Have you seen the new phone books? They're getting smaller and smaller... it'd take 2 or 3 of them now to get me high enough!

Technology is taking its toll....GW what are you gonna do when they stop printing phonebooks altogether

No, but you are.

Probably sit on a stack of obsolete iPhones.

That was the problem with viewing the GP from ABOVE -- there was no way to get any real action shots... after 600 or shots I was bored with that. Didn't even take my camera on race day.

What a great capture of the turn 1 crash!

So Greg was affect has this trip and F1 and exotic scene done to motivate/inspire you to change or do something car-related when you get back I'm wondering? Whenever I go to something -- a track day, the Vintage Trans Am races, etc I get new ideas and inspiration...

F1 shift paddles for the Toter perhaps?

I get home on the 5th -- will be hauling the roadster to LA on the 11th for LA Roadsters show at Fairplex 14/15th.... then I plan to cruise slowly up the coast for a week - stop - drop the roadster out of the box enjoy lunch and the scenery... load it back up and do it all over again.

I'm not turning into a racer head... more like an eraser head. I'm totally happy just bouncing around between driving our new cars - doing an "event" somewhere with a hot rod - and tossing in an event with the track car. Mix it up keep it simple and enjoy each aspect along the way.

Monaco GP was an "event" -- but other than it being an "event/experience" -- I wouldn't recommend the expense / value received for anything other than the experience. Unless you have cubic $ and just want to be there... it's not the best race set up for actual viewing. Most people we've talked to since - had to sit in bleachers and the cars flash by so quickly that they really weren't all that thrilled. So if someone is into the RACE rather than the experience of Monaco - they might be better off going to a track event... like Austin maybe.. I don't know since I've not been there.

I will say that Gwen said she actually got excited about the race as it was about to start... so that was kinda kool and unexpected!

You'd think one of our newbie mod's would use their magical powers and resize that turn one picture. Justify all those perks so I don't have to use my 65" tv to view this thread in full-frame!

They get what they pay for.... no talent = no pay!
