I'm I the only one sorely missing mr. Kincaid?

[bira]

he's due this week. Relax

[HSJ]

The latest is just too much! http://www.atlasf1.c...ew/kincaid.html

Kimi, Jacques, Newey, Rubens, Budweiser, Williams team members going to ask for a raise from McLaren, it's all so ****ing brilliant!

[The Force Ferrari]

Oh right when I read funny pit stop I thought it was some refference to McLaren team orders.

He's making me forget about Dan Rather.

Indeed

[bira]

pfft, he's much better than DR

[mtl'78]

Well, I did say I was forgetting about Dan, so I'm not sure what we're arguing about!

[mtl'78]

I thought about it and I think it would be great if someone could do an interview with Reginald...

He seems to have led a very interesting life being in the Hussars, high-speed camel expiditions etc...

You bastards! My keyboard is ruined, covered with coke!

The Ecclestone bit was great, but "Ralf Schumacher Escapes!" was outrageously funny

Luckily, though, Ralf was stalled on the 5-lane highway a few minutes later by an elderly lady driving a Toyota Corolla, which Schumacher was unable to overtake in spite of repeated attempts - allowing FIA officials to catch up.

A BMW spokesperson said after the arrest that although they were disappointed in their driver's capture, the company was encouraged by Ralf's pace when fleeing.

The power outage bit was pretty damned funny also

Classic stuff as usual

This weeks Fuel Stop is hillarious..

Fuel Stop is hilarious!

Loved the fast-food Williams!

This Kincaid fellow would be great to have some beers with!

[clef]

He's done it again!

[Witt]

The 90's piece was hilarious!

corrinna frentzen and the fw14b had me in tears! And the berger joke... bugger it, i admit i struggled reading through the whole piece because i was laughing too hard!

[lukywill]

"berger, alesi and todt watch the smoldering ruins of ferrari's headquartes after yet another great practical joke by the good natured austrian:

[Teez]

Awesome! Best new feature of 2003!

[Bjorn]

[clef]

I gotta say.. I would pay an Atlas subscription just to read The Fuel Stop.. this week's is awesome

[umapathypon]

This week's piece is just brilliant. The Mayor of Imola's contract on Bernie and the choice of the picture are just wonderful.

[Suzy]

I laughed out loud at the Fiorano track being shortened Pity I was in the office at the time... now everybody's avoiding this mad woman who is laughing in the office!

Great to see Reginald back.Great laugh again.

[clef]

Indeed! I haven't laughed out loud like that in ages!

[jcbc3]

Some like steak. Some like fish.

Some like ballet. Some like musical.

Some like it hot. Some not.


I'm pleased you enjoyed the Fuel Stop. I didn't. Does that make me a humourless git? I don't think so.

[clef]

Judging by the tone of your post, I'd have to think so!

[jcbc3]

I just thought that there was too much "mutual appreciation society" in this thread. What's the point of a discussion board without dissenting voices?

That's fine.But your post sounds more like some sort of an arrogant self assurance borne out of fear that something might be wrong with you for not liking the 'fuel stop'.

Now, THAT made me laugh.

[jcbc3]

But was it a confident laugh? Or did you pinpoint me with deadly accuracy?

I was accurate enough.

Ah,i thought this was a discussion forum..points,counter points etc..just that the tones in which they are expressed can sound rude.i can see that you got the point now.

[jcbc3]

Hmmm, I seem to remember from page two that the posters immediately above mine "only" posted their personal opinions about the column.

I thought I'd join the fun and post my opinion too. However I qualified my own opinion as contrary to others opinion that I realised that I didn't have a monopoly on the right opinion by stating that taste is different. (I think you should get that much from my original post).

I then also said that in my personal opinion I am not 'humourless'. That is, I stated my own opinion on myself.

I realise that stating my own opinion on myself is an open invitation for other forummers to give their opinion on me, and not on my opinion. Which someone did. Which is ok.

But how this, in my opinion, fair résumé could end up in you accusing me of being arrogant or behaving arrogantly (there's a subtle difference) I don't quite get. Please discuss.

And you seemed a bit (judgemental?) about me so I threw in a little quote I just remembered. Just to see if that would make you respond. Which it did. Like pushing a button.

Wouf, wouf, ding, ding, drool...............................

[umapathypon]

yeah.i can see whose buttons have been pressed.The only reason i am even responding is because i am waiting for a friend at work all prepared to leave. but you surely are of the self absorbed attention seeking type as much as i am judgemental(i'll give you that even if your initial post had a c'mon discuss tone to it).

[jcbc3]

This is funny. I was about to post, that it's a slow day at the office here, so I could keep up this infantile discussion for at least an hour more. And that I have plenty buttons myself.

When I say infantile it's meant to reflect the fact that someone think they can pass judgemnent on other peoples personality traits from a completely innocent and neutral post like you did. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure you aren't infantile in the real world.

[umapathypon]

yeah.thank you for your kind judgement of my character.

Good to see the fuel stop return. I like it, always liked it and in this issue especially like the maximum points proposal. (maybe we will see it again in the next costcutting proposal ;) )

Is there any chance for fuel stop to return?
