Comment on F1: Ferrari Blames Mosley For Toyota Exit by Jess

Ferrari is right. F1 should not be about parity or clone racing. It’s about the pinnacle of technology and racing. Manufacturer vs manufacturer, not piddly little soft drink teams competing against the car makers of this world and winning. It’s become a joke. You keep f#$%ing with the rules to create parity and manufacturer will say get stuffed and exit the sport. WRC has been f#$%ed up in the same way, that’s why Subaru and Mitsubishi left. How relevant is WRC now? None of the manufacturers in it produce anything connected to the current cars, I really hate that.

Sport shouldn’t be about parity or salary caps, there should always be underdogs and top dogs. The excitement is seeing top dogs get beaten, might not happen much but when it does it’s exciting. Now all we see are soft drink teams and no name teams with no tradition or history, racing in clone cars with off the shelf engines. That’s not F1!

I would like to see cars getting faster and more dangerous, and I want to see tracks with fast sweeping corners none of this chicane rubbish and stop start safety corners and piss the safety cars off while you are at it. Racing is dangerous and people die that’s why they get paid the big bucks, stop sterilising the sport and everything else in life. Also while smoking is still legal tobacco should no be banned from any advertising, that is ridiculous!

Comment on Toyota Corolla the cheapest small car to repair by Shaun

Maybe it is a girl’s car, but i’ve had one since they released the latest model in ‘07, and its sure made me never want to buy another large car with chrome bits tacked on. The plastic underneath is pretty useless as our 1km dirt driveway can get a bit hairy when rain washes it out, but its been held up by zip ties put there by the local toyota repair team and was said to be ‘temporary’. That was in september 07. Was backed into by a falcon a few months ago and it only cost them $300 to fix up the door panel. Its well thought out and really chuckable through windy roads. I love it.

I purchased a manual Hyundai i30 SX in May 09 and oil was leaking from the transmission case in June. The gearbox was removed and repaired in July and on 7 November the gearbox is leaking oil again. Is this a new car?

Comment on 2009 Skoda Superb V6 FSI, 1.8 TSI And 2.0 TDI First Drive Review by Swuzz

Thanks Trev. A mate in industry suggested same this morning.
At least Superb has a wide range of options so might be scope to get some goddies “thrown in”.
Now just as I’m getting keen on the Supurb wagon my neighbour goes and buys an Octavia wagon so I’ll be looking at a Skoda most times I go in & out of home!
