Thanks mate,

No hound for the ute yet. You try keeping muts in a unit. I don't want a yappa, might get laughed at at the next B&S.

Seriously though fellas, I think Schuey might pull his finger out this sunday. Speaking of which, don't ya just love a public holiday when an F1 is on the wrong side of the planet!

i dont think Schumi will retire if he loses this year championship.Knowing him he would want to go out on a winning note.
Hope to see the battle between Renault-Ferrari-Mclaren at Imola. :lol:
