Very cool way to spend a day.

How are your riders doing, are they feeling better this afternoon?

Derek aches quite a bit, as expected.
Justin is bummed at how his riding went. Should've been a little better prepared on suspension...lesson learned

Both are enjoying the euro experience

That's good. They have you to thank for giving them that euro experience.

Is that you in the F1 car? I thought it was Harry Shearer. Just curious about the steering unit, any cost or amount it is worth posted near it ?

The real question I have is, How was the food?...Stuff yourself??

Germans like Mayo with their pommes frites.

Usually it's a curry ketchup or mayo (the Dutch are the big mayo/frites people)
But guy said he only had regular ketchup, so I passed
The curry ketchup is the shit

I don't like the curry. I would rather have the mayo if no regular ketchup is available. Where I was you usually only had a choice between curry or mayo so I would get the mayo (and that seemed to be the most popular choice by the locals where I was stationed).

No visit to Porsche for a lap around their track? They used to give rides.
I am jealous of you planting your ass in Mika's F1 car. Computer Associates had one at a Vegas trade show. I tried to step into it and they quickly shooed me away.
