Veggie 2012 Silly Season

It has started already... the drivers are looking at the calendar and getting itchy to either become richer staying where they are, or buggering off to parts paying more (or are more competitive )

Mr Holdsworth is the first contender for a new home. Story Here

Where will Mr Holdsworth end up? Is he good enough to get a ride at HRT if Mr Tander is off elsewhere?

Lots of empty seats as of season's end. Who might take them?

TSR has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Lucas Dumbrell Racing to merge with Rod Nash Racing to run a 4th car out of FPR in 2012.

Maybe Tander to FPR if Dumbrell quits?

Not a lot of other serious options? Maybe SBR if Alex is out? Could SBR afford him?

Holdsworth to #55 would be an interesting move. Dont think Tander is going anywhere for another 2 years.

Is it too early for someone to post a list?

Do we take bets on when the first list will appear?

Do we take bets on how many of the 28 guesses on the first list are wrong?

The options appear to be;

1. List Away!
2. List only at certain times and on certain subjects
3. List in a private, password protected list sub forum
4. Open internal compartment doors and trim the ship level
5. List the people in favour of or against lists
6. Play more Mozart or Haydin
7. List methods of annoying list haters
8. List methods of annoying list lovers
9. Can't we just all get along?
10. List the acceptable lists, and non acceptable lists


So what do I win?

We should have one list at the top of the thread that shows the confirmed drivers in their seats. No other lists full of wild guesses should be allowed.

It should also state if the driver is moving , will his engineer go as well.

Also is there any fuel to add regarding, REC's moving or getting satelite support from the top end.

that would make a good list

Probably need a compulsory pit stop and the usual saftey cars during the race to write lists too.
During the list writing:

Jamie will take off and leave the list behind,
Lowndes will bump his way through the list on his way to the top,
Tander will say that he tried hard to stay on the list, so third on the list is a good result,
Courtney will either be high up the list, but may be momentarily taken off the list because his team gave him a dodgy pen,
Frosty will stay on the top part of the list for the most part, but not challenge too many to be higher on the list.
Willy D will stake his claim on the list, but not much higher than 5th on the list.
Jr Johnson should figure about 7th on the list, no matter who writes it,
Ricky will also be in the top ten on the list, but not sure where to put his name when the list is finished.
Murph will write his name on the list in different colours - look for it near the bottom of the list too
Moff could write his name on the list about 12th on a good day
Leethal and Caruso will also write their name on the list around the top ten, but never confident of the position on the list.
the Giz will write his name high on the list, but only in pencil, just in case something happens and he gets penalised and has to write his name 4 spots lower.
Alex would like to write his name higher, but his pen seems to run out a lot,
Tim Slade will write his name on the list after he finishes doing his hair,
Karl Reindler will try to write his name on the list but notices Steve Owen hanging around with a packet of matches....
Steve Owens name is likely to get crossed out by Paul Morris before the ink dries!
Todd Kelly gave his good pen to Dave Reynolds, so Daves name is higher on the list than Todds, his name could also be erased from the list anytime.

Sorry guys....got a bit carried away!!!!

Like it.

I'd consider requiring anyone who posts a list to pay for a subscription before they can post another one.

I was going to propose that any lists published before Bathurst would see the postee being taken to the Mountain to sing the National Anthem on the grid before the race, then be made to watch the race on the top of the mountain in just pants......

fixed

in all seriousness, is it possible to keep the silly season thread to confirmed drivers/teams/etc etc, and others like "heavily rumoured" ie its a given, ala Willy D to FPR this year, and have another thread for "what people have pulled out of where the sun doesn't shine"...???

C'mon people, you all know you are hanging to start creating lists!

If you sort this forum by "Replies" and you'll find that for a few years now, almost the only topics that have been more popular than silly season threads is the grid girls thread! Go the grid girls! lol
