I was walking home from work when I came across this:



Just proves that you should always have a camera on you!! :D

Oh the English get really hyped up about getting the Olympics!!
07/06/2005 02:39:47 PM · #3
I could have seen that with my eyes SHUT!
Dang!

My guess is that in order to allow Ferrari more testing time Bernie is allowing then to drive to Silverstone.

They're fast until they run out of gas.

ha ha ha I'm a Mclaren fan myself... hopefully someone's just stolen it!

Wow! What a find - glad you had your camera with you!

Well they have proved that while running against the best that Jordon and Minardi have to offer they can post a convincing win

All that money into the car, and they can't afford AAA?
07/06/2005 02:59:48 PM · #10
Silverstone testing, I suppose. They need to do all that this season.
07/06/2005 03:01:29 PM · #11

i wonder how your image compares to the one the woman in front of you shot ;-)
07/06/2005 03:03:30 PM · #13
Love the inclusion of the woman with the cell phone--apparently acting non-chalant while clicking away with the phone's camera feature?

The real issue with the car is clearly written on the small wing atop the side pod! Check out the bloke stopping traffic! Good job.

Yes, the sight of this car was definitely stopping traffic and making several pedestrians slow down (or stop and take photos with their phone cams). I thought it was just a F3000 or similar car at first glance, but then I looked carefully while digging the camera out, and realised that it's a very recent (I don't think it's this seasons model, but could be wrong) Ferrari F1 car. Pity whoever they were getting it out for wouldn't be able to drive it (legally)...

Neat capture Manic, thanks for sharing.

Not for nothing, but are you kidding?? I mean, are you seriously making fun of Ferrari and their record with Formula 1?? One off year and you feel confident enough to make fun of them? Wow! Hopping on the Kimi bandwagon, are we? Hopefully I'm mistaken.

I suppose in the Olympics for the 400 meter relay race, if some of the teams accidentally brought hiking boots instead of track shoes they should just move the race onto a dirt mountain track instead?

They screwed up, they showed up with the wrong technology, happens all the time. It's not the FIA or Ferrari's problem, you can't blame them. They could have raced, they just didn't want to if they couldn't win.
07/06/2005 04:10:14 PM · #18
I think the reason the teams didn't want to race was actually down to safety.
07/06/2005 04:14:50 PM · #19
wait so is this car owned by someone like as a collectable? are these even street legal in the UK?

I've no idea if it was being bought or whatever - I was in a rush to get home - but it's certainly not street legal! :o)

Probably more political muggle girl. The Michelin teams in particulare are wanting to break from Formula 1 and start their new racing federation so they don't have to live under the increasingly pain in the neck F1 rules, and have a bigger share of the fortune that is made each year. Can't say I blame them.

Changing the race track on race day would be unfair to the Bridgestone teams that managed to show up with the right tires.

The problem with Michelin's tires was only for 1 turn on the track, where they could have slowed down. Sure, all the Bridgestone teams would have beaten them ( maybe not Minardi) but they still would be competing against each other for points.

They didn't race because they didn't want to do that, and it was another good way to cause a fight with the FIA.

By the way, aren't you like 2 saturdays away from paradise?? lol
07/06/2005 04:24:00 PM · #22
yeah lol we went last year for my birthday and it was awesome. I know what you mean about the reason being more political, I could see the safety side of it though, but according to the race last weekend, mitchelin are paying for all the tickets of the people that came to see their teams race but didn't... wow, that's gotta be some bill huh?
I love the sound and the smell of the GP, when you see, hear and smell it for the first time, it takes your breath away. Can't understand why people think it's just cars racing round in a circle....weird!
07/06/2005 04:29:50 PM · #23
I mean the release of the new book! lol

Going around in circles would be NASCAR. puke.
07/06/2005 04:34:51 PM · #24
oh ha ha ha yeah that too! I thought you meant the british GP! ha ha well both are paradise for me (",) (blush)
07/06/2005 04:36:00 PM · #25
uh oh,that reminds me, I paid for a deposit on my book, got the receipt and stashed it somewhere... safe? Not sure, am going to have to turn the house upside down looking for it hee hee
