I got a sudden Bush-feeling from that lol. When he said his "fool me once..-speech"To finish first, you have to finish first
Surely it´s "To finish first, first you must finish" ?
You know you've been watching F1 for too long when..
- Thread starter Shane Butler
- Start date

This seems to be an appropriate timing to chime in with that old saying:
To finish first, you have to finish first
Yeah but I think that idiom only works if you actually say it out loud. It's all about how you pronounce first, after all.
Nice brain fade, i like Bush though
I actually looked it up because I really wasn't sure about it
Apparently the way I wrote it (and the only way it makes sense in this context) was from Colin Chapman.
I was walking through the shopping centre once when I got stuck behind a group of people who were chatting and walking very slowly, and I had no way of getting past them.
It was at that point that I wished the marshals would wave the blue flags... then I realised what I was thinking...

Please, I get that all the time in school. Stuck behind a group of girls feels like being held up behind the HRT's..
Funny I've been learning to drive lately 10 years too late but its given me an advantage in some respects, not as hot headed as I would be if I'd done it all at 17 and feel a lot safer driver for it allready.
But I cant help but feel proper gutted when someone overtakes me lol just for that split second Im worrying how many points ill lose for coming 1 place lower down the order... untill i remember Im doing 25 in a 30 zone

- When you make a circuit with the apexes designed with chalk and race it with scooters like this (http://kidsonroll.com/cservice/images/Push-Scooters-RazorA2Scooter.jpg) with your brother (past)
when you consider passing people in the mall as an actual overtake.
Seriously though, the shopping cart when looking for food, i seriously can´t drive it normally, i do Scandinavian flicks and all kinds of stuff, hitting apexes etc

when with every car/vehicle you take racing line,and engine braking
racing line with a lorry is not so fun,also with farming tractor i get pretty slow to the apex

When you see the shape of F1 tracks in your food.
When you are out on the motorway and have to let of the gas for a corner you think to yourself "if i had an F1 car i could take this flat easily at 300lkm/h" then giggle like a 5 year old at the awesomeness of Formula 1 cars.
When you slipstream the car in front of you before passing him on the outside of the corner on the freeway.
When you try to out brake the car next to you without locking up your front l (abs is always off when I'm driving in a car)

I passed an accident on the way to work this morning and actually thought "why is there no yellow flags"
The car was stopped at a blind bend on a country road with the wheels like this \-----/

- When you think that every car on the road is there to race you
- When you change gear that fast and put two hands immediately on the steering wheel while going twice slower than real F1 car speed
- When you jump over the curb of a roundabouts/ring to cut the turn (i have one new in my neighborhood and actually its the largest in the west part of Skopje, everyday when i go home i do that, no one else does that haha)
- When you are closing on a car and going and going right behind her thinking that you are catching slipstream and wait till the final moment and pass him like on TV
