Rick, I'm from the supporters club and going.

GA is quite good around the track, but I have a stand ticket to get over the fences at least on one day of the weekend...just a shame they have raised a lot of them and changed them, etc.

marcus · 12 Feb 2002, 14:13 (Ref:214561)

Typical !!!!!

3 weeks ago my boss was begging us to take time off because there was no work for us , so we helped him out by taking an extra week of annual leave , now when I want one measly day off to attend the GP he says NO !!!!!!

"sorry Marcus there is way to much work on and we need all hands on deck for the next month or so"

makes me wonder if he even has a clue ..oh well he pays me to show up so i guess i shouldnt argue to much ...but I soooo wanted to go even if it was for Friday only ......maybe next year

mtpanorama · 13 Feb 2002, 11:06 (Ref:215113)

Marcus,
The greatest Aussie tradition..... SICKY

marcus · 13 Feb 2002, 13:29 (Ref:215193)

yeah . sounds good but it would be way to obvious now wouldnt it

have you seen the ad on Tv where the guy is at the cricket or tennis (not sure what it is) and hiss boss rings him ???

would really hate that to happen

Crash Test · 13 Feb 2002, 22:18 (Ref:215509)

Nono- you see there, the boss is watching his employee on the TV. Do you honestly think Ch9 will broadcast anything from Friday at the AGP???

Diabando · 14 Feb 2002, 00:04 (Ref:215575)

Good point Crash

Marcus...you have to come! "make it happen!!"

mtpanorama · 14 Feb 2002, 10:01 (Ref:215724)

OK, we are getting close now. Someone decide on a time and place for us all to meet up. I think friday would be best. How about after the F1 practice session at lunch time. Seeing as it is my first trip some one else better decide where to meet.

marcus · 14 Feb 2002, 14:47 (Ref:215866)

I like that Diabando "Make it happen" ..very good

ummm actually I wont be attending because simply im getting a good bonus for having my RDO knocked back ...wooo hoooo im gonna be paid at penalty rates....

sorry guys time and half for a whole shift is hard to pass on

Maisie · 14 Feb 2002, 14:49 (Ref:215869)

Clone yourself.

DAVID PATERSON · 15 Feb 2002, 03:20 (Ref:216264)

Macca's is a good meeting place, but let's make it earlier in the day. On Friday all the good stuff happens from 11am onwards.

mtpanorama · 16 Feb 2002, 11:41 (Ref:217050)

No probs David, lets make it 10am then at Maccas.

Crash Test · 16 Feb 2002, 11:44 (Ref:217054)

Just in time for breakfast

Mr V · 16 Feb 2002, 11:54 (Ref:217064)

you guys are really making me jealous!! have a good time anyway!!

Diabando · 19 Feb 2002, 22:07 (Ref:219181)

10.00am at Maccas?

Sound good to me...so...how will we recognise eachother? (for those of us that have not yet met!)

Marcus...I swear, if you dont get your butt to a race at some point this year, we are going to have to come up to Albury and kidnap you!!

mtpanorama · 20 Feb 2002, 02:46 (Ref:219274)

I will have mt blue and black XR hat on with the Dick Johnson autograph on it.

marcus · 20 Feb 2002, 13:23 (Ref:219436)

LOL....sounds like a good idea to me Diabando ...Im really annoyed im not going this year ..but I promise we will met up and hopefully it will be soon

WoodyTJ · 20 Feb 2002, 21:14 (Ref:219694)

Hope you all have fun - Oz in the sun and watching the GP - what more could you ask for?

Diabando - can I come too please - so not fair!!!

Diabando · 20 Feb 2002, 22:36 (Ref:219761)

Woody - I wish!!

okee, I have met elephino, mtpanorama is wearing a hat (hopefully not THE only piece of clothing for the day

), so what about DaveP??

I will have a fleecy 10/10ths jacket on...should be easy to spot

Marcus - your appearance at the next Supercar round at Winton will be required! No excuses!!

mtpanorama · 21 Feb 2002, 10:02 (Ref:219962)

I will be wearing more than just my hat. It is in Melbourne right.that means it will be cold and raining

Ray is this a four day event?

M Power · 25 Feb 2002, 12:32 (Ref:222265)

So where will all the goes be sitting? I like to meet up with you guys

DAVID PATERSON · 26 Feb 2002, 07:31 (Ref:222733)

I believe Maccas wil not be there this year, so we will need to find a new meeting place on the hill. 10am Friday is good for me. Friday I will be wearing a grey Castrol Perkins polo shirt and a wide brimmed stockman's hat with XU-1 badges.

mtpanorama · 28 Feb 2002, 04:21 (Ref:224177)

I did see there was a beer tent near brocky's hill. that sounds like a good place to me. 10am friday

marcus · 1 Mar 2002, 00:27 (Ref:224862)

ahhhh it is now 11am on friday morning , so I am guessing that all these mad aussies have met up and are running riot around the Albert Park facility.

might pay to watch the evening news tonight ..LOL

elephino · 6 Mar 2002, 10:36 (Ref:229138)

Only one problem...Macca's wasn't there this year!
