i'm a little bummed out i missed it i missed the show this monday . i have been working on this F-production MGB 18 to 20 hours a day for the last week now to get it ready for a test day at LRP today so i have missed many show i like to watch . top gear is one of them indycar and F1 are some others .

[n1gzd]

I guess you missed out last night. topgear, F1 and indycar were all on last night.

no the F1 race was on in the morning at like 7 AM then the indycar was on at 1PM i think ?
today i went to watch the F1 race i recorded because of all the hours i have been working i fell asleep at about lap 10 or so i have to watch it again . i'm sure top gear will have that show on a rerun so i will see it at some point ?

Hi Dave, was the MG a wide body yellow one with a silver stripe ? If so it showed up for the fifth/last test session, cut right out in front of me from the pits as I was entering Big Bend and I think he only did one lap. The car look real nice.

[962porsche]

yes that's the car .
only one lap ?
i hope it's nothing i did ? i worked 18 hours plus every day for the last two weeks on that car . 4 link rear , dry sump system , changed out the steering rack for a quick ratio rack ( not a smart idea IMO ) , new ovel tube exhaust system , the list is endless .
he goes to drive the car in the trailer when he picked it up and the thing would not go into gear . who ever installed the trans put the shift lever in backwards . it was not me !
it's a good looking car but who ever built it before i got my hands on it did a crappy job ! to save weight the grade 10 suspension bolts were all drilled out . making them a grade 0 bolt . again not smart ! there are many good ways to save weight on a car drilling out your suspension bolts is not one of them .
the car could be made to be a front runner in FP but it will take alot of work to do so .

ok so i just got off the phone with the owner of the MGB the car did do most of the last test session but the car was braking up at full power . he said the fuel guage was reading 3 LBS at it's highest . it should be around 5 to 6 LBS .

>no the F1 race was on in the morning at like 7 AM then the indycar was on at 1PM i think ?
no they played all three again at night.

reruns .
i know who won the F1 race but i totaly missed the indycar race so i have no idea who won that . i'm sure they will have a rerun of the indy race this week if i did not miss it yet .

rerun

You rang?


In all seriousness..
The F1 vs V8 vs MotogGP bike was pretty slick

IMHO that was the most racing I've seen in F1 in ages. Spa is at the top of my driving bucket list...

[962porsche]

rerun's my hero !

a friend told me mark webber set fast time at SMP . my reply Fred F has not showed up there yet with his BMW !

[n1gzd]

not sure about BMW but he beat Sebastian Vettel in the "reasonably priced car" (but Lewis Hamilton beat both of them).

that was at the top gear test track in the UK ?

some friends and i were talking last night about top gear . we got on the topick of the US top gear show . it that show even on any more ? it really sucked ! i watched it twice and it was not worth watching again after that .

[n1gzd]

yeah, I mean the real Top Gear not the lame US one with the same name.
