retire

after many months of loyal service, i have retired my trusty set of toyo t1-r tires and wheels......... which took place the previous week....



this is what was left of them............... notice the very uneven wear, especially on the right hand side.....



the toyo are great tires..... you can certainly trust your life on them......

a true collector

was going through my HDD and came across this old pic......

this is what i call a TRUE collection ..........haha ............ SIMPLE AWESOME....

hmmmm with this, the problem becomes "which one should i wear today???"

next stop FUJI.....

so after singapore, some quick packing up and the entire f1 entourage goes to Japan....

let's hope for better luck in the land of the risng SUN........

go FELIPE go..! never give up until the end.....

haha i felt deflated throughout the day....... isit the dreaded f1 hangover? nah, i was more disappointed with what happened .....

well i believe they can bounce back..... live and fight in 2 weeks' time....

and not to forget, within the midst of the f1 fever, liverpool notched up another win in the merseyside derby ......... 2 goals by our golden boy fernando torres........ (nothing to do with fernando alonso though)....

ok.... sad to say, it was a sucky MONDAY......

singapore grand prix..... opening lap

track side action.....

sunday shopping

the shirt was on offer so i snapped it up.................... like the colour.... and of cos ROSSI.........!!!!

just in time to celebrate his 6th motogp title............ finally he's world champion again......

what a drag......

yes what an anticlimax........ and what a way to kick off the inaugural singapore f1 grand prix........

the propaganda will tell you what a success it was ..... yeah but where was the racing..????

lewis hamilton spent close to 1/3 of the race stuck behind david coultard and could do nothing about it..........

and having a circuit lined with concrete barriers is making the intervention of the safety car a given...... and surely it happened.......... not once but twice.....

nelson piquet is a party pooper.......... i am eager to find out the reasons for him smashing the barriers.......... was it a mechanical problem or simply driver error????

in all the biggest losers this weekend: SCUDERIA FERRARI.............. cos they never learn their lesson.......... the lighting system that replaced the lollipop man SUCKS big time........ it failed them previously.... and now it failed felipe massa............. totally embarrasing....

wake up ferrari...!!!!!!!!!!!

bad call

i agree with the drivers...........

the position and setup of the pit lane exit is plain stupid.... right smack in the middle of the racing line...........

obviously someone is asking for trouble.....

wake up!!!! wake up singapore GP....!!!

here we go...

ah i must admit the experience at track side is irreplaceable...... it was exciting to catch the cars on tv for practice 3..... but it was still tv

but when i was at the marina bay circuit to witness the qualifying ........ AH that was electrifying...... SHIOK was the feeling.....

u know what? one really has to make an effort to get to know formula 1 to enjoy the race at the circuit................ fortunately i can recognise most of the drivers just by looking at the helmets and the colour of the camera pods........... if not there is no other way to know who was in the scarlet car than just went by.......... and they are FAST........ even at the braking areas, what's more the faster parts of the circuit.....

even experienced commentators are mistaken....... either sometimes or most of the times..... but they are professionals and should live and die by the "sword"......

so if you are right there, ask me........ i'll tell you who's in that car.....

kudos to felipe massa ....... he drove a stomper of a lap in the dying minutes of q3 .......P1 is the result........ i hope he wins tonight........ so GO FELIPE GO...!!!!
