Title: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Paddy_NL on December 11, 2006, 12:12:15 am Let me try something different here.
Someone posts a picture, the others have to guess how/what/where/when. I'll start off with this (easy) one. What happened here? Who were involved? Where was it? What year? ps. this is my own picture ;) Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 08:19:25 am Pierre Kaffer - 2004 LMES race at Spa? ;)
Audi's prototype diesel before they had the particulate filter system sorted ;D Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Paddy_NL on December 11, 2006, 10:45:32 am Very correct indeed! Anybody else something to guess?
here's the same car, driving through the pitlane... Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: knetter on December 11, 2006, 11:25:00 am No not the diesel particulate matter, but it had something to do with another car.
What car, what color? Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 11:36:13 am Was that Warren Hughes in the purple TVR?
Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Paddy_NL on December 11, 2006, 12:12:35 pm Right again, Muzorewa 8)
Your turn now ;D this is what was left of the TVR :( Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 12:35:56 pm Hmmm, I've got plenty of touring-car material to go at but not much GT/prototype stuff.
Anyhow, anyone care to comment on what was going on here...... (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i188/Muzorewa/Dscf0248.jpg) Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Mr. Invincible Mou on December 11, 2006, 12:46:42 pm ???
Looks like someone is trying to exterminate several hundred wasps with some powdered poison. Either that or someone misread the plans for a new temporary chicane, and decided to put in a curve of cocaine ;) Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Bob U on December 11, 2006, 12:50:59 pm Is it Rentakil cleaning up Sebastiaan's flat after we stayed there ;D
Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 01:27:50 pm On the Sunday at Le Mans this year, behind the grandstands, there were this bunch of ugly critters loitering around, not sure what they had found to eat but they seemed to think it particularly appetising. An hour later, the stewards had realised the possible safety hazard and summoned a specialist to despatch them to hornet-heaven or wherever they go

Post by: termietermite on December 11, 2006, 02:58:56 pm A delightfully French response I thought at the time. The guy handling the stuff was dressed for a nuclear attack while thousands of people in shorts and t-shirts looked on!
Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 07:57:43 pm Ok, can any of you Dutch-types explain the script behind this sad Spyker?

Tom Coronel at Donnington this year. Wrecked the rear axle because he was too enthousiasticly taking the curbs. Earlier that day he nearly wrecked his front bumper too, by waving at us and nearly colliding with the car in front of him during the warmup lap ;D Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 09:23:27 pm Tom Coronel at Donnington this year. Wrecked the rear axle because he was too enthousiasticly taking the curbs. That doesn't sound like Tom's style at all ;D (http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i188/Muzorewa/TomCoronel-1.jpg) Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Paddy_NL on December 11, 2006, 09:29:45 pm Excellent picture ;D
How 'bout this one? What's my personal touch in it? Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 11, 2006, 09:36:47 pm Erm - you've gathered up all the broken bits into a neat pile? ???
Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Paddy_NL on December 11, 2006, 09:47:09 pm ;D
No, the PlanetLeMans-sticker was made by me. My first time for combining lettering and motorsport back in '04 8) Still volunteering to do the Dome for RfH one day ;) Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: LangTall on December 11, 2006, 11:34:58 pm That's the Lola on Spa 2005 right? That was some clash in the fog. ;D
Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: hgb on December 12, 2006, 08:31:55 am Ah, that's all too easy. ;D The last picture shows the remains of the Jota Zytec at Spa in 2005 after the driver (I think it was John Stack at the wheel) dumped it and a 550 Ferrari in a huge pile up at Les Combes in the fog. Not good. :-\
Speaking of Tom Coronel, I remember him driving the Lister Storm during the FIA GT round in Hockenheim in 2004. With only a couple of laps to the finish line a fuel pipe burst setting the car alight. It was a spectacular ball of flames. I was at the other end of the track but you could see the huge clowd of smoke. Thankfully, he managed to get out unhurt. Next thing he did when he came back to the pits was to hastily prepare himself for the FIA Touring car race which came afterwards. :o Title: Re: Quizzing through the winter period... Post by: Muzorewa on December 12, 2006, 07:38:09 pm He's a star, Tom Coronel. The word on the street is that he's got a works drive for Seat in next year's WTCC. He certainly whooped some of the works cars this year in his GR Asia car, although to be fair he didn't have the ballast that some of those cars had. But good luck to him all the same ;)
