[enigmatic]

damn, cho! your one lucky bastard :shock:
very nice pics indeed! that Fosters girl is beautiful..
so tell me, how does one go about obtaining such pit passes?

great pics, can't wait to see more :P

[sikx5]

Nice pics dude, We bought three passes($1700AU), had pit access as well, but cho had box seats..$$$$$, we should have been in the corner before the straight :(

[TT]

Nice preview :D the girl is hot and your dad's pic of the Ferrari is perfect :D

[cho_888]

yeah he took a lot to get that photo. To get those tickets you need to know someone. Eg. managing directer of fosters international.

[tigerx]

i am in deep envy.

[stracing]

those pit passes used to be so easy to get. as a general public all you had to was fork out the cash. nowadays even if you have the cash, you can't get in unless you're connected to some corporation involved in F1. and they say F1 is losing intrest. i wonder why :roll:

and you're one lucky bastard cho

[adlinyusman]

damnit cho, you outdid me matey. :)

Now you got me jealous. I'm green with envy!! 0X

[Jabba]

One of the most enjoyable threads on JW.... 8) 8) 8)

[SFDMALEX]

Cho how did you get inside the Ferrari stand?

[cho_888]

first off you need one of these.

http://www.fotosidan.se/obj/productpic/3e88315eabe54.gif

then you need a really big lens.

then you need to suck up to the ferrari dealer.

then he lets you in. :D :D

ok here is what i did. With my over sixed camera, i asked him if he would take some photos for me of the inside of the cars. He took one lookat the camera and said come inside. I think it scared him. then he started asking questions about it, and then he asked how much it was and he was stuned.
