Vroom Vroom

Last weekend was the start of the F1 GP calendar. I was generously given a ticket to the J0nes stand by my nephew from Perth. My brother and most of his kids (adults actually...free ticket remember) flew over for the race.
Sometimes I wonder why would anyone spend $600 (free for me) and sit in the sun the whole day to watch cars go round and round. Well, if you don't get it you never will. Motor racing is a passion that does not require any explanation. The excitement of the race, the speed, the noise and the atmosphere. Many patronise the GP because of the grid chicks. I attend because I like it.
Some of the images of Saturday are available for view at Picasa:

There were cars, many cars but the people was just as captivating.

We race on to the next race - in Sepang Malaysia.

What happens when you work late.

Pugs as faithful as they are will get away with their sleep when it gets late. As they slip into slumberland, their repertoire of snores adds to the atmosphere of the small hours of the morning.
Zeus (male) is on the left and Clio (female) is on the right. Unfortunately for the male species of the world, Clio is the smarter of the two albeit Zeus is larger.
With faces like them, you just have to love them no matter what time of day, or what state they are in. Zzzzzzzz.

Magical Gems of a bygone era

Last Saturday I was invited to a MG Car Club Concours at the Como Park. I do not own a MG but seeing the owners and their restoration was a treat in itself. I went around taking photos of MGs as I think I know how (Room for improvement). Those who are interested to see more can see it here.
By the end of the day, I noticed there was a for sale sign on a MGC TC? (it's a V6) which was tempting, but the lack of knowledge of anything mechanical brought home the reality of owing a historical marque. I'd be better off being the owner of just the images of an MG. Vroom Vroom. Mmmmm Geeees I wish I have one.

There's no place like home...

Sarah and Gene has been home for almost a month. Time flies. Most evenings were spent eating a variety of cuisine. From Japanese, Italian to Aussie Kangaroo.

Both Sarah and Gene are formidable cooks. So all that's left for Pauline and myself is to eat.

Bon Appetite mate.
