No... I used to go to the Long Beach Grand Prix in the 70's... and even accidentally ended up in the pits by helping to push Niki Lauda's 312T Ferrari up a slight hill when it stalled early in the morning coming up to pit lane. I was sitting on a curb waiting for the cars to come out... and he stalls and a couple guys on the team start yelling at me to "Poooosh".

I had a FILM camera at the time (mid and late 70's) and got some sweet shots of Emerson Fittipaldi's Copersucar... and Mario Andretti's John Player Special.. and Giles Villeneuve's Ferrari... before I ran out of film (a role of 24) and finally some gendarme tossed my sorry butt out of there!

Im not up to speed on these things, but when does a boat become a yacht and a yacht become a ship?:question:

Bad Line!



Look at the entering angle and his front wheels and then the next turn and the amount of front wheel angle and he STILL missed the apex!

I suppose it just depends on comparison, which harbor you're pulling into :question:

Awesome pic's of yaught's and views but your right, I peaked right here. Rubbin' shoulders with the real deal is where I would want to be.

That is a killer pic. And Greg you really have lost that poundage! :unibrow:

#1 lesson in "Boats vs Yachts vs Ships"....

A yacht is anything with a bedroom and a bathroom AKA a "stateroom" and a "head"...


#2 - You can put a boat on a ship but not the other way around.




So after roaming Monaco I finally found something that IS NOT in Charley's collection.



A gift from Gorbachev!

What do the photos tell you?!?!?



A simple question -- which version do you think was off line? Which version do you think was faster through these turns?



Maybe he was bored and fell asleep.... "Oh Shiat! I have a turn coming up...."

GregWeld 05-26-2012 01:27 PM

I would add that Michael Schumacher is #18 on the F1 standings with a whopping 2 points.... That would put him 59 points behind the current leader. :rofl:

Perhaps his line could use some improvement?
