Back from the the races ! (F1- Honda Content)

Well guys ....

I'm off to Barcelona tomorrow morning to see the f1 race

We drive from Gibraltar about 100 miles to Malaga airport and then take a short 1 hour flight to Barcelona.

Hopefully Button and Bar Honda will perform as well as they did at Imola and who knows they might even beat Ferrari, although we all know Alonso is favourite for this GP.

To wet the appetite here are some pics from the 2001 GP when I last went.....

and also some pics from last years Long Beach GP (Yeah I know Indy but it was also very cool...check out the vintage F1s...)

There is also some sort of car show going on so it should be a weekend of fuel, oil, rubber and fast cars !!

I'll post pics on my return

I'm looking forward to the pics! Make sure you take a few of the "umbrella babes" before the race.

Has anyone been to 24hour Le Man in France? That will be the race I really really want to go.

Hey guys I'm back !

have had time to go thru all my pics (200 !) but here are a few

http://www.eazi-k.com/accord/f12004/best/

it was excellent and Takuma was 3rd in qualifying and finished 5

Jenson was 8th but, I was a bit disappointed when he lost it in the qualifying lap..it could have been good.

more pics later..

ohhhhh and we saw Takuma Sato up close and wished him good luck during the pit lane walk.
