You americans have not the slightest clue about what is left and right.
Politically, that is. The only people claiming otherwise are americans. Period. ---A--- Steve Smith wrote: > Okay, then; "a-little-to-the-right-of-Oswald-Mosely BBC" > > "Connected" > wrote in message > ... > >>On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 17:41:51 GMT, "Steve Smith" > wrote: >> >> >>>Sorry, I didn't mean to veer into politics.

But Steve:
Is she really sitting too close to the wheel? I have heard that a racing car driver need a good elbow angle (90) to get the agility and speed needed for a racing car... And, since she is not wearing a helmet, maybe she took it off and put on the burka prior to the photo session? What do I know. A burka may even be very comfortable under a helemt... I would *think* that even moslems have the common sense to protect their head when racing. ;-) And, finally, what's wrong in racing a Lincoln LS? I am positively *sure* racing a racing specced Lincoln on the limit is huge fun, and I would do it without even thinking about the wage.

You can't decide what should be talked over and what should not, you know.
Freedom of speech, you know. One of the things we praise, if not worship in the west. And what happens if everybody says the same thing, because the owners tell them to? What is the freedom of speech worth then? ---A--- Connected wrote: > I posted this story because it was about a woman race driver and you > dorks have to turn it into a political argument.
