neil Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Great weekend Very hot and loads of action to be seen and heard. Got into the campsite right outside the gate again so didnt have to walk miles to the circuit and back. Was on the radio for a brief time just to say "I dont have a clue" on the answer to the question, Who held the Silverstone lap record in 1985? Here is a slection of the pics. Our campsite The Red Arrows The ferrari fans moneyshot Until the next time thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theresa Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Fcukin 'ell Neil, what camera have you got? They are excellent pictures I had a 4.0 megapixel camera with me and my 2.0 megapixel phone camera and didn't get shots as good as that. I'll post some pics up later, when I get them all sorted, as I have a few good ones. We went and had a helicopter ride as well, so got some nice shots of the circuit and surrounding areas from the sky. We were camping about a mile from the circuit, but was worth it for a slightly quieter few days It was an excellent weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Not one of those huge things some people seem to always bring with them in suitcases 8x zoom and 4mp. Helecopter ride Nice one bet that was good. Defo get the pics up. And I couldnt help but PMSL at the people coming back on the sat evening after the football who had had so much to drink they couldnt work out how to unlock cars or open tents and were just dropping down on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theresa Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Do I take it someone likes ferrari Those hele pics are amazing I will defo have to do that one day Yes, always been a Ferrari fan, especially with Schumacher as a driver I do have other photos of other cars though and I must admit, I've always liked the look of the McLarens. We thought we would ask the price of the helicopter ride, just out of interest, thinking that we wouldn't be able to afford it, but would ask anyway. It was 'only' £35.00, which was a lot cheaper than what we expected, so thought, fcuk it, once in a lifetime opportuntity maybe, so decided to do it.You got into a car at Abbey or Hangar Straight and they took you to the helipad and then you were up in the air for about 5 minutes, but seemed longer than that.We thought it was worth it and had never been in a helicopter before, so thought what better time and place to go up in one than the British F1 I don't have many goals in life before I die and have pretty much done most of what I've wanted. I only have to go up in a hot air balloon now and then I can die happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
