Yes, I am aware. The "Jordan Meets Canada92March" was a "description" of how I thought of the livery, much like i called the one above it "Fortiesque".

I said I was submitting two Minardi liverys on the very first line of my post so I figured I didnt need to repeat from which team they were from.

I always thought that the 2000 Minardi was so ugly that it was actually good. Like, you know it's horrible, but in a way you can't help but admire the horror. The 1994 Minardi, however, was just a case of "rip off a beautiful car and do everything you can to ruin it aesthetically."

Also, while Red Bull generally has one of the best-looking cars on the grid, Toro Rosso is on the opposite end of the spectrum. This year's isn't as bad, but their 2006-2008 cars were just plain ugly.

Lovely car, shame about the livery. I reckon it would have looked great in the traditional Minardi yellow and black colours.

I know this is a seriosly major bump, and this isn't quite F1, but I really wanted to share this rejectful Seat Leon Eurocup livery (sorry about the fence post in the way, but this was the clearest photo I had).

Image

Reminds me a bit of a 1993/4 Ligier livery driven by Martin Brundle...

More recently The Spyker, and the Midland and also the Oranje Mclaren.

I think that original McLaren orange was beautiful, definately something to consider if (or more likely when) they ditch the current silver job. However my bet is on a return to the red and white of the Marlboro days, except obviously with Vodafone as the main sponsors.

If we were to examine this season's grid, I'd say the most rejectful livery would have to be a toss up between the Toro Rosso and the Renault (shock horror!!)

Worst Liveries

2000 Minardi (Fluorescent yellow)
2007/08 Handa (Earth Cars)
1992 Brabham (Blue/Pink)
Martin Brundle for FIA president. We need someone with common sense up in the ivory tower of power.

I hope Jeoren Slaghekke gets into F1 just so I can say that I've talked to an F1 driver.

I actually really liked that one.

Liveries I hated included the late-90s red Williams (Williams cars are blue and white or Saudia green and white - anything else is wrong), and the last Lotuses of 1993-4 - a tonne of logos floating around all over the place and no real design involved.

I loved the look of the Telefonica Minardis, it was far better than the previous year's blue and grey M199 or any of Stoddy's cars. That same year in Champ Car, Catalan (Portuguese?) Oriol Servia ran in a PPI Motorsports Reynard in a similar livery.

Not only Minardi and Oriol Servia, but Fernando Alonso had also similar livery while competing in F3000.

Well, I'm not married but my choice of shirt colours may be a part of it (lots of dark blues and reds)...

And the fact that I have a hairstyle like either Screech or Barbazza.

I was not mocking it. I was merely stating that I have have like it. And that the name of one of the new teams that isn't Lotus or HRT accurately describes me. Whether the two are related or not, I am not in a position to say.

Well, its probably not for me to say but I'd imagine ol' Barbazza has had his fair share of sexytime so all you need to do is bide your time.

And keep your dress sense as it is. ;)

On the bright side, it could turn out that the name of one of the new teams that isn't Lotus or Virgin accurately described you, and that'd be worse. I suggest a haircut. :mrgreen:

Such as Formula One Rejects, right? :lol:

Also, if you are accurately described by the name of one of the new teams that isn't HRT or Virgin, you must be pretty serene and meditative.
