Excellent. Went last year to both days, but can only make the rally this year. Some of the best spectating i've ever had.
Do we still need hi-vis kit for the rally again this year?

What I dont understand is that most Tv ads and shows seem to have been centred around football for the last month and
A. It hasnt started yet
B. Its not even in this country
C. All the idiots will be too busy watching big brother
D. Everytime I see a car with England flags on I rip them off even though Im hugely patriotic

In short I hate all this football SHITE and will either be racing or downloading races to try to save myself from the stupidity that has engulfed this country.

I would much rather watch a documentary about bridges then football

Sorry bout the rant

Fair enough, know how you feel - if anyone doesn't like the rant it's not like it's on TV all the time!

Still, I'm off to Lydden on Saturday, Brit GP on TV on Sunday and off to Le Mans next week. When all the matches are on the roads will be that bit quieter. And not long after I've stopped buzzing after Le Mans, England will have been knocked out and the world will return to normal

I'm in a house full of football fans I fear the next few weeks evenings are mostly going to be spent walking too and from the local pub, with much consumption of alcohol in between. The pub has no TV and the owners dont seem keen on football, it's going to be a hard time, but I think I'll cope

Seems I'm surrounded by football chumps...

I live/breath racing... sadly everyone I know don't...


A. Footballers are tts.... boring game! at best a player stubs a toe

B. Motor racing - real men and real danger = much fun

C. Football seems to attract chavs/scum like flys round shit..


Would I rather kick a bag of air into a net curtain on a frame... NOPE

Would I rather drive a car 160mph round a corner :-) Yep

There ya go

My 2p..

If it don't run on gasoline, I ain't interested!

I used to follow football a bit, up until about the early 80's, when I became disillusioned with the hype, and money that was spoiling the game. I almost became interested when one of the TV channels started playing some south american games, where they play real football (fast, kick-n-run - get the ball in the net), compared to the tactical boring "look we drew nil-nil, ain't that great" English crap.

These days, the only time my eyebrows may rise to the term "football" is when the words "Australian Rules" is put in front of it.

The Australian Rules game should be adopted here. You are not allowed off the field unless one of two things have happened.

1. The half/match has ended and the ref says you can go to the pub now where vast quanitities of tinned beer awaits.
2. You're dead, and being carted off to the morgue.

None of this "ooooo me toe hurts" rolling around the floor.

Honest ref, I was going for the ball (after poking an opposing player in the chops!)

There's no fighting in the crowd. It's all on the pitch!

But like someone said....

Kicking a bag of wind into a net curtain,
Cornering at 160?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Pulling just under 190 before the Esses at Snet... yep, then braaaaaaaaaaaaking.
Happiness is navigating via the side windows.

I went to a resturant during the ingerlund game, and had a cracking meal. the place was almost empty normally you cant get a table unless you book about a week in advance we just walked in. great drive home on empty roads too.

I would say i hate football, I'll quite happily have a kick about with a few mates if we've got time to kill. But what i cant stand is the constant forcing it down my neck in the media... and all the fat chav scum walking around in football t-shirts when half of them couldnt see a foot ball at their feet due to stella belly.....
