Only a couple of weeks away, who is Going to be there? I have seats in the Alan Jones stand and will be a frequent client of Pete's Bar.
I would like to catch up with as many of you as possible.

Ross Nicol · 03-02-08, 10:10 PM

Got a front pic Pete? I am hoping to attend on the friday but general admission doesn't get me into your hob knob area.Be good to catch up though my good man.
Ross

As always, I'll be there Pete. I am trying out the fare on the otherside of the track this year and will be passing through Pete's Bar on a regular basis. Ross, I "may" be able to repeat my trick of a couple of years ago and sneak you into to Pete's bar again. Give me a call on Friday and I'll see what I can arrange

Bill.

Ross Nicol · 03-02-08, 11:13 PM

Will do Bill, I still have your phone number in my mobile unless it's changed.
Ross

Bill Hara · 03-02-08, 11:45 PM

Hello Pete !!
I followed the link on the nice young ladys shirt and ended up here.

Grid Girls and Pit Babes from All the Formula 1 Grand Prix Venues

There are a number of very nice young ladies there, THANKS for the link.
Regards Brian

Ross, I pm'd you with a similar message to Bill, I'm sure between us we can organise something. Can't find that particular front will this do?

Ross Nicol · 03-03-08, 01:18 AM

Yep That one will do Pete, so natural those girls don't you think? How do they defy gravity so effectively. Will you be scaling the Pete's Bar girls this year? Always something to look forward to at the GP.

woof.........

It's the engineering of those top bits that is so fascinating. Twin overhead whatsits forever!

Peter D · 03-03-08, 07:41 AM

Dalton - its the same engineering that is used on those rice-burners - suspension tower struts/braces !

The difference is that whilst the rice-burners seem to use a single solid brace between the towers, these girls have gone for a more flexible "triple-brace" setup.

I would be willing to bet that this approach lead to far better handling !!

Kind Regards,

Peter D.

I think you mean a lot more handling.

Dalton · 03-04-08, 02:36 AM

Whatever the problem, I'll handle it.

Ryan L · 03-08-08, 05:06 AM

I’m also going. Have got the Schumacher package where you are in a different stand every day. I am looking forward to the historic display of the Po!@#$ 917 & 930. would be good to catch up at some point.

Is anyone going to the GP advantage session on Wednesday night – starts at 4:00pm think you get a pit walk and can see all the teams putting the cars together or something. If so ill see you there as well.

Will have SWMBO and the parents in law in toe, which is good as it will give me someone to go and drink scotch with while the girls head of to do whatever.

How do we get in contact and meet up.
Happy to talk about cars, boats, bikes, women and spending money,….whatever.

Regards Ryan

I just saw your post Ryan as I was going to add some photos of the event. It was an action packed weekend with EXTREME temperatures on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Temperatures in the shade at 39 degrees Celsius (103 F) and track temps over 50 C (123 F).....

Racing was great, nice cars on display and plenty of nice girls showing their stuff too. I must add that it was great catching up with Ross and Pete in "Pete's Bar"

Here are some photos in no particular order....

Pete McCluskey. · 03-17-08, 06:10 AM

Nice Bill, I must explain that the up-skirt shot was because the young lady was dancing on the piano in Pete's Bar and you dont walk around with your phone taped to your foot.

Ryan I'm sorry that we could not catch up and find you a pass. It would have helped if my mobile had not been playing up like a victa lawnmower.
Next year.

Damn that was a fun race to watch.... not having Traction Control really unsettled a few of them.

It's good it's more of a competition between the drivers again.... felt a bit sorry for Raikkonen, he fought really hard and was a bit unlucky at the end.
