worth pointing out that he wasn't putting anyone in danger.🙂.

I suppose cosmiccyclist8 and Jason Campbell70 could clarify things for us and explain exactly what happened here.

No, there wasn't even a hint of injustice toward Ayrton Senna. That's to say, without even getting into the intentional blocking of Alain Prost—which went unpunished—or the fact that Ayrton Senna was robbed of a title opportunity, because had he won in Australia, he would have been the champion under the rules at the time.

So, colleagues, what are your thoughts?

ruggedhawk20 probably stumbled upon this somewhere and, in his usual fashion, cherry-picked whatever parts caught his eye, tweaking the details to suit his own narrative.🙂

Simply wonderful.
