Re: Babe on a Suzuki...

Hey, I don't know Kate, but she's the prettiest girl by far, and as she is in cars of folks I call friends - give her a vote!

Kate would probably have won without our help she was the best looker in the group.

Ah Ha! Just read Kate will be accompanied by a friend to Magney Curse all expenses paid. Now I know why you got us involved Paul. Have a great trip.

Yeah Right!!! - In my dreams.....

Actually, NOT...... Kate is a good friend of both Helen (spouse) and I, and as we celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary next week, travelling to the French GP would not be a good idea...

Sorry to disappoint, but Kate is likely to be taking her partner, Dave and I'm sure they will both have a great time.....

Hey Paul, make sure you ask Kate to send you lots of pics of her as the umbrella girl. I am sure that all on the forum would like to see them. From a purely artistic sense of course!

Re: Babe on a Suzuki...

Hi all -

One last post.... I had an email from Kate a while back, saying thanks to everyone for voting for her. It certainly seems that she had a great time and once I receive more pics I'll post, but for the moment, here's one she mailed me, a 'forum thankyou' and a few I 'borrowed' from their site

Hello all

Thanks for all your support, It was an a good experience being a Grid
girl and somewhat strange!!

If you would like to read my interview and view some pics, please use
