Coulthard also said that he "gets on well" with him to his face too. Very mixed messages. Maybe he - like some forum-goers, barring yourself and a few others obviously - is more likely to put a dollar each way, considering that he only knows what we know (I assume). |

But as an ex fan, and he was my preferred driver, he hasnt told us anything. he hasn't apologised . he is just pretending nothing has happened. |

Hoping to nab an SVG hoodie this weekend. They're quite plain and non-lairy looking, which is my cuppa tea. |

and when him and lowndes were duking it out on track last weekend i was barracking for SVG. none of that changes that Fabs and others consider him to have lied. |

(Funny how there's this massive anti-whinger movement from members on V8 forums - be it everyone moping about Winterbottom's comments from Tassie, or something one of the other notables has uttered. Yet a fair few from that crop were bleating and whinging at full volume when this SVG business came to light). From the posting I've seen, most of the Holden boys don't care too much about the whole thing. Although obviously they've gained a shiney asset to their fleet and the Ford side is looking slightly more anemic than it did prior. |

its a very simplistic and flawed theory. he had already left Ford, he was driving for Erebus. Naturally his fans were mostly ford fans and not Holden fans though, But the bitterness is not because he swapped. its because he lied. |

so what has been officially released apart from SVG's comment on "I want a break", whereby it is not actually mentioned how long the break is?

SVG's situation on the other hand is a little more complicated... they're saying he did, he's saying he didn't... So in Fabian's opinion he was lied to... but given the murkiness of the situation it's certainly a little more complex than was the simple yes/no question regarding an engine being within the rules. |

Here's a question....
Would SVG be considered a bigger liar if he had of stayed true to his word about not racing a V8SC in 2013, but had instead changed his tune... That is, if last year he was quite positive about the car, gave it praise when he got good results, suggested that he was otherwise pretty happy with the hardware he had...... then this year, came out swinging saying that the REAL reason behind things was that the car was a bag of bolts. Just interesting to get your opinion... "Burn Out" isn't really tangible, I can feel burnt out at work one day, then feel great the next... while generally speaking equipment is a little more measurable. I know that my laptop is a piece of junk, it may have good days, but I'm hardly going to tell the world it's a great piece of equipment..... See, I think I would feel differently if it were that black and white, if there wasn't and under-current of "did he say he was retiring", "did he sign an extension after being told things would be the same", "was ge genuinely going to take a year off, before an offer of a great car came in".... |

That story would suggest that the grown-ups have somewhat built a bridge....
I wonder if Fabian is still upset his parents lied to him about Santa. |

SVG
I think Fabian is just a little bitter as he thought he was finally going to have all the limelight for 2013. He has been the kiwi bridesmaid for a number of years now and with Shane coming back this has thrown a spanner in the works.
Personally I'm just really stoked to have 3 kiwi lads in good gear mixing it up at the top. And yes I do realise there are 4 kiwis racing |

Sounds to me you are an idiot full stop Chapelli.
If Fabian's a cheat so is Van Gizburgen, have you forgotten what happened at the Melbourne Grand Prix meeting DOH !!!! |

So?
None of that relates to the hot air surrounding his alleged contract breach with the Stones. |

Only one "o" in "to" Pecky
Two in "I'll have one too." One in "You don't need to." We'll cover "there" and "their" in the next class, and that will be followed by "your" and "you're" next week. We will then be covering correct use of apostrophes, so watch this space... Last edited by Goat Boy; 16 Apr 2013 at 08:16. |
