What happened with you Jan at Spa? Andre
"Andre Warringa" wrote... > > What happened with you Jan at Spa? The guy behind me tried to win the race on the first lap. Seemed intent to glue his Cooper to my gearbox through Burnenville and failed to compensate for latency when braking for Malmedy. Game over. He can count himself very lucky this was a virtual race. If it had been a real one he could have counted himself lucky I wouldn't have survived the wreck. I'm pretty sure I could have strangled him on the spot otherwise. His "sry ;-(" comment sent me through the roof. As if the gentleman racer ethos, pretty big among online GPL-ers, makes it alright to ruin someone's race provided one types this lame 3-lettre combination right after causing an incident. Pathetic. See ya in Germany. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

I don't drink. And, watching a room of people who don't know when to say when isn't my idea of an entertaining evening...<g> Eldred -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank - under construction...

A quick 5 hours sleep before I start practising for the Ring GP... think I might go Lotus and carry it to finish just to show you up. ;-)) Happy new year everybody, BTW. May the rubber side stay down this year. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

I had a great time yesterday as well, I got home at about 6 am. Just in time for a two hour nap before sending my sisters to the airport. Woke up 4 and a half hour later, 2 hours before the flight departure, panic time. My sisters starts packing in a really hurried manner, I have to run to an ATM to get money for the taxi I grab on the way back and tell the driver to wait outside the house. When we get to the in-town checkin counter it is closed, they get my sisters names and we head for the airport express, trying to reach the checkin counter at the airport in time. The plane will not wait they tell us as we run for the train. On the train I discover that the departure has been moved ahead 15 minutes and we agree that I will send the luggage by mail if neccesary. We get to the airport and start running around trying to locate the right counter. Finally we find it and everything goes smoothly from then on, no lines there for some reason... They check in, (35 minutes before departure.) and I head back into town. Nice start to the new year. -- -asbjxrn

Nah... race starts 5pm, don't worry. Glad to hear you had a good time too last night. Jan./did get up at 8am, but seriously thinking about a nap after lunch. ;-) =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. PS.: can you <bleep> believe I had to queue for 30 mins at the bakery this morning because of the Euro thing? -Baker had his prices and till sorted, but the customers were all over the place. People can be *so* stupid at times.
