Race of Champions? Jenson Button?  ;D

Seriously it's something I would have loved to go to.. but we're having Charlie's birthday party Sunday. And it's only a 45 minute tube ride as well.
Won't be the same without Colin McRae, although his brother Alistair has taken his place.

Maybe next year, provided it's at Wembley again  8-)

It's really the wrong month for it quite honestly.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Brilliant show :)
I thought Schumi did a pretty good job. Anyone who thinks that he's lost his competitive spirit needs to watch. ? The look on his face was priceless going into race 3. ;D

Was it on TV, I checked, but could not find it. That brings another question, if so will it be repeated?

Thanks Craig. Looks like I will have to keep a look out for the downlaodable version. I have to go to Berlin to cover late shift for the company Christmas party on Tuesday. Still can't complain, they did it for us last week.
