its unbelievable hard to take photos of formula one cars as they whizz past at like 200 mph!!

the best ones I got...

[Har5ha]

le deuxieme...

unfortunely..kimi wasn't around that I could see to take pics of!

[Har5ha]

Looks like you got a good seat! you can see two parts of the track from where you are!!!
2nd vid didn't work (might be my laptop) but 1st was fine! bloody loud on the laptop.
Must have been a hell of a weekend!
Cant wait for mine at silverstone now, not quite as glam' as monaco but hey'!!!!

[Har5ha]

and last but not the least...my e90 for the weekend...!

was great...a 320 d! went through hell to get it...begged the car rental man..from a 206 vert to chryser vert...to a one series...finally he relented to the e90 which i spotted in the corner..and proceeded to give me a silver one!

I asked if I could have the black one...and that was the last straw...he literally gave us the keys and stormed off..but it was worth it...!

u were right...could see 2 sections of the track...one in front of us was awesome..and then could see a section in the distance...! we could hear them coming back which was below us..and that was loud..even tho we couldn't see it.

Sorry was still uplaoding the second link when I posted..that one the cars are going slowly as it was over..so u can see them a bit better rather than them just whizzing past before u knew what hit u! :)

Would you go again ???? and how was the 320d ??? all very important questions. F1 does rock [cool

[M5 SC]

You going to watch anymore F1 grandprix's this season? but i suppose none of the other circuits will really compare?!!!

Monaco must be the best...

[Har5ha]

I would def go again...was quite an experience! Unfortuently we didn't party the way u are meant to when u go to Monaco grand prix...so will have to do that next time.

the 320d..was amazingly fuel efficent. It was pretty basic...not many options as its a rental car..but the interior was very nice..spacious..and nicely laid out. And the exterior is growing on me too...I really liked it!!

[Har5ha]

I had never even watched the formula one on tv before I went to Monaco..I am ashamed to say!

But will def be watching them on tv..and go when I can!! Trying to work on tix for Monaco for next year already!!

[M5 SC]

Well i'm at silverstone for the F1 this july and been watching it for ages.
I went to monaco at the start of the year and LOVED it! and thats when the F1 wasn't even on!
If you dont mind mind me asking what did it cost for the weekend? (you can tell me to f**k off if you want!!!) You can PM the answer if you dont want the world to know!!!
Defo' wanna try for monaco next year!!! [cool

[Har5ha]

flights were 210 on airfrance...hotel can vary..depending on where u stay...we stayed in cannes! flights if booked in time are much cheaper..but we only decided 10 days before...my friends paid..350 on easyjet coz they wanted to fly direct.

we didn't end up clubbing that much...which is where it ends up getting expensive.

and a friend got me one ticket and I hooked up the other through the bank..so that was on the house! So am not broke as I thought I would be when I got back!!

the e90 rental was 250 pounds for 4 days on ebookers..which is really not a bad deal at all!!

[M5 SC]

sound's good! i gotta go next year!!!
the E90 rental was very reasonable as well...
[cool :D

[Har5ha]

I rented a c180 auto with ac...and they tried to skank me with some crap...but we weren't having it!!

so manual 320d instead...but I really liked it!!

Enjoy silverstone..am sure it will be amazing...don't forget ear plugs!!

[M5 SC]

I'll be sure to get some!!!
Will post pic's up here as well when i get back.

[Afif]

looked like fun :D..i remember when f1 came to regent street. Thats when i first realised the kind of noise they output :eek:.

[Tin]

cool pics harsha, sound is just mental from those F1 cars!! [ok

[BigFas]

Looks like you had an awesome time :) I wanna go now

[peppernick]

Wow!!! Great pics....I think I'll go crazy in Monaco with my camera.

Awesome trip Harsha [jam

[Raj]

Pics are awesome. I have always wanted to go to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix, but always thought it would would cost the same as a world cruise. Cost a fair bit when my wife and I went last summer, but with those prices you have quoted Harsha, i think I may be there next year :D .

[Har5ha]

the hotels are ridiculously expensive..must warn u!!

and eating out there is quite expensive...average price of a coke is like 8 euros!

but it was worth it...the clubbing is what breaks the bank..and we were sooo tired that we barely clubbed. We bought a magnum of belvedere...barely touched it..and took it back to the hotel..lol!!
