C'mon then, let's hear 'em!

Lagg

Ge'ez... Your lagging really is putting me off!

Curry Burns Originals

My TV just went black!

[Portrait]

Oh DAVE!

Said by Curry Burns in every race I'm involved in

I'm adamant it's always an excuse and at no times EVAR is it my fault!

[Norbury90]

The bleeding Italians on GT5P... you steer round the track, not bounce round off the barriers...

Along with the friendly racers who think that nudging you in the back is the correct way of slowing themselves down for a corner, idiots.

[redbarron84]

Someone else in the race

Blimey, whats happened to Barron? He's at the back.

Me

Yeah, Curry punted me off





or this one?





Me

Godammit!!!!!

Curry

Sorry!






or how about this one?






Someone else in the lobby

Blimey, that was a close finish Red!

Me

Yeah, It wouldn't have been if Curry hadn't shunted me off the 1st corner!









Oh, and not forgeting







There's a pattern forming here.

I resent that, the rest are true though.

[ih8thisname]

Should we add a heading called "Blame the Scotsman" ??

Wait a minute...

Who needs excuses, when some clever complimentary covering up does the trick just as well?

How about ......

Following Idlewillo's climb back through the field from 7th / 8th on the first lap to finish 2nd in the Nation Cup.

Muz "For my money Chris deserves the Drive of the Day award" - This wasn't an excuse, but merely a smokescreen to cover up the fact that I think I punted him down to 7th / 8th in the first place.

We shouldn't mock the potato farmers too much, he probably thought he was riding a tiger...

Oh and Curry's list is surely endless...

I reckon he was pissed and forgot to open his eyes!

[R360]

Me - Oh fk Curry why did you just smash into me?
Curry Burns - You braked
Me - Yes for the fking corner you gaylord!

[Curry Burns]

Can we change the title of this thread to 'The Curry Burns Appreciation thread'

[ih8thisname]

I was thinking about naming it "The Pistonheads book of racing drivers excuses according to Curry Burns" at first...

Oh of course add that one too, you braked early.....

[aciddrop616]

barron may remeber this one. as i once blamed lift off UNDERSTEER for why i plowed into the barrier on the final corner before the start finish straight on mugello short.

also on same track, me and barron seemed to have similarly powered corrado's but mine was a little down on power but up on handling. so i used t brake later for the first corner. start of the race baron shoots off ahead, i brake late catch up to him, keep accelerator planter round whole corner and slowly start to drift from the apex to the outside. baron just so happens to be between those two points.

all you hear is
Me: "woah woah woah woah wooooahhhhh!!!.......[BANG] ..... SORRY!!!!!" as baron piroettes(sp?) off into a barrier.

probably happened in 5 out of 10 races.

  I once pd on a prostitute

That wiped out a whole evenings racing for me... tears of laughter and all!

• <stupid ttish internet 12 year olds changing the Settings to NO ABS at the last second>

Which is fine if you notice but the 1st corner gets awful messy if you don't!

• I don't have a car fast enough in this category

Applies to all categories

• My favourite is...

<Someone>Why are you at the back Luke
<Luke>Curry punted me so I am working on my Lap Times
At least once a Session does that happen
