[The Snout]

You would need to demonstrate the damage.

For mine both James, and Steve are great competitors in their own right. Both have at times struggled, and no doubt both cursed, and loved the lineage into which they were born.
They are completely seperate people, & as such should be treated, and respected as such.

Would you condemn a man just because his father was a bad person?
To the same token should you expect someone to be better than the rest simply because of who their parents were??

So why let the thread run? Its obviously a bogus question and pretty rude to familes that have done alot for the brand.

Yeah, thats a tough one, Larry is a genius, one from the old school, tipo bush mechanic, he could and would drive a faulty/damaged vehicle and still bring it home, sometime a winner.

Jack does not have it, bit like Alan Jones son, just because you are a son of a champion does not a champion make!

What a dumb thread.

Steve Johnson has won races and been a regular top 10 championship finisher throughout his solid, but not spectacular career.

And Moffat Jnr has barely started his.

Its not like they have spent their careers as backmarkers, far from it.

Not wanting to stop a healthy discussion, but this one seems to have "fallen off the pace" a bit. Time to put it to rest before it is run over..
