Whoarrrrrr!!!!!

What a hell of a week. Never thought so much could of happened.

I got to monaco on Wed night and went down to the Rass-Cass from which I met up with a bloke who had his TVR there so ke kindly took me around the track in it and my god does that have some RAW power. Then the next day I spent most of the afternoon with the Arrows pit crew giving them a little help and then was allowed to sit in the car. I reckon with a custom made seat it would be really comfy in there.

Then by pure chance I ended up getting free passes to Eddie jordans Private party and saw people like Nicki Lauder and Flavio Briatorie whislt dancing next to Eddie himself and is wife and daughter (young and FIT!!!)

Then on Sat night me and my mate slept out on the Rocher Sector just opposite the pit entrance to get a good view for the next day (not a good nights sleep i must admit especially the a dog walks all over you, :eek:

Then for the next day I just relaxed and took in the GP atmosphere and got nicely burnt and watched the GP.

If any of you get the chance to go and like F1 i really recommend it.

Well my mate who i was with knew someone who is part of the pit crew and he was showing us about and asked for a bit of help thats all. (Got pics if u dont believe me)

And the passes were just a bit of good fortune really as we were looking at a new Lambo two English blokes came and offered them to us as they were going home and thought they might aswell be used for the rest of the night instread of being thrown in the bin.

Wish I was famous I might have a lot of money then, lol
