**jimborae** · 07-07-2005, 02:47 PM

Today's been rather sureal with the tragic events in London, and now Schuey & Rubens are in my office building as I type. Their doing promo/sponsor work ahead of this weekends grand prix & as Vodafone are the major sponsor they've come to visit us in Newbury!

Shame I can't post any pics as I've got loads.

Ask them if they'll be racing Michelin tyres any time soon

**DavidM** · 07-07-2005, 02:50 PM

I would imagine they'll be racing cars, not tyres.

**Swafe** · 07-07-2005, 03:01 PM

I missed a with out in the middle of that, now who looks silly

**jimborae** · 07-07-2005, 03:02 PM

Actually my mate won the pitstop challenge with Schuey. Basically we have a replica Ferrari F1 car at work & they had a competion to see who could change a tyre fastest. Rubens & two others on one side against Schuey, my mate & another.
Schumacher, Mik & the other guy managed it in just under 4 seconds.

Is it me or is there more than a little "camp hairdresser" about Michael Schumacher?

**Dougal** · 07-07-2005, 03:32 PM

What I wouldn't give to have let my stepfather meet them, claied it was all my doing, and then make him shut up for life.

Yeah I'm in the big HQ campus building off the A339. It's actually a really nice working enviroment. The offices are all open plan, nice light, airy buildings and there are a couple of big ponds in the campus that some local ducks have now made their home.

Where's your house?

**shiato storm** · 07-07-2005, 04:46 PM

deepest darkest highclere-ish area. near the downs so its easy to get out on the bike! gran's old house we 'took over', maybe 15yrs ago now.
I'm not there at teh mo - live in bristol but rentals are mostly during summer...so peaceful round there. I noticed the voda place popping up over the years, never got close enough to peek in but looks nice from a distance...

Yep Highclere's certainly a nice place to live and the Ridgeway is good for a bit of mountain biking. Have you ever tried cycle up Beacon Hill ?? It's impossible but it's a good laugh trying.

Ahhh well I'll see them tomorrow, Im going on a corporate sponsored trip with the BMW Williams F1 team tomorrow at Silverstone

Got pit lane tour, garage tour meet the drivers etc etc.

you'd think he'd get bored of wearing red and go to a different team just for the hell of it.
