Around the Swimming Pool with my girlfriend....

[gibber!]

Yeh, this weekend I spent a little time around the Swimming Pool with my girlfriend.
I thought you might like a few of our pictures...?
































For the race on Sunday she'd bought us tickets further around the course opposite the Ferrari & BMW garages....!
What an awesome weekend...!

I envy you. One year I will have to go...always wanted to. Where did you stay?

Saaweeet!! I've been to Monaco twice but sadly not for the race. The last time I was there, I drove as much of the course as I could.

I've got 4 must see races in my life and I've seen the American ones.. I have to work on the Euro tour. They are;

1. Indy 500... 1989 when it was still a spectacle
2. Daytona 500 2001, the year when Earnhardt was killed
3. Monaco GP... TBA
4. 24hr of LeMans... TBA

We stayed in Nice, just a little further around the coast- only 15mins by train- and I reckon half of the crowd had the same idea. As we strolled up to the station on Saturday morning the queue was already 4 deep and weaving all around the front of the station!



It was fantastic walking down the streets from the station and hearing the cars around the town during the free practice. I could be wrong but I'm almost certain that its impossible to see the track from anywhere without a ticket (unless your in one of the surrounding hotels), we think you even needed a ticket to be on the hill!



As soon as the race ended we watched a few of the teams' truck filter down and then went for a drink in the side streets and shortly after they opened parts of the circuit to traffic so we had a wonder around.







With it being a Bank Holiday here on Monday, we stayed until late Monday night so we were able to got back and walk a complete lap of the course during the day.







All in all it was a fantastic experience and I'd recommend it to anyone!!

i didnt see any pics of girlfriends around the pool. whats up with that?

[gibber!]

Got plenty of pictures of other girls around there- Coulthards' girlfriend, one of the Pussy Cat Dolls, Casey Stoner's missus looked pretty good and a couple of Jensen's PA too... but lets not turn it into a sleazy thread...! 

[Speed-Randy]

yeah, that would just be gay

I'd like to see Mark K. or Bill S. skate that pool.
