Where There's Love, There's Hate

Alright so to round off the day three topics in mind: Ayrton Senna,  Top Gear America, and the F12xx

Ayrton Senna:

Happy Birthday to you (x2)
Happy Birthday Ayrton Senna
Happy Birthday to you!!!

What a guy! Today March 21st is Mr. Ayrton Senna's birthday! Wait, woah, what?!?!? Who is he you ask. Is this a rheotorical question? Am I on candid camera or something, oh haha yeah you got me, cue the punchline drum roll... No? You are being serious? Oh the inhumanity. A small blog much less a wikipedia page on him is but injustice to Ayrton Senna as a person. Titles mean nothing to Mr. Senna. Sure he has 41 Gran-Prix wins, 3 Formula One Championship wins and 610 career points under his name, but to Ayrton racing was life. He was known for his prowess on the race course, fearlessness when taking turns and agressiveness when overtaking opponents; Ayrton was a risk taker and he had mastered the sport of racing.

To learn more technical details about his life check out his wikipedia page for a start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayrton_Senna and make sure to watch his life documentary movie titled Senna! If you truly are a car fan you'll enjoy every minute of it!
                 In further related news Top Gear today had an article informing everyone that Senna's first Formula One car is for sale! If only I had the money myself. Be sure to check out the article: (http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/sennas-first-formula-one-car-for-sale-2012-03-21)

Moving onwards...

American TopGear:

What is this? (yes I realize I ask a lot of rhetorical questions, just shut up and continue reading) but in all reality what the hell is this? An American version of Top Gear. I mean sure I respect American pride but first of all there should only be on Top Gear, the bloody British version! So I was so bored the other day I decided to give this TV show a try. I said why not, I'm bored, I like cars, let me see if this show is any good. 5 minutes in I knew I made a horrible decision. Much like Oedipus Rex, I wanted to stab my eyes out.
     Why?
First of all, horrible acting; they make the Kardashians seem like acceptable TV personalities.
Secondly they're humor is equivalent of a baby crying for milk because it's hungry. How is a baby crying for milk when it's hungry funny? ... My point exactly. Throughout the whole tv show they hardly ever swear (I counted a high number of one instance) and everything that's scripted is boring as ****. Sorry Top Gear America sensored that word out.
Thirdly They wish they could find and come up with boss stunts and challenges to perform.
British Version: have grannies do donuts in cars, drive monster trucks, build rv's out of spare cars.
American Version: shocking yourself while driving.... Yea I'm left speechless and cant think of anything else to write about in relation to that...
Fourth of all, ohhh how this makes my blood boil. So in the show I watched they have this challenge where they go up against old time cowboys on horses in a race to deliver mail. The horses can cut through the terrain but then again they're slow compared to the insanely souped up Mustangs the boys are given. At first you're thinking hell yea here we go. American Muscle, lets tear this show up. And then the race begins and simultaneously, you begin pondering the quickest way to die.
"THEY DRIVE BY THE FREAKING SPEED LIMIT."
Are you firetrucking kidding me!!!! You are on a fudging show full of cars, not only that, they are souped up to the max. Yes max! and yet you go 20 in a 25 mph zone. Ha ha hahaha haha ha ha nervous laughter. I wanted to punch the TV. Well of course you dumbasses lost the race. If this same challenge were run by Jeremy, James and Richard, they would have finished the race, had their cup of tea with some biscuits, conquered some territory (because that's what British people do) and STILL have had time to spare before the cowboys caught up! I refuse to watch anymore of your shows Top Gear America. Please remove the TopGear out of your name. It's a stain on the TopGear Community. And yep I'm looking at you too TopGear Australia.

And last but not least:

F12 Fxx:

So yea we had our initial interpretations of how the Berlinetta was going to look like, then we saw the so called leaked photo, and then we all saw the released pictures from the Geneva Show. In conclusion the F12 Berlinetta, like any wine (which Italy is also known for) is an acquired taste, and personally I've begun to like it a lot. Especially after seeing its statistics and performance. And like most crace cars, eventually there is a Gt version built for ultimate racing.

 There's one for the 458 Italia


A stunning remodeling done for the Gt version of the Mp4-12C because otherwise it just looks and sounds like a fax machine


And so some people already have made some designs as to how the F12 should look like as a Gt version:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the F12xx


Here's the link for the article on this concept (http://www.motorward.com/2012/03/rendering-ferrari-f12xx/)

I think its utterly beautiful. What's your opinion?

I hope you liked this week's blog, be sure to comment below!

Peace out!
