Sauber back to Le Mans
« on: October 18, 2010, 06:13:04 pm »
Sauber and Mercedes have agreed to bring back the great heyday of the C11 with this new challenger.


Rumors that the budget is tight have been scoffed at by the slap headed team owner.

Hmm classy.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Gary,

I find it hard to believe that you have just delivered such a stereotypical indictment regarding ownership of such a rare beast, which passes more than a nodding wink to the C11.  You need to do some Equality & diversity training mate. 

On second thoughts, spot on.....it beats (hands down) the chavtastic Rover 214i cabriolet, in shocking pink, with rusty wheel arches and ill-fitting hood, complete with big boy chav can, seen at the PH Silverstone Sunday Service last weekend!

Do you know what, I reckon the design very nearly works! The C11 was always a big slab-sided old tank, a bit like the contemporary Mercs of that day.

PS Nice to see you on here for a bit of light relief Mark  ;)
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

I'm puzzled.  All that effort for a chavtastic Merc, and I didn't think that a Sauber had much Pimp My Ride street cred.

Ok, we are all taking the piss, but I bet if the owner asked if we would like to drive it to Le Mans, we would all say yes please. Well unless you already drive a Ferrari , Porsche, Lambo or such.
