Why?

The fact that the movie got made at all means that someone liked it,
even if that was only the producer or director. Just because someone
disagrees with your opinion doesn't make it hogwash.

Most of the current Grand Prix drivers dislike Monaco, and yet the
fans, FIA and TV love it - so who's talking hogwash?

Cheers!

my point exactly. O-P-I-N-I-O-N. not every single person likes every single thing. this is
called "opinion". my "opinion" is that the GPL monaco track is not good. period. from what
i gather, brucey-bruce would list all of the tracks as his favorite. there certainly
wouldn't be a last place on his list because that would mean that he cared less for it.

correct. but to NOT have an opinion is hogwash.

huh?

cheers to you as well.

Ok, ok!  I already apologized in case I misinterpreted your
comments...  Sorry again...  I'd better go out and rent me some Monthy
Python videos, heck I'll rent the whole collection...

For those of you who don't know, there's a lot of emotion over the
language debate here in Quebec.  Now you've been warned!

But rest assured, the French Police is keeping an eye on you guys!

Now I think I'll just crawl under the rug for a while...

Errr...  Couldn't find the right word in english at that moment...
Maybe discrimination would've been a better choice, but not quite
right...

Anyway maybe we're not a race, but we sure know how to race and win!

well, the full-blown MONZA should at least make it a closer second. the
graphics are much improved over the demo version - more signage, lush green
stuff, etc. only two more weeks or so.

i've got $100 for the first guy that comes out with a converter or car set
that allows NASCAR stocks to rumble through the streets of MONACO and scare
the bejeesus out of the locals! sacrilege can be fun.

You just have to get Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  As soon as you
see a big castle, you'll understand.. :)

You were speaking about the graphics and the appearance of the circuit,
Jay.  In that respect I have no favourite. I have always liked Papyrus'
graphics.

However, if you want to raise the point of which circuit, IN MY OPINION,
is the one I prefer to drive on, I would have to say that I have no
idea.

Out of the two available under the demo, I prefer Watkins Glen over
Monza, but only because I like a mix of elevation changes, slow and fast
corners and straight bits.

Yes, that was my understanding - and his opinion is wrong why exactly?

To think that all tracks are equally tantalising is an opinion.

Sorry, which word didn't you understand?
