Not very exciting race, huh?
All robots went down... The farthest they went was less than 10 miles (over a 150 to 210 miles race)... Even though I hate Schumi, I rather keep watching F1...

Hehe, I have nothing to offer in return as trading would be a no no. I hadn't heard the race results though. Is it true that they all fell in the first part?

Regardless of the quibbling over the meaning of the word trade, the spirit of this thread is in violation of the request to not trade shows.
Not passing judgment or even really caring about the issue. Just noting with amusement the games being played with words.

LOL, yeah. The first time I read the title, I thought too many people had been asking SS to attend trade shows!

Big Grin: I first thought it was something about trade shows too. But I was certain that it was only my twisted mind that could make such a mistake.
(I think that I just accused V_D_O of having a twisted mind.) Oh well...
