Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

Useless nascar info here!
In 1990, the film Days Of Thunder was filmed. In the 1990 Darlington race, they entered a camera car (#46 Green Chevy, driven by Greg Sacks). this car was used specificlly for footage for the race, altho it was going to run the full distance. It retired 61 laps in with a broken camshaft
Yesterday, the Dale Earnhardt Movie "3" premiered on Americas ESPN. This film use's real footage from real races. In some scenes, taken from Darlinton 1990, the #43 Chevy Camera car is clearly visible.

lol
thats pretty cool tho, how many series would they let you enter a car with a huge camera on it
Trucks is for the Craftsman Truck series, one of the lower NASCAR series (about where F3 is compared to F1)

Who does everyone want to win the title? My personal favourtie Kasey Kahne though it's fairly unlikely, still never say never.
GPLRank: You don't want to know.

thats sad, both are pure legends!
Rusty Wallace
That sounds like an acronym for a sexual disease for males.
As in "after spending the evening with a lady of night, resulted with him having a rusty wallace"
LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Jeff Gordon led the opening session of testing Tuesday at Daytona.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Two-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon was fastest out of the box Tuesday morning in the opening day of Nextel Cup Series testing at Daytona International Speedway; but it was Boris Said who turned the most heads.
With a smaller restrictor plate opening keeping down the overall speeds, Gordon's No. 24 Chevrolet was fastest of the 26 teams at the test, with a best lap in 48.579 seconds, an average speed of 185.265 mph.
Said, driving two different No. 36 Chevrolets, had the second- and third-fastest laps of the 48 cars that participated in the morning session.
Said's "36B" car turned a lap in 48.601 seconds, 185.181 mph. The team's new 36A car was close behind at 48.663/184.945.
The noted road racer Said plans at least a 10-race program this season in cars engineered by veteran crew chief Frank Stoddard and sponsored by Centrix Financial.
