Suh-weet!!!

View attachment 611229 someone said Bond didn't drive this car!

We must educate the poor person. 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' - one of the best Bond films. He also drove it in 'You Only Live Twice'. Nice picture!

@src_ej6, for the second time in 24hours I say: 'Suh-weet!!'

Looks cool, I might come back this week.

You left?

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Last few weeks didn't interest me too much so I haven't been showing up. It's like I have to be there every week as I'm not a job holder in my division.

Miseducation maybe!

The 2000gt only appeared in You Only Live Twice and Bond never actually drove the car. The 6'2" Sean Connery couldn't fit in the cockpit which was designed for a driver around 5'5" and that's why the car used in the film is a convertible and all the standard production cars had a roof. In fact, the actress who was portrayed driving it couldn't drive so a small bloke with a wig was doing the driving!

You can see how cramped the driving position is here with Jay Leno at the wheel:

I stand embarassingly corrected. I was sure it was in the other movie as well.

You have a reason to come back - so I can kick your butt!!! (well, I guess that's really more of a reason for me...)
Gauntlet has been thrown buddy...

 

[DesertPenguin09]

You can't throw a gauntlet, you wear a gauntlet on your hand. Therefore I have already won. Nice try

TT Rooms are updated to new combo's!Enjoy

 

[Adramike]

Le sigh... I have to move TV's since I moved my stand into the spare bedroom.. This Roku TV doesn't have the r/b/g/audio outputs and if I hook the ps3 up via hdmi cord I have no headset sound with either the older afterglow (plugs into r/w audio slots) or the cheap turtle beach one no matter what I do to the settings.. How annoying.

Forever lurking.

Off an on these days but, sometimes, ya' just gotta step up and slap a penguin, however gently or brutally.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

[Rednose58]

It will be interesting to watch the Alien Life forms attain the indicated 2:04, and better (?), at Cote d'Azur tonight.

Also the recommended method for undoing the Junk Yard that will occasionally present itself at the Harbor Chicane.

For the bus stop you want to stay full throttle out of Tabac working your way all the way left at Piscine and late apex tight right to the Armco on the right side at T15 then immediately turn left into T16 working your way out to the right wall. At Rascasse try to take as straight an entry as possible and stay in tight powering out WOT in 2nd all the way through T18, do not lift. Also, only go to first at the Grand Hotel Hairpin. You can see the track map in the last post of the previous page.

I will need to print the Track Map - and then read your Tips again.

Thank you for being so specific.
What does "WOT" mean? I'm lacking in the abbreviation dept.

Wide Open Throttle Tex, pedal to the metal

Wide Open Throttle, floor it.

Also at Nouvelle Chicane you enter from the far right wall almost clipping the armco on the left entering the chicane, keep the left wheels on the curbs and stay inside so you can again exit WOT in 2nd gear.

U WOT M8?!

"....keep the left wheels on the curbs...." I thought the left wheels had to stay in contact with the track.
I must not understand the OLR in regard to that issue.

Rosberg retires. Now the bigger question; Who does Mercedes go after to fill the spot? It's the best constructor out there. Who jumps ship to move there, as all the big names are already under contract? I would love to see Vettel take the seat, but I'm a Vettel fan (yes, I know he's a whiner). Another German racing for the German team.

But, could you imagine Verstappen moving to Mercedes to team up with Hamilton? Both are young and super fast. I think Verstappen would be the best choice, as he's has the most potential for future improvements.
