  • Caption Contest: #77

    The seventy-seventh photograph to feature in BlogF1’s caption contest. You know the drill, think of something funny and witty to say and leave it as a comment below. This image cropped up on Sidepodcast’s drop.io a few weeks back, and is too funny not to post. It shows the BMW guys at the launch of the 2009 car (or possibly during the following test session). If anyone can explain what they’re up to or might be doing, feel free to leave a comment. The funnier the better…

      “Ooh, I’m bursting.”

      “Me too.”

      “Right, you lot go, I’ll stand guard.”

      BMW’s new KERS devices limber up before crawling into the nose-cones of the blue and white cars.

      I have seen this as a caption contest pic before. I thought it was here. Wish I could remember the good entries I saw.

      I have seen this as a caption contest pic before.

      If you remember where, do tell. I thought I got it from Sidepodcast’s drop, but since looking I can’t see it. I’m sure it is from their corner though.

      Some say that like an amoeba, he reproduces using asexual reproduction. Others say that he sometimes drives so fast that he can travel through time and meet past versions of himself. All we know is that he is our tame racing driver, and he is called the Stig…

      …times four!

      (I know, someone already made a Stig joke, but I couldn’t help myself).

      BMW mechanics show the new guy the positions you can end up in if you get a couple hundred volts up your arm.

      Bernie has asked for some good ideas for a better spectacle and this is all you could come up with. At least FIA Max(SpankMe) show had energy, persazz, dialog and emotion in it. Bernie will think we are stupid and he wont let us race anymore.

      Not content with attempting F1 domination, BMW try to get the 2012 Olympics gymnastics gold medal as well…

      When we win the championship this year, this is the Swiss version of that “silly dance” deal that Rubens dose on the podium….

      Greg Wesson’s was too good. LOL. I always loved Top Gear, the best show on earth.

      Man standing ‘Mario wants us to do anything and everything to make the car faster’
      Each other
      ‘Can we drive like this? More aero’
      ‘No I’m gonna lift my butt up, I can see better using a seat fixed camera’
      ‘Oh, and I can also reverse in case we crash, hehe’
      Others going ‘Dang!!’
