Calm down..... We have a few months to release anyways!! 
And I still recall trying out my selfmade rubber dinghy for the first time that day. I build it all myself from a couple of old tyres, my great-grandma's milking apron and some plumber's helper for stability reasons. Those were the day<s!

LOL Chris.
That was a good one. I know Bratwurst is worse than anything else, so why not calling it Bratworst. And they really stick in your mind, at least at your palate. Did you have your "pommes" with myonnaise or ketchup? At least we don't have this anti-delicatessen attrocity "brown sauce" taht you have with your chips.
Rememer the lecture on "false friends" I gave a couple of weeks ago? Chips is another one. You say chips and mean french fries and we say Chips to crisps. That reminds me that I haven't had proper Walker's salt & vinegar crisps for a long time (since 99 when I was in Inverness, but that's another story).

chris, could you not use the first 5 seconds of commentary from the 1998 french grand prix. I remeber it for some reason as well
Are you a McLaren fan by any chance
?
The start of that race proved in my mind that McLaren had been using some kind of special launch control software that gave them a real advantage over the others at the start. This software "self-destructed" immediately after the getaway. At the first start the McLarens romped away off the line in procession as expected. Of course there was a restart - someone stalled I think. This is when Ron Dennis started moaning, for he new full well that his launch control software was now useless. And LO - the lights go out a second time and whoosh, Irvine flashes past the McLarens and Schumacher is already well into the lead into the first corner. Surprise, surprise. Dennis is foiled again. And then people accuse Ferrari of being cheats. Cuh!

it's called engine mapping mate, and it would seem that mclaren had the better version but not the most reliable one.
to suggest that mclaren were using it and not ferrari is bit of a suprise, it would be curlish not to think that ferarri and other teams were using it too
look how the jordans were stranded at a few races
LS's Tip of the week
ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

LS - are you hinting at the possibilty that Ferrari - *shudder* - cheats??? Are you nuts man? God's own team and cheating? They may bend the rules, yes, but the rest is not cheating. We at the Maranello Fan Club prefer to call it team strategy.
Ferrari cheating, ssssssss

Yes, and it was illegal. In anticipating the wheel-spin, it was effectively a rather primative traction-control system. The whole point that it self-destructed goes to show that McLaren did not wish for it to be discovered.
There a very blurred lines between legality and illegality in the F1 rule book, and while many teams do develop systems that bend the rules, some take it too far and do break them. In my opinion McLaren have done that on several occasions. *cough* 3rd pedal *cough*

the 3rd pedal was only banned because other teams complained, so it was'nt illegal
ron dennis made me smile when he said " rather than rise to the technical challenge it would seem that some teams would rather have a device banned"

Well no it wasn't David because Villeneuve wasn't up at the front of the grid in 1998 anyway was he? At Jerez 97 Villeneuve and Schumacher were along side each other on the grid, and Schumi got a great start, thats why Murray was excited. It was not France 1998. Perhaps you'd better get those tapes checked out
