I thought the same thing. While the doctored images looked like the work of pre 2000 Frans MSH.

Anyway - whoever did it - I liked it! :clap:

You've never seen Regi's columns in the press before? Anyway, I think even karlth would tell you in all honesty that whatever similarity you might find is down to karlth taking after the style of Kincaid. After all, they say imitation is the best form of flattery, no? (no offense to karlth intended here, btw!)

Dan Rather must be a big fan of Kincaid as well.

He has been back since then, he posted something in RC not that long ago. :up:

Really enjoyed that part about Wilson getting a Ferrari engine from Sauber garage. :lol:

I guess you can choose not to read it in future. :)

I have to say I am ambivalent about it yet. I will give it time to develop though. I don't always (usually) get the humor the first time around. I have to understand the style.

I love it, it very good. A bit short, but I guess "finding" the right pictures takes some time too.;)


But still, nothing cracks me up as much as Mitch McCann's early editions of the F1 Insider. Oh Mitch, where aret thou? :drunk:

I thought the Montoya wedding joke was trashy and predictable, but the second part about Justin Wilson's height was great.

As we all know from the BBs on AtlasF1 F1 seems to generate particularly lame humour. At last something genuinely amusing. Well done to Reginald Kincaid!

"He probably liked the way that I held the umbrella over the car," said Amber. "I've been training for weeks and this Sonna guy probably did it in a similar way."

Just to let you guys know, I laughed quite a lot reading "The Fuel Stop" in the Monaco issue. :up:

Since the free freelance writers have disappeared from the Readers' Comments section, this is welcome stuff.

"The Fuel Stop" is definately a big reason for me to continue my subscription to Atlas F1.
