Your favorite Charlie Cox moments

Radisichrox · 3 Mar 2002, 21:57 (Ref:227253)

Most of us have heard the unfortunate news that CC is not going to be commentating this year. What is your favorite thing that he's said while commentating?

Peugeot #1 · 3 Mar 2002, 22:04 (Ref:227263)

When he said "out of the way fatso", during the live coverage from oulton. He said it to the Michelin man on the grid.

What year was that?

Peugeot #1 · 3 Mar 2002, 22:08 (Ref:227272)

That was in 2000. the penultimate meeting.

Radisichrox · 3 Mar 2002, 22:09 (Ref:227276)

Oh okay. I haven't heard that one.

Erdosfreak · 3 Mar 2002, 23:08 (Ref:227346)

favourite cc moment: his commentry when even he seemed to be amazed that Craig Baird was leading in 1998 at Knockhill.

5 great years for charlie he's very quick with remarks and bought touring car racing to life working so well wiv John a worthy successor to Murray Walker in 1998. We'll miss u CC.

Radisichrox · 3 Mar 2002, 23:13 (Ref:227350)

Erdosfreak- This isn't his funeral!

Still though, I agree with you that he'll be missed.

How about a Charlie Cox standard from each race;

"It's not racing it's skittle's"

StuiE · 4 Mar 2002, 11:38 (Ref:227646)

gotta luv it

Radisichrox · 4 Mar 2002, 12:14 (Ref:227677)

Racer69, that's definetly a classic.

rick vaux · 5 Mar 2002, 22:22 (Ref:228849)

Thats got to be ....thats the best save ever,i`ll give that a 9.5 with pike.Only problem, he said it usually after every spin, must have pi**ed off Watty....

...

Radisichrox · 5 Mar 2002, 23:05 (Ref:228883)

I can see what you mean Rick!

Cosworth_RS · 6 Mar 2002, 23:19 (Ref:229645)

ITS A GOAL!!!!!! Snetterton Night Race 1999 gotta be.

Radisichrox · 7 Mar 2002, 00:23 (Ref:229668)

The one that'll maybe stick with me the most is "it's as close as you like" or "Howdy Audi, welcome back to the front of the field!"

JEMMO · 7 Mar 2002, 12:32 (Ref:229920)

Whos going to be commentating this year?

alfaromeo · 7 Mar 2002, 20:05 (Ref:230165)

what a huge 'tank slapper' from the opening round of the 97 season at donigton after james thompson went off

Jimeth · 9 Mar 2002, 22:44 (Ref:231893)

"It's like watching butterflies mating!"

Donington 2001, two puggys i believe

Radisichrox · 9 Mar 2002, 23:05 (Ref:231911)

Jimeth that was actually at Mondello Park in a battle between Phil Bennett and Dan Eaves.
JW countered that by saying, "Mondello Park promised close racing, and I've never seen touring cars like this!" I said the exact same thing after I heard him say that.

Jimeth · 9 Mar 2002, 23:10 (Ref:231916)

ah well, close enough! it be the quote that matters!
I also remember "It looks as if he's used it in a ram raid!" and "It looks like its done 10 rounds with Frank Bruno!" Or was that Wattie....

Radisichrox · 9 Mar 2002, 23:13 (Ref:231918)

Yep, the quote is the one that matters. I think one that Wattie did made me laugh the first time I heard it.
"They're like a pair of ferrets having a squabble in a sack!", also from Mondello Park.

Those 2 quotes you're reffering to came from CC.

argybargy · 10 Mar 2002, 17:05 (Ref:232257)

Another Coxy standard was the reference to 'giving so-and-so a wet and dry rub-down' whenever drivers were engaging in a bit of 'argybargy', as it were.

Tim Harvey Fan · 10 Mar 2002, 17:10 (Ref:232261)

My favourite was when he kept calling Jean-Cristophe Boullion "Sunshine". That was really funny.

Radisichrox · 10 Mar 2002, 17:20 (Ref:232268)

Harvey fan, now that you bring back JCB that brings back some memorable quotes.
Jason Plato to the Renault pits-"Tell JCB to hold off Muller!"
CC-"It's like trying to hold off the terminator with a water pistol!"

SPOONERBORO · 10 Mar 2002, 19:26 (Ref:232362)

not so much commentating but rolling at thruxton god knows how many times - and that wicked drive to i think 4th at brands hatch in the rain

Jimeth · 10 Mar 2002, 19:41 (Ref:232374)

"He must feel like Bill Murray in that film Groundhog day, every day's the same! Every Laps the same! Every lap Menu has to pass Radisich and he's got to do it again"

well it was along those lines
