F.1. Melbourne.

I found out last night that there are TWO original GT40's at the Historic Garage at the F1 and therefore our GT40 replica is not needed.
Although I was very dissapointed not to get a drive on the circuit this year, I fully understand the reason behind it. I have had a great time withthe F1 people here in Melbourne and driving around the circuit on race day must have been one of those life long memories of mine. Thank you for making this old(ish) man very happy.
Remember:
You do not stop playing because you grow old,
You grow old because you stop playing.
Best wishes to all,
I hope to see you all at the GP and all are welcome to visit our factory during that week,
Robert

Robert,
Will we be welcomed at the Phillip Island historics with
our GT? I really like this race the best as I can actually see a car go by and not a blur.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

Well said Robert. My personal philosophy too.
You know that you have finally grown up when you return to your chilhood. A child's sole aim is to enjoy life at all costs with those that they love most... the rule of life that also comes with the wisdom of age.
PS. I'll be at the F1GP too being that my office is 2 mins walk from the track, but not sure at this stage of the details.

Robert, I like it - when my family questions my "childish obsession with big toys", can I refer them to you for an explanation ?? !!
I did a quick check of the previous thread & of this one - it looks like we have quite a team coming :
- Peter Delaney (Brabham Stand)
- Hershal Byrd
- Robert Logan
- Pete McCluskey (Jones Stand)
- Dave Morton
- Chris Liokos
- Bill Haralambakis (Jones Stand)
- Norman Falconer
- Tim Mackie (Prost Stand)
- Darrel Peatie
- Peter (HILLY)
- Joe T
Does anyone who knows the circuit & program have a suggestion as to a meeting place / time ? As a starter, I am thinking in terms of a fairly centrally located bar & some time on Saturday.
Kind Regards,
Peter D.

If everyone has a grandstand ticket, then we can assemble at Pete's bar (Hey you probably own it!) which is behind the Pit building on the main straight. (see map attached).
There are other places to meet, however access to Pete's bar is easy with the grandstand tickets....
Mid-day on Thursday through to Sunday, that's where you will find me.

I'm going general admission so please make the meeting point somewhere I can get to.I'm not stingy but saving for a new motor and tyres.I like being in the stands but I wish you could buy a stand seat on a daily basis.

Pete's bar sounds O.K. to me. I don't mind posting my mobile so here it is. 0413451949. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I am looking forward to catching up with all of you..Ross I am pretty sure you can access Pete's bar with general admission tickets.
Pete's bar is not accessible to general admission tickets, however it may be possible to smuggle the odd person through the dividing gate. My brother is a circuit doctor and should be able to get me an extra cams pass for this situation.
My contact number is 0419 878 497 - your welcome to call me at the track Ross so that we can smuggle you through.

Thanks for the offer of a ride Ross. I'm driving my Maloo down, so we will have transport. We'll see how it pans out. My brother is hooking up with a heap of "Elise" guys aswell, and they are planning on going to the LCV barbie. Someone had better let Guy know to buy a few extra snags!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
