The Automotive Thread

Postby CorpseThrust » Sat Sep 04, 2010 4:13 pm

I bet you saw it coming.

This is a thread for two of the best inventions man has ever made : Bikes and Cars. Whether you're a bike riding enthusiast, a fan of sports/super cars, an ardent follower of F1/Nascar/MotoGP/Endurance racing/D1 drifting/any other racing event involving a vehicle, a regular viewer of TV shows involving cars or bikes, or just another car connoisseur with massive amounts of witty jokes under your sleeve (read Jeremy Clarkson), then this thread is for you.

Share your views on what's your favourite car and why, or discuss your first time with your car/bike (coz no one gets it right the first time)

Alright, let's get this thread rolling motorheads!!!

Hmpf.

Whatching autosports on TV is dull. I can sit through F1, but yeah, Nascar and Rally bye-bye. WTC, and some other less popular motorsports... Meh. I guess watching races live is cool. [shrug] Haven't ever been to one. :/

Bikes? Like to ride 'em. Simply, easy and efficient, while also healthy. Cycling as a sport? LOL. Boring, but very challenging (and unfair, with dirty moves I must add).

Fave cars: Lamborghini, um, ah...

I will have to update this list, I can't think of the real names ATM. [thumbsup]

Wait, scratch that. I don't like motorbikes in general (they are cool though) and motorbike sports don't interest me.

I was talking about bicycles. [lol]

Due to her friend's critical accident that has happened with a bike before, my mom has forbidden bikes for me and is so eager for me to drive a car instead. -_- Well, that's what I think anyway.

Not that bikes interest me anyway.


I like Rally cars and old F1 stuff from the 90's were good times.

There is only 1 place to go when it comes to cars

We were together in the night, and then she left me. At first, I had a painting of her in wood, then I had a relief of her in marble, and then, I had a picture of her... in my mind. But now, I no longer have even that.

If you have no love in your heart for the brilliance that is Jeremy fucking Clarkson, you have no soul.

Also, this FTW.

All 3 presenters have their own little place within the show.

Jeremy Clarkson (Jezza) - Idiot, funny and likes speed so he gets to test drive the most cars
Richard Hammond (Hamster) - Normal bloke but lacking in height
James May (Captain Slow) - Technical, boring person, dosen't test drive many cars and is slow

I'm all about motorsports, F1, Indycars, Grand-Am Road Racing, Endurance Racing for me.

I just like road racing more than NASCAR, Even though that NASCAR is a popular sport in the USA, endurance racing had show some exciting racing, especially in the GT class in the ALMS, the LMP class gets boring to watch at times especially the 24 hours of Le Mans with the Audi and Peugeot blows the comptition away, with those diesel engine they running, they gonna to make fast lap times like 3:19 to 3:23 while other LMP cars runs 3:27 at the 24 hour race.

I like sportscar racing better!
