2009 "One Liner" of the Year! - Page 2

Crash Test · 13 Jan 2010, 10:07 (Ref:2612639)

I was told of one by a mate the other month dating back to the Auscar days at the Thunderdome. A car came into the pits suffering a major ventilation of internals all over the track. The pit reporter asked the crew chief what was going on- "Ahh, it's a routine pit stop mate." Gold

One of my all time favorites was Hans Stuck in the ALMS in 2000. He was driving a BMW M3 and had just beaten the dominant Porsches at Sonoma Raceway. A tightish circuit. When interviewed he said. (Insert German accent here) "Da Porsche is a car for ladies, they only go fast on the straight. We drive fast in da corners"

Classic

The classic reply was (something like): "Yes mate, it was out of control!"
Classic stuff

Bathurst 1984 - John English

Bathurst Driver into 2008, a classic "I can't be bothered to learn the name of a foriegner" moment:

Still, GIOVANARDI didn't seem to bothered about it!

LOL that must have been pretty embarrassing.

Greg Murphy Bathurst 2000 and something (not sure of the year)

"Is that a tent ?"

team drinkalot · 14 Jan 2010, 04:58 (Ref:2613114)

I think it was Peter Williamson at Bathurst after engine failure - " it was electrical, a conrod came out the block and knocked the alternator off it's bracket"

anthony81901 · 14 Jan 2010, 06:20 (Ref:2613121)

Ok its not 2009, but KB threatening a bit of biffo at 3.30 in this one is an old favourite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UC3d...eature=related

Driver TBA · 14 Jan 2010, 10:31 (Ref:2613216)

Since were straying off topic.

Mika Hakkinen.

Don't know the year, track or remember exact wording.

Post Qualifing interview.

Reporter: "Mika, you looked good out there today"

Mika: "Of course I did, I was wearing a helmet"

2002, same day as- "FIVE MINUTES? FIVE ****ING MINUTES!"

Crash Test · 15 Jan 2010, 00:52 (Ref:2613635)

Actually that might have been the same day as another live TV pearl.

Mark Skaife- "It's ****ing ****ing down"
Mark Oastler- "I think he said it's persistently raining"

Good god, what was this in reference too?

I dont recall.

Crash Test · 15 Jan 2010, 02:55 (Ref:2613654)

A marquee blew across the track and was stuck on the wall at the end of Conrod Straight.

While they weren't one liners, I always used to enjoy the radio chats between Mike Raymond and Dick Johnson during Dick's stints in the car at Bathurst. The bad jokes etc...

Me is thinking that you can take the "2009" out of this thread title. Its a good read, this!

Yeah and for us older blokes the same 1984 Bathurst race! The comment from DICKY J. all hot and sweaty just out of the Green machine, when asked about the track conditions "Yeah its as slippery as a butchers,. ..block out there!" . . . . . . Great era, Great stuff!

Trev Campbell · 15 Jan 2010, 04:57 (Ref:2613673)

Another DJ Classic. Mike Raymond "How's the car" DJ " It's handling like a dog on lino !! "

At Oran Park, the hatch from Dick's Sierra, including the rear wing assembly, parted company with the vehicle for some reason or another.

Dick's synopsis of the situation was, "It's handling like a flyswat".

Driver TBA · 15 Jan 2010, 06:08 (Ref:2613684)

Canberra 400 2001.

After the reverse grid race Skaife marches down to the Lansvale pits to confront Trevor Ashby about an on track nose to tail.

Ashby sees him coming and yells out "hey Mark, another case of misjudgement"

The TV only caught the end of it, but Ashby was interviewed a few days later still chuckling about how it really wound Skaife up.

Neil Hart · 15 Jan 2010, 06:13 (Ref:2613686)

What about the one-liner from a now former owner of a racing licence?

"Get out of the sport or get out of the house"

Is it the same bloke who also said most team owners had sniffed to much petrol to know how to run a successful and profitable race team?

There is another Skaifeism from Canberra, can't remember which year, not the sort of thing that should be typed here though. Listen hard enough to the telecast and you'll hear it, some instruction he wanted passed onto Max Wilson I believe!

Similar to the wording that caused a bit of a stir from Lowndes in Adelaide (that I always thought was attributed to the wrong person?).

RotorFan · 16 Jan 2010, 04:24 (Ref:2614106)

Attributing quotes to the wrong people is pretty common 'round here

Speaking of live TV articulations and the 5 minute penalty, what about Greg Murphy screaming something to the effect of "plucking stunts" after coming back from the toilet break.

Kingair · 16 Jan 2010, 06:27 (Ref:2614124)

Skaife's one about, "he should be flogged with a bike chain" still makes me chuckle!!!
