A good reject avatar for me. It is from the Mecachrome days of Williams. Just saying that is rejectful enough! :lol:

That was the first bad Williams car I ever saw (have started to watch in about 1994).

I got the great Fabrizio Barbazza in the AGS as mine.
Miserable Thierry (Boutsen) staggers round mostly on ten cylinders (out of 12) with no clutch, low oil pressure, bad brakes and no grip to finish tenth, 3 laps down...

(Murray Walkers review of Boutsen's Brazil 1991 race).

Thats a point these days!

@ DavidAGS

I like your avatar :D

Especially, because Fabrizio was a Minardi driver as well and he scored a point in the famous 93 European GP at Donington (why does Senna get all the praise for his first lap efforts and nobody ever mentions this?).

Can you tell me something about AGS' sponsor "Tennen"? I think they sponsored the team towards the end of its existence. I ask because I grew up in a tiny village (seven inhabitants at the time, four today) named: Tennen. It certainly wasn't us, so who was it?

Håpla, I finally have a picture! And if I couldn't get one of the actual headline from The Sun, Pedro Diniz climbing out of his burning Ligier will have to do the job. So he wasn't a reject, certainly not according to the rules of this site, but the picture is appropriate to my username, which is what swung it.

Piquet Jr isn't a reject, but he's been stuck in my avatar for as long as I can remember! Diniz in the oven is one of the best sports headlines ever though (second only to: "Dindane's double bursts Bolton's bubble")

That's actually a rip-off of a Liverpool Gazette headline - "SUPER CALLY GOES BALLISTIC, QPR ATROCIOUS". Cally being Ian Callaghan.

Williams isn't a team even though... well you know.

So Nick Heidfeld bores you? Or is it meant to be a book written by Nick Heidfeld? "I am slightly bored," by Nick Heidfeld.

I must admit this is probably true. Especially in my case, in which the only thing reject is the moustache and the 1995 season.

Anyway, while I agree with that statement, I feel compelled to disagree with the second part of your sig. When Vettel is racing behind someone you always get excited just to think that you may watch yet another unbelievably stupid crash. :D

Someone should have that as an avatar! :) What if we all used it for 30 days in case Heidfeld wins a race?

I originally had a photo of Pedro Diniz in the 1995 Forti, but I switched to this family photo of the Life team a while ago.

Is this the right thread for asking for resized photos for use as avatars? If so, I would like this one. Two reject teams in one photo!
