What is it with this guy the fight with Sutil then the rumour one of the requirements for a new driver is does Gerard consider him some one he would want to spend time with. Sounds a bit of an odd bod to me. What was the cause of the fight ?

You might want to check your source first. It wasn't Lopez and I don't believe he is a turd actually.

Maybe it's a lesson.

In any case, the situation you are talking about wasn't Gerard Lopez, it was Eric Lux.
Sutil was handed an 18 month suspended sentence, and fined €200,000.

This is Eric Lux:

The scar under his left ear was the result of the champagne glass. He needed 24 stitches.

Still questioning if he's a turd?

I had my facts wrong and I was not aware that smashed glass was used. I think from my question it's obvious that I am not in possession of all the facts hence the question. So please climb down off your high horse cm and try not to let silly posts on the internet stir you into handing out lessons.

Try google.

"Sutil fight" would have brought you plenty of references before starting a posting including "turd or not"?

I think it's quite clear who the real turd is on this thread...

Never let the facts get in the way of a poo story, eh...

OK I apologise I asked a stupid question and deserve to be called a turd. As a fine for such turdery I will make a £20 donation to the Philippines disaster fund.

I note you're on Windows. For future reference, you can screengrab in windows simply by pushing the "PrtSc" button. If you only want to grab one window, select the one you want, hold down "ALT" and push the "PrtSc" button.
It puts the image in the clipboard, you can turn it into a file by pasting it into paint.

Personally I find that easier than faffing about with my phone.

To the OPs question; the former. The idea is you buy it for 1€ and sell quickly for many more.

Using a lot of your own cash to make 2€ is simply bonkers.

Rd a strange coincidence I had to take my mother to the doctors this morning while I was waiting I read an old Porsche mag that was on the table. In the back was an add for a holiday let in the Loire Valley with parking for nice cars. Yours by any chance ?

I think that Lopez is a racer first. That's why I don't think he is a turd. Not cos you mistook him for Lux. Enstone is a great place with many talented people. If genii were turds the exodus down the road would've been much greater.

Yes, the ads will appear again in Porsche Post in December and January.

OT - More to the Lux story than on this thread. Would advise reading around the incident more fully. For a start the glass broke on impact.

Lopez seems an okay guy.

Apparently sutil jabbed him twice in the neck, hence the heavy fine.
