Max and Bernie have been destroying the sport over the past several years, Taking away all north american races, etc etc etc....its time they both step down and or just disappear.
I hope that the legal actions blowup in their face and that fans will no longer support any form of FIA events. I heard Monaco has also said that if Ferrari is not in the F1 race next year at Monaco that they will not hold the race. That venue is awe inspiring if you ever have the chance to visit it, i was there in 02 when coulthard won. i hope to be able to take the wife to see it one day, even if its not under FIA...i dont want to see spec racing i want to see the best of the best.. we were planning on trying to make SPA next year (we had a great time in Ghent Belgium and want to go back) but now its hard to make plans for something that may not happen.

That is great! I heard that was only for the Ferrari FXX episode though. F1 could use Schumi right now.....
Makes we want to get ch 264 BBC on Direct TV just to see Top Gear. I used to catch it on a couple other channels before.

BBC america is several months behind the UK. Try a bit torrent application and get the episodes within hours of being aired.

Funny thing is that the real Stig is supposedly Damon Hill, whom Mikey shunted, or punted?, a few times over the years and are not on the best of terms.

Shunt is cut off/hard hit with crash, punting is a tap or hit but no crash. More of a touch and go.

The Stig has been several drivers. This is the best article I have seen on the subject.
http://jalopnik.com/5299269/is-the-s...ael-schumacher I thought the fat Stig was a Dorki before I read this article.

I punt is a hit from behind. What happens after that is immaterial. You can be punted into a shunt.

DR, I was joking around, sorta. MS crashed out DAmon atleast twice but made contact numerous times. It seemed that MS had a thing about crashing out competitors, remeber Jaques in '97 (wish I could remember the race) when he went for it and only took himself out giving the title to JV.
