Funny side story, you can't bring in cameras of course. But we brought in our video recorders. And we ended up demonstrating them, including how to mount them on a Formula 1 car (there was a perfect place in the side pod). So we left the factory with all kinds of video on a CF card.

This trip including the same thing at Renault F1 with a private tour and we stood 20 feet away as they ran the F1 car through the rpm ranges. We also toured S.P.A. and went to Hethel for a private track day and tour, Silverstone, Goodwood Revival and a few other car places. An amazing trip really.
just had to ruub it in...

Everyone's correct, terraced hillside rice paddies, seen in any Asian countries.

Yikes, so zOOmz is not back?
I thought I saw a post from her in the 5 fav. movies thread on 9/25/08...
Maybe it was just wishful thinking.

The post is still there (as of earlier today). You can view her profile from that post... but it's not in the member list.

Perhaps the 5 fav. movie post was done by proxy???? I would have expected Zardoz to be in the list.
