update on my dad:
went to the hospital, took xray's, he's okay, nothing broken, no bone bruising. they gave him muscle relaxers and told him to take it easy for the next 3 days. he's not going to take the meds, he told me he'll just chill in the hot tub and the pool and relax that way. his shoulder hurts but that's from the seat belt holding him back.... he seems fine, tomorrow the real pain will kick in... but for being 66 years old, he's a trooper

I'll post pics of the aftermath once i get them...

thanks for the kind words

Great news :biggthumb:

Now go after those idiots who hit your Dad.

The agreed sale of Super Aguri to the Magma Group has hit trouble, reports on Wednesday said.

The British news agency Reuters said the Leafield-based team has received a letter from Magma, which is headed by Martin Leach, explaining that the expected backing had been held up.

We reported last month that the financial elements of the Magma deal were coming from a Dubai-based international investment company that is owned by the emirates' government.

Apparently promised by the Dubai group was $70 million in backing per year, for five initial years.

Super Aguri, until now heavily shored up by Honda backing, is not attending this week's major Barcelona test.

"This could mean that we don't go to the race," a source said, referring to the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix at the same venue.


"Maybe we need a bit more backing from Honda to get us to Barcelona," he added.

The German magazine Auto Motor und Sport said earlier this week that Super Aguri was awaiting the signing of definitive contracts by the Magma Group, which was expected to occur in the coming days.

Super Aguri Honda announced this afternoon that the proposed, and widely reported deal between themselves and the Magma Group, is no longer being pursued.

The cash-strapped team are not attending this week's group test in Barcelona and the very future of the team - short term and long term - is now thought to be in question.

As reported earlier today, the team may look to technical partner and long-term backer Honda for the funding to continue its continued participation in the sport. The following is a press release from the team.


Statement from Aguri Suzuki
"Super Aguri F1 Team confirms that it has been informed by Magma Group, the potential purchasers of the team, that its investors no longer wish to fund the intended acquisition.

"It is with deep regret that Aguri Suzuki is now forced to consider the future of the team, however negotiations with other parties continue."

maybe we can convince cojones to buy super aguri

Are we the only ones that sees the potential in SA?

I mean, sure they aren't the biggest team, but they consistently make the biggest splash in my mind. Taku has matured into a great lead driver and his ballsy passes actually stick now. SA embarasses other, bigger teams with a much bigger budget, and here they are scrapping to just survive.

Sucks. I think I'm going to throw my weight behind Davidson & Taku for WDC & Constructor's championship in 08!

my dad just had an accident
long story short, someone missed an exit on the highway, cut in front of him while hitting the brakes, he rear ended them at speed.
airbags went off, car is totaled (my old GTI VR6, he bought it from me), and he's at the hospital getting xrays right now

this was the car he was driving... my old baby...

Fingers crossed he's okay.

Unless they find another business partner quickly, I think Aguri's time on the grid is shortly coming to a close...

It's sad as they were on a real upswing last year.

There are some drivers that belong. And some that have proven their worth. Taku has done both as of late -- he deserves a chance at another big team. I hope he takes his seat back at Honda Or replace Piquet or Massa

<---- its like multiple little tv screens of awesome

massa has just as many wins as the championship leaders. and with barcelona coming up i wouldn't be at all surprised if he got the second win of the season there.
piquet is having a kovi-style slow start, but the reee-noo just plain sucks.
