I Might see you there !! : P! !!! ! I got VIP tickets, but something came up yesterday--so hopefully that will not ruin my plan to go ! I will be carrying MY HUGE Ferrari Flag haha I have two -and a Maca flag.

Well I think Ferrari can win this one! We have the most powerfull engine and -this track is almost full throttle all the time ! so hopefully :P! If i can make it, i'll pm you-maybe we can meet !

Glad you can make it, Enrique.

I think that I am just SOL this year....

egxpimp

Haha, It is not a for sure yet ! My father had a heart attack early this week so yeah :/ that has changed alot of my plans for summer...

ClayJ

I certainly hope that it was a mild one and that he is doing OK.

One thing about life - next year always comes around...like clockwork.

egxpimp

Yes, luckly it was a mild one --nothing serious nonetheless it scared the stones out of me! Oh weel seems like i will not be attending do to that :/ mom dosent want me to leave just in case anything happens :/ i hope MS does not retire so i can watch im race at least once ! Or maybe in August when i hit europe i will get to go to a Euro GP and live it at to the fullest !

Having a mild one is often a good thing: everyone gets the 'heads up' and is now aware of the problem, and changes in diet and exercise can occur (and there is less resistance to doing so now that the 'fear of God' has been put in everyone), which along with any necessary medication can prevent the problem which had already been developing unbeknownst to everyone from developing to the fulness of disaster -- and loos of the life of the loved one.

I actually think that it is a good thing when a person has that first mild heart attack(!) Not only is it survivable, but it also increases long-term suvivability due to its warning nature and the current excellent state of heart-care medicine.

I can't tell you how many people I know who are now on medication, or have even have had bypasses performed - and now will live a happy, healthy 20 or 30 more years -- which they wouldn't necessarily have been able to do if they had continued in their ways without preventative or medical treatment, and resultantly suffered a massive heart attack.

Anyways, I am glad to hear that it was mild and that he is doing fine.

Now remind him nicely (if needed) of our common mortality, of how nice a long life is with one's loved ones, and that he should take his doctor's care instructions to heart (pun intended) - and as a result of this little incident gain a long(er) lease on life.

Oh! And to keep it On Topic (sorry, would've PM'd but as you know I have been a heinous offender; and a condition of release was Probation and no PM's)--

I've still got plans for you and the GP experience of your life.

Life is a long time -- especially if we work a little bit towards that goal.

I've got 2 GP's lined up this year... tickets in hand and everything (well, at least paid for, one won't mail out yet and the other is will-call). We're hitting Hockenheim end of July and them Monza in September.

Nola

Alonso on pole. How about that.

But Kimi's comments... when will he learn?

How was the crowd? Looks like you had nice weather!

Chappy

LOL too funny! My wife does an excellent Kimi impression...sad to say we will likely lose him next year.

it was so incredibly hot... on friday it wasnt bad, it was cloudy in the morning to there was a nice breeze, but later on in the day i got burned to a crisp.. then i got smart for saturday and bought lotion, then for sunday i had my enormous mclaren flag wrapped around me.. no burning but i did sweat like no other...

it was amazing time.. was disappointed to see kimi lose so much times in the pits and to lose P2 at the very end

and about the crowd.. i dont know.. mixed feelings.. during the drivers parade, everyone started boo'ing at MSC when he was passing by. I mean, i'm pissed about the whole park job in monaco but the guy is a legend.. i think i was the only one cheering when he was coming by



sorry to hear about your father egutie.. hope he recovers quick.. maybe next year i'll see you there
