Formula 1 competition 2008

[SeanDezart]

Right, who's up for this, supposing that the scores- master still has agile fingers - ROB !

This year, I'm going to put up a few prizes, just trinkets and maybe a bottle of Champers so reserve your names here - usual rules :

forecasts to be posted here by midnight of the wednesday before a race - exceptions debated following the donation of large bribes and only with a parents' note stating the most exceptional circumstances.......

5 points for a correctly placed driver in the first eight

2 points for a driver placed in the first eight

State who'll be driver and also constructers champion for a bonus prize !

My decision is final and I accept PayPal !

 

[SeanDezart]

Forgot to add :

If there is a tie for winning the bonus prizes for correctly picking the winning driver and constructor, he (or she) who has the LEAST points shall win !


You're going to be battling against a cloggie and 'les froggies' so keep the British end up......'cos they don't like it up 'em, they don't !

Any questions ? No - then sign up !

One thing garanteed this year - no Schumacher in the points !

I'll list the prizes shortly but here's a taste of one of them :

 

[grolls]

i'll try, can you put up a list of who is on the grid so i stand half a chance please? Is Jason Plato and PMAC on the grid?....

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Yes I'll have a go again please.

 

[Dale]

Yes please, count me in!

Last year was fun. Well, apart from me being rubbish that is!

 

[Nidge74]

I may have a go this year too, only so that Dale looks less rubbish mind....

 

[Dale]

You're too kind.

I probably haven't learnt my lesson of making weird predictions though. The few times it worked made me seem freakishly psychic, but over the season it cost me dear!

 

[dav350z]

Didn't enjoy it at all last year!! ..........but go on, lets have another go.

Seriously it was great fun, join in, even if you are not that keen on F1, it's the competing that matters!!!

Dave.

 

[SeanDezart]

C'mon, this is free to enter - how can you lose ?

[Nidge74]

Hiya Rob - usual cash in the post - one tanks' fill up right ?

Is that a 350Z tank or an F1 tank??????

 

[Nidge74]

To all the honest people reading this and thinking of taking part,

The cheating has already began, and the season hasn't even started yet......

 

[SeanDezart]

No, the cheating never stopped ! And the sad thing is - I didn't win !

Seriously, there is no entry fee and these prizes will be won and it's alla laugh - it's only Bernie, my prize dwarf who takes it all seriously and banks it !

How true!! That damn dwarf!

Oh & as Nidge suggests it will be an F1 tank of fuel please which will be slowly fed to my 350z - as the Cabrio has been passed onto a new owner!!

 

[JakTheRuby]

This sounds too cool not to do. I wasn't here last year so I have no idea what's going on but this sounds too much of a giggle not to be a part of. Oh, and I'm winning it by the way!!! (NOT)

[dav350z]

The F1 season is nearly upon us.
