The pit radio conversations can always turn up the unexpected.

Sydney is great. Are you going to do the bridge climb?

If the price is not quite as insane as it seems to be. I certainly want to.

Plus a cruise, plus dinner in the tower

Singapore flyer and night zoo are on the plan as well.

I know some *really* nice places in Ft William if that's your area.

With genius like that, it's no wonder they've been pretty good at
times this year. The teams who went out to qualify with dry-biased
setups for the wettest qualifying of the year could do with some of
that common sense. Of course my words are ready to be eaten if it's
dry tomorrow..

Why does Button drive like he wants to let as many people as possible
stay in the hunt??? Is it some sadistic, supremely arrogant, super
confident teasing of his rivals or did he leave the handbrake on
today? Smells to me like he's seen the winning post (for too long this
season) and nerves are getting to him or maybe being too careful. Mind
you, I can't blame him getting over-excited at having a decent car for
once.

Still, need to wait on the fuel loads..Barry might be on fumes to get
the local support all juiced up. Hope it rains, I like the crashing..
