We just got Speedvision out here in the sticks of jersey. So I have to go online to cehck out the time for the F1 race this AM. BINGO! for one of the first times in my love of the sport I can catch a LIVE race!!! excellent I think as I plan my strategy for getting chores done. I finish everything up by 10:30 and am playing with the Son and dog when my wife pops out back with her jacket ready to go shopping for all those things we "need". I just started a new job that has left me stressed and busy (added a 2 hours commute per day so ther isnt a lot of time left at home during hte week ) SO I figure some quality time with the family is a good thing I can tape the race and pretend its live - besides, since I have had SPEEDVISION I notice its about 50% commercials anyway. We get back at 2PM when the race is over, but I have my tape, which I notice is popped out ofthe VCR a sure sign the tape ended. I think "nah, she would have made sure that there was enogh tape I told her it was at least 2 hours of racing" SO I get my coke and chips, settle in and have to FF through a million epsiodes of Friends - sit through all the pre-race stuff and then I get my start............. 7 to 10 laps later and 2 commercial breaks the tape stops and rewind - there wasnt enough tape.... I alomst cried as I sat down at the PC to start up F12K and see If I could beat Mika as well as I saw the ferrari doing on TV...... I havent decided if I need to be a good sport about his or not. ed

I guess I shouldn't tell you that Schu won.

DirecTV? If so the FOX Sports channels will be reairing it over and over again throughout the week. I'm going to tape it tommorrow since it conflicted with the Bristol WC race. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten mailto:[email hidden] http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ ----------------------------------- Ed Kloskowski <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8bltnh$n6v$[email hidden]... > We just got Speedvision out here in the sticks of jersey. > > So I have to go online to cehck out the time for the F1 race this AM. > BINGO! for one of the first times in my love of the sport I can catch a LIVE > race!!! excellent I think as I plan my strategy for getting chores done. > > I finish everything up by 10:30 and am playing with the Son and dog when my > wife pops out back with her jacket ready to go shopping for all those things > we "need".

DC's been DQ'd. MS hasn't. So Jenson becomes the youngest *ever* F1 point scorer! -- David. "After all, a mere thousand yards - such a harmless little knoll, really." (Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh)

Don't think it were the planks either. Oh-oh--this is off-topic innit? Will I be the first one plonked fer a plank? --DK "David Buttery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I'm hearin' you buddy! The race was aired live here in Australia at 3:00 am, which I wasn't willing to stay up for. Set the VCR to record it, and made sure that the VCR clock was set right. (How many times has that caught you out?) Get up in the morning to watch the race, only to find that nothing has happened. The damn clock was set right, only problem was that the DATE was wrong! The clock was set one day into the future, and now I read on the Net that it was a pretty damn good race with some actual overtaking on the track. Anyone living in Melb. (west suburbs) willing to loan me a tape? Not a happy camper at the moment.... Rafe Mc On Sun, 26 Mar 2000 16:02:46 -0500, "Ed Kloskowski" <[email hidden]> wrote:
