Couldn't have said it better myself, Rick. Super jealous, Grahame.

Hi Rick,

Yes, driving down from Sydney to Melbourne for the GP – looking forward to it and being part of a squadron of about 100 Ferraris doing a few parade laps on Saturday afternoon.

Cheers,

Grahame

Hi Friends,



Today I hope to get a new battery in the Testarossa.  Its been sitting dormant for too long. And as you know, F-cars don't like to sit.



Been reading the F1 pre-season testing stories? Mighty Red Bull promises to have a rocky start, as do all of the Renault-powered cars. Still, they will bounce back. Hopefully we can rack up a points buffer before they do! I fear that scenario will hinge on how we do against the highly reliable Mercedes-powered cars.



Anyone going to Melbourne?  I love that race, possibly because it was my first live F1 race experience back in 1997. That was the second year in Melbourne after moving from Adelaide. More likely, I enjoy that race the most for a multitude of reasons;



1. It was my first live race.

2. I love the city of Melbourne.

3. I've worked the race twice as a track marshal.

4. Albert Park is a teriffic venue.

5. And of course, its the first race after the winter hiatus.



Three more weeks to go. I hope U.S. TV coverage is good and reliable this year. Recent changes in broadcasting and my local provider have made watching and recording races a bit challenging.



Now, back to rejuvenating that TR...
