I think Schumacher's record was and still is far greater than any athlete's in the world.

If God was a racer, he'd be a Schumacher...

IMO the Ferrari F2004 will go down as the greatest racing car ever built in Motorsports...

Rory Byrne (car designer) was amazing...

Magic ain't dead yet and Duncan didn't get burned.

Comparing the Spurs to Lotus?

It's OK to post though with such an avatar.
