If you ever visit the UK let me know, I'll gladly take you down to Silverstone and show you what driving actually means. There are also a couple of straight bits you might do great in

Go to the Nurburgring. Seperates the men from the boys and has more then one overseas tourist who thought he can drive on it's kill board.

The Nurburgring is great for watching too, for 'regular' folks! The first time I was there I saw a guy crashing in front of me with his Opel speedster, very entertaining! ( He was not hurt )
Another great race track is francorchamps ( Spa), was there last Monday.

I never said otherwise. Your comprehension level has dropped significantly below raaaid's.

Regardless, I can't be bothered to check, but, I would not be surprised if the definition of an utter clown included some mention of taking a specific point in time, such as when a garage is not 100% clean, and generalizing that point in time to eternity. As has been so clearly stated before, some people actually WORK on cars which, by definition, will get things a bit dirty.

Yes, I do. Do you seriously believe Ford, GM, Toyota, etc. don't have an equal amount of engineering in their racing programs?

Do you know how to be any more vague in your ridiculously pathetic statements? I mean, SERIOUSLY, you haven't responded specifically to anything I have posted. Just meaningless generalizations with absolutely zero topical content.

Your inability to comprehend my posts exceeds raaaid's. I'll say it slower...

I never said anything about a lack of engineering effort on Ferrari's part. I merely stated that your belief that Ferrari's production cars are, "engineering marvels", is ridiculous. They are practically hand built for Pete's sake. It's easy to produce a hot car when you take that approach.

An engineering marvel is something that kicks a$$ AND lasts.

Case in point. You have said NOTHING in the above statement. Additionally, the original was the GT40, not the GT.

Why won't you answer my question with real substance and/or detail?

Furthermore, I never stated that the Ford GT (or any other car for that matter) would not have problems so your repeated mention of Clarkson is just drivel.

I love your double standard of Ferraris are great despite their WELL KNOWN horrible reliability and absolutely stupid maintenance requirements but ONE guy's story of the troubles he had with a Ford GT and therefore the Ford GT is a piece of junk compared to a Ferrari.

You never asked me to explain.

It's pretty simple though. If you could read at a sufficient level you would have noticed where I previously stated how good the older models look. Combined with their investment value and the model I'm interested in, it's not a hard decision.

He's an idiot. What do you expect?

There's people that talk about cars from what they learn in a magazine. And then there's people that know about cars from experience building them. I'd say in his case he hasn't even reasearched very well. Obviously he has no experience.

Farrari? Pffff.... I was working on a milionaires house (10 bed rooms each with a bathroom and shower/bath), he bought and sold limited edition cars as a dealership. He had a farrari. There I stood in awe as he started it up...

Then I was very disapointed as it sounded like a bag of spanners falling down steel stairs... Several months later it caught fire just sitting there...

What kind of superb engineering:
  • Sounds like an assault on your ears?
  • Catches fire doing nothing?
  • Requires servicing at a much higher frequecy than nearly all other cars?

You'd need an F1 team to keep it going. Thats not what I'd call "Superb Engineering".


Ermm SturmJaeger II? I thought you were Italian but lived in the UK?

I dunno guys. I had a Hot Wheels Ferrari that went like stink and beat the Ford Mustang Mach 1 hands down every time. It was bright red and the Pony was yellow which may have been a factor.

There's nothing to argue about. There's some people that have actually raced cars and others that type on the internet saying they are good drivers because they own an old bag of crap alfa.

Good drivers would accept a racing challenge especially with the amount of money I'm willing to lay on the table. But as I very well figured from the get go, the white flag was raised by the other party that will not accept the challenge because A.) they don't really have a car. B.) they don't have the money, and C.) because they know they would get their ass handed to them.

I love calling people out on their BS. It would be better to laugh at him in person, but this is fun nonetheless. At least his lies are on the table for everyone to see. Not only can he not drive. He doesn't know the 1st thing about racing.

Just a little hint. There's race tracks in the US as well. Considering the caliber of people I'm talking to here with regards to cars, a simple go kart track is all that would be needed to embarrass you with.
