TheShaun:Stephen, you look a little like Lewis Hamilton.... and nothing like your avatar
TheShaun:Matt, I'm a huge F1 fan. Racing has been a passion of mine for a long time. Like many young boys, I had dreams of being a professional racing driver, sadly I didn't come from money. I was able to race F2000 here in Canada for a few years, then went on to being a racing/performance driving instructor for a few years after that. Eventually I had to get a real job.
TheShaun:Matt it's like that in most places. One of the most memorable moments in my life was when I went to a racing school to work as a mechanic and train. We were a bunch of guys who came from around the world and met in one place with one thing in common, racing. I had never had so many people to shoot the breeze with about racing.

That had to be pretty awesome. I know plenty of people who are into racing here, but it's all about NASCAR. Most people have barely heard of F1, and even if they have, they don't respect it, most like other forms of racing.

"If it ain't NASCAR, it ain't sh!t"... EFF that. Not to say NASCAR racing is an easy thing, but F1 is head and shoulders above and beyond in terms of real driving skill. I'd like to see any ONE of the NASCAR "greats" to go against even a rookie F1 driver, I really would... Edit: Just my two cents, venting some frustration on the lack of F1 coverage here in the States..

Edit: Just my two cents, venting some frustration on the lack of F1 coverage here in the States.. Hays, Jeff Gordon and Juan Montoya did a car swap when Montoya was still in F1. I think they called it trading paint. You may be able to find it online. Do you get SPEED TV? It's a US based channel. I get get here, and think their coverage of F1 is pretty good. They have a good pre-race show and a couple F1 based programs, and for each race they show the practice session, qualifying and the race. On the Canadian channel they show qualifying and the race, but the nice thing is they provide the European feed.

MartyIts SOP around here for the thread to get derailed, just be glad its not about burros and commies. Actually Lassy does most of the derailing around here, seems like he's been slacking a bit.
bacon.jay:This is me and a friend when I was still up at school. Unfortunately she was ONLY a friend... she was foxy...
alienmisprint:I found the avatar on google images, just changed the background color and the cigar color (it was white, supposed to be a joint I think, lol) with Photoshop. For the big picture, I just took the avatar, blew it up to 8x10, and put a filter on it (Sumi I think). I probably should draw up my own, lol, but I'm lazy.
TatuajeVI:This is from a recent vacation with the wife. I'm in the middle.
Sandman1am: TatuajeVI:This is from a recent vacation with the wife. I'm in the middle. Phil won't your wife be mad when she see's you were hanging around another woman on your vacation? Of course you are leaning more towards that dude......I'm guessing this was one of the times you told her you were picking your Fantasy Football Team huh?
