I think the actual Trumanism was "if you see the chequered flag you've won a motor race. If you see it twice you've won a Bo****king"

[The Fat Clerk]

Correct

[M Greenslade]

If think a similar phrase, 'I can remember when motor racing was dangerous and sex was safe' was attributed to Innes Ireland, please correct me if I am wrong......

"It's a game of two halves"
"The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes everything else is pure theory"
"After the game is before the game"
"The ball is always in the best shape"
"It's not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that"





Am I in the right place??

These quotes relate to the game of football

No your not in the right place

Although, based on the performances at the weekend, and the very similar behaviour of the highly paid performers, maybe those phrases would fit more comfortably on the F1 Forum?

Another one of Bill's: "A tidy post is a happy post".

In other words, dispose of your rubbish correctly.

Sorry: a bit boring but it matters!

Some from the other side of the pond:
Said like an elevator operator in a department store, when dropping off workers at their turn, "Turn X, Lingerie..."

"Did you bring your catcher's mitt?"

"Duck early and often."

Said at the end of the final pace lap at whatever turn usually gets flying vehicles or serious debris on starts, "Assume the Kilroy Position." Also used by Indycar observers on ovals.

Something from the GT Cup at Oulton Park at Easter

"He had two attempts at getting it sideways... then succeeded"

Also, "The Roadsweeper Has Just Set A New Lap Record"
(The sweeper was still on track as the cars were released from Assembly)

[M Greenslade]

Saw Jeff at Thruxton this weekend, so was very pleased to say on a numerous number of occasions:

"Bugger off Bloxham"

He said that he had not seen this thread, but was very pleased to be mentioned.....

GP3s, Friday morning first session of the weekend. Cars are released from pits, sweeper cruising around Becketts. Only thing I could say as the sweeper turned onto hanger was 'Oh S**t !!'.

[Shelagh]

Jeff reckons all the marshals think he's russian: "Bugger Off Bloxham" - think about it!!!

[Woolley]

Just after the first Ginetta fire at Oulton, who should come walking past me from that direction? Yep, you guessed.
