Nice of them to install the 54 FOOT tv infront of your balcony so you dont miss one minute of the race.

I'm okay with being a schlepper. I'm happy. Life is good.

Talked to a guy at Mozza (we ate dinner there) last night - he's wearing a shirt with a big MBZ emblem on it -- so I say "hey! so which one do have?" and he says "an S65"... ah ha I say -- nice car! Then he tells me about several Ferraris he has - and the Bently GT his wife drives and the Rolls Royce... So I slink back to my table -- and tell my wife what a prick he is.

Just tell him your friends with Todd Akes. That might get you somewhere. You know the guy that owns Payback. Or maybe those guys know who Doug Renner is.

Monaco...that is on my bucketlist of things to do before I die!

Keep them pictures coming man...

Just spent 2 hours in an F430.... drove to Nice - on the "high road" and back then south(?) of Monaco on the "middle road"... then back on some little windy roads thru a couple villages... The deal came with an instructor/tour guide - and the SOB NEVER shut up! But in the end I had a nice time and without him I'd never have gotten the tour that I got. Have an hour and a half video but it's relatively poor quality and needs editing to shorten it. I'm not going to spend time now to do that just to share with you buttheads.

Nice car - torquier than I expected - and quite light and lively compared to the teutonic R8. Sadly - it's raining here so not much spirited driving. But it beat going to work! (sorry - had to toss that grenade in there!) It does make me want a 458 though! I love the looks of them! They're EVERYWHERE here. Not a single R8! But I don't think the French and the Italians like the Germans anyway.

The driver instructor did tell me that there are SEVEN Bugatti Veyrons in Monaco! And that all that have them are "idiots".... "who would buy such a car"... he says in typical french accented english with gestures and much disdain.

I don't know if the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup is being shown on television... but it's fun to watch these Porsches run! They're very competitive... and sound great!

Note the side loaded rear tires on this one.... Sadly he smacked the wall in the tunnel (IIRC) and tore a wheel and tire off! It went bouncing wildly down the track -- going 25 or 30 feet high a couple times... yikes!

I think one of my other customers business partner's did the same thing a few weeks ago while in Monaco. Was the car rental place next a perfume factory. They went to go tour the factory with his wife and wound up at the dealer test driving a 430 for 2 hours around town with an instructor.
