another race today...

N Q ...you are sooo right...the accidents are what makes them exciting...

Mira Bilis, I didn't see Ellen beat them but I certainly would have cheered.

Trix, I've just finished watching the Grand Prix at Monaco. I came back to Opentopia and the first comment I saw was yours about the Indy 500!

trix I'm watching it too but so far it's boring. I hate to say it but it's the crashes that make it interesting to watch !

yes...watching it...bouncing from this to tennis...

The Indianapolis 500 is going on right now and wow what a crowd !

I agree MD .... Top Gear is a rather sad show for adult males who still haven't made it beyond puberty.  However, I was gratified when Ellen MacArthur once beat everyone else in the weekly speed trial on their race track ... that was awesome.  ;)

I always wondered who the Stig was.

Trix, the tape worked ok for me, thank you.  I enjoyed seeing Michael. But I think it was a joke. I really couldn't imagine him working for a crap prog like Top Gear on a regular basis.

And on that note I'm off to bed as it's coming up to 2am for me. I've enjoyed our chatty day!  :D

here is another story on it...we are both right...they have used at least 8 different stigs at various times...

here it is...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCvdTXrXsBc             hope the tape works better on your computer than it did on mine...

Trix, no he wasn't.   :)

MD..you know don't you that schumacher was "the stig" on top gear...

He shows slight signs of improvement. It's almost 5 months now, very worrying.

MD   i do hope schumacher is doing better...

Mira Bilis, shame, hope it soon gets sorted.

I'm pulling up the drawbridge for now .... my internet is currently crapping out about once a minute at the moment.  We've got a guy coming out to check the line tomorrow.  See you all later.  :)

Hamilton's ruling at the moment but I'm not a fan and I don't like Vettel. I prefer Jenson Button. Or Fernando Alonso. Or practically anybody but those 2! I still get updates on Twitter from Michael Schumacher's camp about his progress.

And don't get me excited about UFO's!!  LOL

Is that a wayward UFO???
