I’m not 100 percent sure that I understood correctly, but… I think I’ve been invited to the 2010 Australian F1 Grand Prix in March. Is it still in March? Heck if I know…

And it’s all thanks to Craig Lowndes and that bloody Roary the Race Car. It’s no Thomas the Tank Engine, but then I guess Thomas could never get me invited to the F1, either.

Man, that makes three years in a row. I don’t even LIKE F1 all that much. But I DO like walking around and checking out all the classic cars and retired race cars on display around the outside of the track. So that’ll make it worth it.

Now, I just need to find out if I was actually invited or if I completely misunderstood!
