Is Hans Herrmann's crash at AVUS also a failure?

Can someone resize this so it can fit for my avatar?

Not strictly a failure, in fact since he survived it's more of a win.

Loses something in the resizing but I hope it's alright

I love how the driver just lays there on the track watching at his car break into pieces.

AVUS is a failure of a track, so many horrible accidents there across many categories.

Thought I'd change my avatar again, this time it's Nicola Larini driving the 1988 Osella F1 car with the best name ever. FA1L.

1970 Spanish GP. You may remember that awful collision between Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver, which is in the background...

I'm new here, so I don't know for sure if this is the right place or not to ask for it. Not really "reject worthy", but I really like that particular Williams F1 car. (Yeah, I'm a Prost fan.

) Note: for some reason, it was to wide for the site to see fullsize, that's why I need it shrunk please.

I tried to replicate an image that was small enough to fit the avatar protocol... and it became indecipherable!

If you don't know what that was, it was Liuzzi's rather clumsy crash (and a clumsy end, at that, of his season) at Abu Dhabi, where he nearly decapitated Michael Schumacher, for goodness sakes!

Post by **Nuppiz** » 30 Dec 2010, 21:15

Doesn't look too bad.

Don't forget the SEGA sponsorship too. That's one of the reasons why I like it. SEGA was a big thing back then, still have a Genesis with me. (aka: Mega Drive)

No way. I still have my Genesis as well. It works and everything. I still play it on a semi-regular basis.

Ah, I can still remember coming home every day after school to play Sonic 2, only to die in the Chemical Plant Zone. Every time. Even if it was 2000, and I had a PlayStation and a PC, I still played on the Mega Drive.

How did you die in the Chemical Plant Zone? I usually made it to the metropolis before I got killed.

I was 8 and I panicked a lot when I hit the purple water. Even moreso when the drowning music kicked in. On the rare occasion I got out, I wound up falling through the floor when fighting the boss. (I hated those disappearing reappearing platforms. Still do.)

Yes, but it was mostly for my NES games. Only to come to find out later that it accually made the situation worse, since the condensation from the human breath would cause the connectors to rust. I just use rubbing alcohol, and q-tips to help them work better.

I have to do that for my Mega Drive too. As you say it makes it worse in the long run but its 20 years and still going (Considering some consoles nowadays cant seem to go 20 weeks without dying, thats pretty good)

But back on topic, I am going to find a reject-based avi right now

Any chances of someone resizing this piece of beauty, please? I've grown tired of my current avatar...

Gilles Villeneuve at his best in Long Beach in 1980, giving his all in the outdated Ferrari 312T5. Jody Scheckter came 5th in that race and scored the only 2 points of his year, and the last of his career.
