No, this was in the corporate area behind the "Brabham" stand
actually. Moving his car to a different area or something. I think he
was just pushing his way through the crowd slowly, I just didn't hear
him come up from behind.

Should have got an autograph for my troubles :p

John, any news on CART Heat, matey? I love the stuff you do, looking forward
to that one too!

I second that.

Have a story:
I'm in slotcars again after few decades break. Choice of system was the 35 years
old Carrera Universal or 1:32 (Germans know this for sure :-)
Matter of fact, the car models used during this time were the 'actual' F1` cars,
you guess what they look like?
I had some chat with a highly Carrera involved Chap recently (who is also in
Computers) and he has never heard of GPL :-(

Hmmm, hopefully they improve on the marketing for GPL2, I wish them a bombastic
success.

But what we REALLY need is an AussieV8 mod.....:-)

Beers and cheers

Good points, Alex. I buy yer logic.

I'm in one league(COBRHA) that uses Coopers, Hondas, and BRMs exclusively...
I'm also in a league that uses a 'money system'. The BRM is the default car if
you can't afford anything else.. :)
