Bruce disagrees with the source of the image, he thinks this is Mario Andretti. I agree it doesn't look like James Garner, but, the image only appears online in about 4 other sites, and none of them name this guy. I think it looks more like Evel than Garner.

ReplyDeleteaccording to what source? Silodrome says it's Garner, I don't think so, it doesn't look like Garner, but, it doesn't look like Andretti to me either. Looks like Knievel.
DeleteCompare with the thousand of photos you can find on the internet. Not Garner, not Knievel. It's 100% Mario Andretti.
DeleteSo, just your opinion, with zero to source your claim on, and if there are a thousand photos, you shouldn't have any problem finding 5 that are exactly the same to prove you're right. See how easy that is? You can prove what you say the same way I do, by including links so people can see more than one source of info that proves what you're saying is a fact. I've made about 40,000 posts with more than one link, it's really not that difficult, after all, you say there are a thousand photos that this will compare to.
DeleteDo you have a proof ? Silodrome has a proof ?
DeleteI met Mario Andretti twice in the 70s during races in Europe.
Maybe some people need glasses?
Yes, maybe you need glasses. Maybe you're not aware of how to read, or what you're reading, because you need glasses. That's possible, but not likely. It's more likely you're too lazy to do what you suggested I do, look online for photos of Mario Andretti about 1970 or so, and compare those photos of Mario, to this photo of someone on a Mickey Thompson mini dragster.
DeleteYes, I asked if you have proof, you are aware what proof is? How about a link to a comparable image? Or a website that shows that this image has been attributed to someone, like Garner, like Silodrome did, or Andretti, or someone else?
Does Silodrome have proof? Do I give a shit if they do? They made a statement, I don't care if they were right or wrong, and why can't you just prove that you're right?
You already said, there are a thousand photos of Mario Andretti online, and it's so simple to compare them, according to you, that anyone can do it.
Obviously, except you, as you met Mario in Europe. That, and a nickel, don't amount to much when asked for proof that this image of someone on a Mickey Thompson mini dragster is some one you decided on with zero to show others that they can decide for themselves that your proof is absolutely 100% spot on.
So, I do think it's cool you met Mario Andretti, twice, in the 70s, and that you were in Europe for races then.
And that doesn't have anything to do with me replying to your comment yesterday, nor, that you couldn't do the very simple easy and fast operation of finding a photo that is clearly Mario Andretti, online, and providing me with that link, so I can compare it with this of someone on a Mickey Thompson mini dragster.
Maybe some people need to lose the attitude?
I'm here sharing cool stuff, what's your fucking problem?
