You can't get anywhere near the track - so that's going to be impossible! This is the most controlled circumstances I've ever seen. I mean you just wouldn't believe where you CAN'T GO!

Your "ticket" gets you THERE ONLY.... otherwise you can't get to another area of the track. Luckily we have a VIP deal at 48 Rue Grimaldi for Sat/Sun... so I can see other parts of the track 'cause I'm already bored with the hairpin!

You want to see this race from any vantage point ---- or multiple vantage points - bring THOUSANDS of dollars. And I'm not joking when I say that. THOUSANDS.... PER PERSON. PER VENUE. Or watch it on TV. You don't just buy "a ticket" and get to wander around and see what you want. A ticket gets you ONE location and that's it!

Got it...It was the thought that counted..

You don't want to be thrown out trying to be the "Flower Boy "..

Enjoy your stay.. This thread Inspires me to seek the next level of wealth..

Happy where I am, but my Wife and I are always scrapping for the next step up..

Life is the Journey and the Game, not the destination..

Rock on Mr. Weld...:cheers: Somebody's got to do it..

Well --- it's evening here -- so we're just cleaning up and getting dressed to go out for dinner... Thus fewer posts from me - and probably at what looks like odd times.

The display of money that I've seen here is unimaginable... And I lived in New York City for 7 years... and have been to Tokyo and Hong Kong... and Beverly Hills -- and frankly - where I live now is pretty on the uppity scale (Microsoft and Amazon and Starbucks wealth) but we don't live this way... not by a long shot!

Mike --- I'm 59 this August.... and this is the first time I've been to Europe - and the last Grand Prix I went to was the ones they ran thru Long Beach California...

This 5 days (of Monaco) is a ONE AND DONE for me... It's amazing but not something I'd pay to do every couple of years. It's off my bucket list and we'll move on to the next one on there!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAA

Greg,

Enjoy.. Your Bucket is bigger than mine, haha...For now...:thumbsup:


I started by building my Z/28, and then Yosemite , and then the Grand Canyon is next.. Baby Steps..:lol:

After that ? Who knows... First I need to add to my Bucket.. :rofl:

I won't take out of my Investments, because that is my Income..:cheers:

I have some Irons in the fire, and I am luckier than I am smart, and so far, it has taken me far in life...Not Monaco far, but at 52, I am just getting warmed up..

Mike.

How you say, 'keep up with the Joneses' in français.

To be honest, it's so very infectious too. I'm embarrassed to admit that in a matter of 24 hours I found myself playing the "who's obviously not from here" game. :lol:

I am playing the " how do I get there from here " Game...:thumbsup:

So I know this is a car forum -- but these boats outside our room are AMAZING and I'm sucked into the view like a moth to a flame...
