He was in front of McLaren that was the year he and BAR Honda shocked everyone.
Yeah - I thought they finished a few points back from McLaren in the end... sadly it was a few years ago now and a lot has happened.
IMO Button is a greater driver than Hamilton will ever be, it's a shame he is only a 1 time champion.
I dislike how Hamilton takes nothing to do with the GPDA, and isn't even a member. Bloody poor show from a world champion

Jenson button is a genuine guy, a bit naughty with that Renault/Williams contract many years ago, but I liked his attitude. He was at a small car event near us last weekend and was so approachable.
It made me feel old for the first time when he retired, I remember watching him race in the lower formulas.
Hamiltons racing life has been epic, his private life a mess. Not turning up in London for the f1 display was a mistake, looking like a tattooed fashion clown isn't my cuppa tea but it what's becoming of the newer drivers. Vettel is a great driver but his appeal to the Germans shows in non event german races this year, Schumacher filled the hockenhiem and Nurburgring tracks with air horn flag waving fans. Much the same that verstappen is bringing to the sport.
Hamilton is good, he's been at this for 10 years with 3 possibly 4 titles. It could have been 2 more (2007 and 2016), very impressive.
Button should have had the 2004 title (IIRC). He and his car were the fastest all season - but his downfalL was team strategy. IF he had pitted when Ferrari pitted Schumacher at almost every race he would have won. Instead he finished the season off the pace behind Ferrari and McLaren...
Sometimes it's not all about the best driver, it's about being in the team which can deliver. Alonso is another prime example of this, as he is comfortably the best driver on the grid - IMO.

Well said Walshie, I think he comes across as a really poor sports man/person!. last year i felt his attitude was very poor indeed
+1
His attitude stinks. The majority of the other drivers do not like him which is fairly telling IMO - even Button has said recently things were not as good as it seemed whilst at McLaren with him, and Button gets on with/is liked by everyone!!

I bought my RAV4, it was on Bridgestone Dueler HT's. They are rated as poor for pretty much everything yet I've driven in bad snow and severe rain (flooding) and light off roading with it (muddy tracks and across fields) and they served very well. Never struggled in the snow at all when cars couldn't get up slopes...
Only time I didn't like the tyres - which have now been changed - was a lack of grip when they were very well worn.

Just taken delivery of these:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WGQ2Q85/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_3p_dp_1
Very impressed for the price. Fit as expected, feel really good on. Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of them (mostly for work).

ASE UTRA is fanstastic. Barton Gunworks do super lightweight rifle moderator. Wildcat etc. there's loads that are smaller than a flipping T8.
ASE Utra here too. Complete pain to clean... but I like it and think it works very well (on both my lr and HMR).
-
Jings you guys pay a fair bit to get your hair cut. £4.80 here - regardless of what you want. 3 women run the shop together, 2 of them have been there 20+ years and worked for the old boy who had the shop before them.
Mind you, I still have my own clipper at home. Depends what mood I'm in whether they get used or not...

It's always been religion, and you'd be naive to think it's anything else.http://www.scotzine.com/2016/06/rangers-fans-top-scottish-footballs-yob-league/
There's us thinking it's about team pride - in fact it's religion.
Perhaps that's England's fault as well..?
Theres many fans - alot of young lads - sing songs of sectarian hatred, and have no idea what it even means. Their old man, or whoever took them to their first games sung these songs so we sing them... the whole it's them against us is engrained in alot of them, and other than thinking it's local rivalry, they have no idea why.
The vast majority of Scotland is ashamed of the sectarianism which goes on. But when almost every football club was founded by a church. Sadly it's very hard to get away from.
-
Yeah, football and politics, what could possibly go wrong
Why not combine the two...
Tory, Labour, LibDem play each other twice at a game of footie... who ever wins rules the country
-
Ok,maybe you should be clearer that you meant the only violence that goes on in Scotland involves the big 2.
And Aberdeen were involved,i didnt say they started the violence,but they were involved as they got a shoeing.
Heres a clip involving Hibs and Falkirk fans.Right enough,more posturing than fighting but it goes on up and down the country.
Pretty sure I did say that... you just went off on one.
Aberdeen fans were attacked. They didn't start it and, as far as I am aware, they did not retaliate either.
If you wanted footage of violence maybe you should've found the Motherwell - Celtic game from 3(?) years ago where Celtic fans started destroying the stadium.
Or Aberdeen - Rangers from 2003(?) when Rangers fans firstly injured Aberdeen players, then tried to attack the fans...
Two wrongs don't make a right - stick to defending Celtic, not rubbishing anybody else.
And as for being chippy and over-sensitive - I'd look in the mirror/

Nope,the OP said he thought football violence went out in the 80s,to which you said it had,except in Glasgow.
I then pointed out it is alive and well,not just in Glasgow.
Not sure why people are getting sensitive and deflecting.The fact is football violence is a horrible blight that still affects the game in many places.
Aberdeen fans were involved 2 weeks ago in Bosnia.
I'm not getting sensitive... just explaining my statement. You were the one jumping telling me to get my head out of the sand.
I was talking in Scotland... because of the Celtic link.
And FYI Aberdeen fans were not involved. They were attacked. And not even by fans of the opposition club they were playing that week.
-
Seriously,out in the 80s??
Maybe take your head out of the sand and Google football fans violence.
Ill start you off as far back as 2016,Marseille,England fans.
My head isn't in the sand.
Scottish football is on the whole pretty peaceful, except for the carry on from the carry on with 2 Glasgow clubs. Which is what we were talking about...
-
WATP
And what did those fans do to Manchester in 2008?..
Just drove through Sunderland,Celtic fans smashing up the gaff.Thought this **** went out in the eighties
It did...
...apart for Glasgow. Sadly.
-
SAK does the job fine... I have an ASE Utra, which is very good. The weight isn't an issue - but cleaning it is a pain in the backside
-
I was at the fos at goodwood a few weeks back, the E is a quick car, but the no sound really confuses the brain as it goes past, almost slows it down. Think it needs a few more years development and maybe a fake exhaust note.
Agree with you.
If they would put the cars on real tracks, instead of street circuits, I think it would be a very good series.
I understand the thought process - street circuits keep the cars closer, to each other and the fans... but there's not much overtaking or excitement. Once you get over the lack of noise and accept it is something different, it is watchable.
Itl be interesting to see it develope.

I was going to say CZ every time...
Till I remembered the last time, when I bought a PUMA haha
But yes, CZ!!

Hamilton isn't alway innocent but in this case I can't see how any sensible person can't see that he was. Haters will always hate is suppose.
As the lead car under the SC he has a duty to SAFELY keep a certain pace behind SC and not over duely back up the pack.
Hamilton almost got caught out under the first SC and only just crossed the line in time.
Although he technically did nothing wrong, by not accelerating - thus not progressing away from the corner, it could be questioned how safely he led the pack.
To slow right down before and crawl through the corner would be a different scenario. But 99% of drivers in Vettels position would EXPECT the lead car (Hamilton) to use his accelerator.
In the heat of the moment I have no doubt Vettel genuinely believed Hamilton brake tested him, which is why he saw red. Even though everything since has shown Hamilton did not.
The 2 touches - neither cars were damaged. Neither cars were pushed off the road, and both finished the race. It's hardly a sensationally dangerous encounter some are making out!
Suck it up, move on. No punishment needed.

That is not a branded tractor.
It is just a generic tractor shaped, coloured toy.
Is there no toy manufacturers stamp on the underside?

Not sure what model my Hawke is - but it's a 6-24x50ao IR and is 4 years old.
It's pretty good at dusk.
At night, on lower mag - upto 12x or 15x it's very good. But if you crank up the magnification beyond that it gets poorer. But iv never got it above 9x at night so I'm happy with it. It's a good scope on my HMR
-
Just for the craic, I will put my tin hat on and say: save all your pennies and buy a PUMA .22
Yeah, the plastic stock feels cheap and nasty. It's obviously not as plush as even a CZ but I really like mine.
I have a CZ452 in HMR and love it. Didn't have the budget for a new rifle so went looking for 2nd hand. My 2 local RFDs didn't have anything nice that seemed decent value, compared to new price. Then one had a brand new puma 16" for £150. The thing is more accurate as me and I batter it around on the quad bike and in the land rover on the farm and don't worry about damaging it one bit. Perfect budget worker as far as I'm concerned.

hello, for torches you will not beat a TR 38 in red or white from ludicrous lumins. co . uk can buy full kit plus scope mount, or if you want cheap look on aliexpress for a MIXXAR XML T6 2 for £20 a 200 yard white beam then if red wanted a front red lens off ebay £2 for 2

Iv a pair of Hawks 12x25 compacts.
Can't remember what they cost, but I think it was around £20. They are really good for what they are. Stay in my jacket pocket year round

Are these using li-ion batteries? Look decent kit for the price... Clulite website says due to popularity the PLR500 is temporarily out of stock.
-
Dont know if anyone has tried Admirals Old J Spiced Rum? Had some last weekend and was bloody lovely, a really pleasent drink and for £20ish a bottle i thought not bad at all!
Definately pick some up if you haven't but beware, they do an overproof version at 76%.....will temporarily blind you
I need to try some of that!!
(also needing to try Morgan's Black)
Lewis Hamilton

Haha by that logic your argument stands for Hamilton being a 'journeyman' too.
As he has yet to win anything of significance in a car which has not been the best on the grid.
But if Hamilton is a true great, Rosberg is even greater - by simply beating Hamilton in the same car for a full season...
