Was I actually doing anything or just doing a good impression of Danny Mac's bike double/accent?

Lewis had to change his gearbox so he should've started from 20th but the FIA have also decided that both Toyota's diffusers are actually illegal and so they're starting from the pitlane meaning Lewis starts 18th effectively. TomN- no that's been deferred until 2010 (maybe) due to the FIA being complete f*%ktards.

I'm afraid I kinda need them!!

He's the guy that used to do the radio commentary isn't it? Never listened to that but from what I saw of the quali it sounded like Martin was almost cringing at some of his comments!

McLaren are down on downforce from the sounds of it. They're actually advertising for aerodynamicists at the moment which is the first time in months and gives an impression that they really are in a bit of trouble! Provided Brawn have the reliability to back up they're raw speed I think they're pretty likely to take the win... and with Brawn on the pitwall as well I'd say they're in a good situation!

Pretty sure Matt can't make this anymore because he has a Stag doo to attend.

After the pre season testing I was so sure that Brawn were doing something sneaky to make them 'appear' fast to attract sponsors and get some media coverage... seems like they really were ahead of the game all along! Which is kind of weird considering the fact that in theory they shouldn't have had nearly as much development time over the Winter. Ah well, best of luck to them- British team with a British sponsor and a British driver (and I've always liked Rubens too!)... go Brawn!

DO IT!!

Have you looked behind the fridge? It always amazes me the things that fall behind there.

But you can buy those here... (legally).

Is it a gun/tazer/nightstick/flick-knife/etc.?

Took them f@*&ing long enough!!

I imagine their response would be along the lines of 'Umm, we're in China... what do you expect us to do about it?'. I'd go with trading standards, the police or a personal visit if I were you Chai.

Really? Hours of fun changing song names there... "you are listening to: 'Pigs Anus' by the Homophobic Japanese Womens' Guild".

Just sitting there you say? . How soft do you reckon they are compare to Maxxis Slow Reezay's or something? Need a pair of knobblies for doing comps on with the Inspired...

I had the same problem with my first Echo EM2. I ended up changing my gearing to 18:13 to help take up the extra chain slack. Not ideal but an option. Edit: How many freewheels do you need?!

Are you sure? You were talking about excess skin sites the other day...

High roller's are really sticky tyres which are great for natural but really aren't much cop for a more streety setup. Go for something like a DMR Moto or Holy Roller instead unless you're planning riding rocks and comps etc.

As good a reason as any

Just gives me another excuse when it inevitably goes horribly wrong... "damn, I would've done that on the Monty..."

Pijin .

Well at the moment I'm leaning toward sticking with the 24"... I've already got a few enquiries about the Monty so it may well be going pretty soon!

That's pretty much the same as 18:13 and I agree that it's my gear of choice too. I'm running DMR Moto RT's- 2.2" front and 2.4" rear and get on fine with them. Not great for puncture protection but run a little more pressure and they're good tyres.

Slightly harder. Do it with 'gear inches': (18/16)*26" = 29.25. (18/13)*24" = 33.23. (18/14)*24" = 30.86. (18/15)*24" = 28.80. Mr Lee: That doesn't take wheel size into account.

I'm actually quite chuffed with coming 2nd in Expert on a bike with silly sized wheels and a seat!
