It was an unessessary exchange I have to say.

The democracy of the AB means we get all sorts of people - some helpful, some less so.

Best thing is not to rise to such baiting, it only encourages more of the same.

I thought dancairo was the poster formerly known as 'parrafin'.

[ummmm]

I don't think so Daffy....they were posting at the same time.

Also...never known parrafin to be so harsh.

all a bit silly really. anyway.

the podium champagne tradition was apparently started by dan gurney after the 1967 24 hours of le mans race. drivers will generally refrain from spraying champagne if a fatality or major accident occurs during the event. sometimes, depending on the country (e.g. middle east countries), drivers have been requested to use orange juice instead of champagne.

generally after this, the (empty) bottles are signed by the driver and auctioned off to charity. sometimes though, the bottle is not opened and the driver gives it to his team. often though they are overwhelmed and cannot resist.

Dancairo turned up as a greenie just after paraffin got banned/left ummmm.I noticed similarities in posting style but didn't think it was worth mentioning after the way parrafin left.
