USA Review - The Heretic

GhoGho · Post by **GhoGho** » Mon Jul 11, 2005 11:17 pm

Jim,

Living in the US, as you do, have you noticed an increase in curiosity about F1 in the States since the "FIAsco".
People who have never had any interest in F1 before are now suddenly watching races and talking about F1. It seems that the "Curiosity factor" has got to them and now they are watching and talking about F1.
Some seem confused by all the rules and technicalities, but the combination of sophisticated technology and working the rules to ones advantage (looking for loopholes etc) is what got me hooked on F1 many years ago.
Someone once said that publicity good or bad is really all good!
MAYBE, just MAYBE, all the bad publicity will increase the F1 fan base here in the USA.

Gho Gho: as is often the case (it would be too far to say "as usual") Julien is right: There's no such thing as bad publicity."

Bravo Juan Paul, by the way. Just when I had written him off, he wins again!!

I love F1

Whan married, I was seldom right. For a short while after that I was occasionally right. Now that my eldest daughter is a teenager, I know nothing, and am never right. The near teens are learning from her.

Thanks for reminding me. First my relatives, then my co-workers...now the two wise-men of the F1 world.

BTW, are those claymores turned towards me or away from me?

Depends which way you are facing.

Okay, julian..does that mean they're facing you, by chance?

That's what I just asked him, kapel. Knowing him, he's probably waiting for us to join him over at the F1 Idiots bar, drinking a glass of iced tea, wondering where are those two?
