Oh, there were ~40000 people around that screen in and around the river. So, you can imagine people singing together, sighing together, screaming together... It was all there.Quote:

Yes, I meant action reached people - irrespective of where they are - inside the stadium or outside it.
Though, AFAIK, huge screens exist in stadiums too... :D :D :)
Yeah, read about that in the HDYF thread... And although you didn't actually mention how you feel, I can imagine, knowing how much you love your car... Pity... :( I hope it's nothing too dramatic, though. :)Quote:

Oh, I see.. That means that your good catch was unintentional... :D But you know what? That makes it even better... :DQuote:

However, there is a silver lining to every cloud and as we waited for the police, photos to be taken et al, the Renault driver and I really appreciated each other's cool temperament, discussed our past and present, and finally - she and I became good friends in the meanwhile... :D :thumb:
We even filed the damage documents together (Schadensmeldung), and the last thing we talked about was to promise catching up with each other on lunch again... :D
So much for my disgust for speeding Renault drivers... :rolleyes:

But, yes - thats a real cool line...
"She"?... Ok, I see... :cool:Quote:

Keep us posted... ;)Quote:
