Hi OzzieAl... I haven't been on SM for a while, so I missed your "anyone interested in the Melb F1" question... although I suspect I'm a bit late, I would have said yes, but I'd be keen to hear what you have planned because Francesco & I have a mate flying in from New Zealand specifically for the race, and we'll be attending in some way shape or form - we are a wee bit behind schedule in terms or organising ourselves, but that is how we roll!! lol
We're also planning on doing all sorts of other things (boozing/go-karts/clay shooting/wineries/sailing/pubs/paintball/golf/a bit more boozing etc etc) but we are definitely planning on trying to squeeze some F1 action in at some stage (maybe catch a few laps of Friday's practice sessions before we head back to the pub!! lol).
The last few years I have been, I've been in the Mercedes tent, so I'm out of touch with what sort of deals are available, so I'd certainly be interested to hear what your plans are - I'm happy to wait till I see you on our Jan 22nd run to Barwon Heads, or you can PM me here is you like?
Cheers... Robert
p.s. needless to say, I expect my car will be getting a bit of use (when we're all sober of course!) and if Frank's Daytona is back, then we'll probably organise some sort of run done the Peninsula or Great Ocean Road or something similar...
