Interested to know how Scott Speed was in general. Aparently when at work he is difficult to get along with as far as engineers and team go. (The shouting behind the garage doors at Indy was the talk for a few days.) what's he doing now and how was he? I hope its going good for him.

But.. but... They say that Tanner is a tiny dancer... how tall would you say he is? About 180cm (is that 5.10??)

Disclaimer: I'm rather short myself.. 172cm (5.7 I guess?)

I thought Tanner was short? O.o

Jagvar > Brian Silvestro

More proof that I am short.

Wacko > Jagvar
02/25/2014 at 11:51

how tall are you?? 3 feet 7 inches?

cause Tanner looks huge compared to you

Jagvar > Wacko

I am a little guy at 5'5".

He'll be driving a rallycross Super Beetle very soon, so mostly he talked about the car. I wish I'd had more of a chance to talk shop with him, but he and Tanner were in high demand.

So, when do we get an Oppo review of the GRC Beetle?

EVERYONE WATCH OUT The goatee is proof that this is not JAGVAR, but his evil twin. Where are you keeping the real Jagvar, evil twin!? FESS UP!!

McMike > BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather
02/25/2014 at 11:55

That's probably my fault.

Jagvar > For Sweden
02/25/2014 at 11:56

You'd probably have more luck asking Tanner for that one.

BugEyedBimmer - back in the Saddle Dakota Leather > McMike
02/25/2014 at 11:57

Huh?

Jagvar > PS9
02/25/2014 at 11:57

I actually have a (not identical) twin. But he doesn't have a goatee. Therefore, by default, I am the evil one.

Grindintosecond > Jagvar
02/25/2014 at 11:57

Well that's cool! Good for him! Honestly I think his past media personality and GRC could work very well together.

SnapUndersteer, Italian Spiderman > Jagvar

You're shorter?
I hope McMike doesn't see this. He'll photoshop you up with the TGUSA crew

I LOLed so hard at this answer from YOU.

Seriously, lol :)

Tanner's not really that short. He just seems a lot shorter in Oppo.

So, are you, in fact, a Hobbit?

My affinity for second breakfast would suggest that yes, I am.

Wait, you're telling me that Tanner measures more than 5 feet? Unexpected...

BJ > Jagvar
02/25/2014 at 12:15

Yep, you most definitely are the evil twin...

I already consider Tanner a midget.

So does that make you Frodo?

I'm telling you, start wearing socks. It'll add a few inches!

wasn't bender the evil one?

McMike > $kaycog
02/25/2014 at 12:23

Ha, I noticed that a lot of girls do.

I tweet all these photoshops of Tanner, and just about every one of the Tanner-themed ones are favorited by a fan who has him as their avatar.

Also his Instagram post replies and comments mostly consist of "MARRY ME TANNER!!!!" type replies.

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > BJ
02/25/2014 at 12:24

Not sure if serious or not, but I think he is 5.9 or something.

$kaycog > McMike
02/25/2014 at 12:26

That's funny. I don't have a crush on him; I just think he's cute. I'm holding out for Patrick Dempsey. ;D

02/25/2014 at 12:30

Sort of, but that changes nothing. You can't trust the twin with facial hair.

BJ > Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh
02/25/2014 at 12:31

Not serious! If he's 5'9" his costars must just be taller than I realised...

Laird Andrew Neby Bradleigh > BJ
02/25/2014 at 12:34

I remember reading somewhere that he is 178cm, but I don't know what that is in "'murican" I DO know that my 172cm is somewhere about 5.7 :)

His twin was actually a really good robot though! He never did any wrong if I remember the episode correctly...

BJ > Blunion05 drives a pink S2000 (USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)
02/25/2014 at 12:39

You're right, he was innocent, but I refuse to change my opinion on the matter! Bender is the "good" twin in my books, all others must therefore be bad.

Please tell me you were wearing shoes.

Yes, I was. Unfortunately, that's how tall I am with shoes.

A few days late but it's good to hear that you had a good Michael Andretti experience. I had a shockingly positive one with him at IMS last year. I say shocking, because he generally can be downright surly. His dad is awesome to talk to, even when he's mobbed by people.

Marco, on the other hand....
