  1. For me, it has to be Ayrton Senna. He had such an intense passion for the sport, daring and was a man of great faith. There will never be another like him.

     

    With 65 pole positions, 41 wins and 80 times on the podium in his career, he is thought by many as the best talent ever in F1. :cool:

     

    He met his untimely death in 1994 at San Marino aged only 34 - a great loss to the World of F1.

     

    His legacy lives on. The Ayton Senna Foundation was set up after his death. ‘Senna Tri Campaign’ was launched by his nephew, Bruno last year in Japan.

  2. If we are still talking about the black one pictured earlier i dont like it.Not nearly as nice as a 159 and a step backward in styling.

     

    Agreed....Looks too German, If it wasn't for the grille and the cloverleaf badge I'd

    swear blind it was a Beemer :Confused:

     

    You say 'Beemer' too - that's what I say (a certain Southerner says it's 'Bimmer'

    :whistle:


  3. Morgan! Good to see you mate and thanks for the welcome!

     

     

    Diva, I have to pull you up on a point of pedantry (unlike me, I know :whistle:).

     

    "Beemer" is the nickname given to BMW motorcycles.

     

    "Bimmer" is the nickname given to BMW cars.

     

    Carry on as you were. :D

     

    Well 'pull me up' all you like - give me a light slap even....but we say 'beemer' where I live :P


  4. Morgan! Good to see you mate and thanks for the welcome!

     

    BM update. We are still waiting for the engine to be despatched. I'm starting to get a bit concerned (I'm not known for patience, tolerance or being able not to worry) but all being well it'll be with us soon, so we can get started on this...

     

     

    Good luck with the project Alex!

     

    I personally like beemers (my previous car was a gorgeous Coupe) :cool:
