Hmmm,
I've just been browsing the American version of this bulletin board, and was perusing the gallery section. They have a load of pictures from last Novembers Rally GB, with supposedly funny quotes under them. Apart from being the most boring photos imaginable from a rally, the comments are that of a 5 year old!

Check it out at

Subie Gal

hey...
easy there... I took those pictures and I did the best I could... this was my first trip to the UK and a "real" rally event... there were many more pictures, but the web site owner posted those he liked best... NOT MY FAULT!!

also.... FYI I did not write those comments, the site owner did and I thought he was rather funny...

this year at the event I'll try harder to get pics that are more to your liking..

? Maybe you'll come show me the *good* spectator sites so i can get better shots???

Hi, were you the Subie gal who was after the Coventry shirt? Did you manage to find one?

Subie Gal

I ordered 2 of them...

thanks to all who helped!!!

Well hello there Subie Gal...

Subie Gal

Hi guys!!! hahahaha!!

Geezer

Subie Gal,
Not knocking the pictures per se, just not exciting considering what rallying is all about. The SIDC go en masse to the rally, so if you are over this time, join up with them to see some good action. Then you can educate all your compatriots about real motorsport!

As for the "funny" comments, I don't think he should give up his day job.

It's good to see some Yanks taking in interest in non-circular forms of motorsport at last.

johnfelstead

you lot are vicious at times, some nice shots on there.

There's actually a pretty active rally scene in the USA. Both here in the North West where there are great forests and nationally.

Also, RallyX is very popular. Different to the UK format though.

See they are learning to turn right as well as left

Richard

Just so you know, my day job is studying literature and culture at Columbia University in New York City. I don't plan on giving that up any time soon, so you needn't worry. I see you're posting on "<I>our</I>" board now...unleash not your foul gloom upon our message board!

To the other UKers, welcome to those who have made the virtual crossing and begun posting on our board. Your knowledge and input are vital! After all, we all have <I>essentially</I> the same cars..albeit ours are a little underpowered...for now...ciao from snowy NYC.

Oh ya, just to slap myself with a disclaimer for the Brits: I've always found NASCAR to be revolting and drag racing boring. Rally racing and track racing have always been my interests. I'll be damned if I'm not the first American SWT driver

HA! ok then... next time i'll be ready to be educated, see good action, and take better photos!!! Then I'll go home and be the envy of all my friends... AGAIN! HA!

I only had one day, 2 stages of the rally to view last time

and BTW - I LOVE rally in all forms. I rally cross my Subie every chance I get.

I have seen the Photos of Scooby Gal.

I am sure there will be a queue of gallant SIDC members wishing to show Ms Scooby Gal a rally good time

Now remember to be nice or the other virtual impreza "babe" Penni will handbag you!

Paul Wilson

Under powered and over there

Ouch flame suit on.

Don't suppose any of you guys/gals hail from New Hampshire do you? Fond memories. Or are you all lumberjack types from Oregon/Washington?

Geezer

Robert and Subie Gal,
Glad to see you don't take the leg pulling seriously

I hope the posts I put on your bulletin board are taken in the same good humour!

Two great nations seperated by a common language blah blah etc.........

Geezer

Beef

Nowt wrong with drag-racing: 5000hp of sheer power getting you to 100 under a sec. Gotta be good. Tractor-pulling: now we are talking SERIOUS power. Multiple engines, dozens of litres, and TENS of thousands of horsepower. Drool. Shame they only go 100m or whatever.

Welcome US scoobers.

Can't say I found the captions under the photos offensive.

Glad to see you joke about Skodas as well ( 'What the hell is that?'-caption under Octavia WRC, which I presume was a jibe.)

Comic exchanges between our great nations have continued for years and wit is a national asset.

'English cars have steering wheels you know' as the great Torquay hotelier Basil Fawlty once said to a visiting American.

email me & i'll send you a couple....

Geezer

Subie Gal,
Why should we be afraid? Do you look like Nosferatu?

Or are you more akin to something out of Baywatch (and I don't mean David Hasselhof!!)

Subie Gal

that's not for me to say... u decide for yourself... no, i am not giving out my dimensions on the board!! ha!

all in all i am "ok" i suppose, it's my love of Subies that makes me absolutely stunning! ha!

Geezer

So it's Bella Emberg then.
