Hi,

I have just found this a few hours ago. Seems like a really nice place, but I see the Paddock Club forum asks for full membership. How can I get that? I can't find it anywhere on the site. Do I need to be a junior member for some time or so? Who do I have to contact to become full member?

In F1 the Paddock Club is the place to be, so I think it's the same here too :-) Can anybody tell me if that forum is really as cool as a real Paddock Club and if there are real drivers there?

Sleeper,

You will become a full member when you have posted 30 posts.

Have fun.

Sleeper - Real Drivers in the Paddock Club?? Well we're "real" somethings, that's for sure. It's a secret society...

Get posting buddy, after 30, when initiation is through and you are a full-fledged member, ask Pit Babe for the key to the PC, if she let's you in you are in for "Initiation #2"!!!

secret society, that sounds intriguing!

30 posts will probably cost me a few days. Wouldn't be fair to post only crap messages for sake of the count, right?

Thanks for the replies mel and Andy

[FordPrefect]

and the first round of drinks will be on you

looking foward to 'meeting' you.

Sleeper,
The Paddock Club is a place for F1 fans to just talk about subjects that are not F1 related. It is a bit wild and crazy at times, but 've only been there fo a little time. So enjoy your time on the BB. And if you'd like, check out the chat room. I thinkthat's my favorite place

Not only that - it wouldn't work...I check the posts to see what they were about

[tallguy]

NOT TRUE !!!
Pitbabe can be found drunk and snoozing in the lounge bar of the club most nights.
She got the Admin status cause none of us wanted it.
She never learned to read, so is perfect for the job ( plus we feel sorry for the unemployed )

[Pit Babe]

That explains how you got into the Paddock, tall.

[The Sleeper]

Wow, I'm looking forward already! I'm glad I found this place really

[Rich]

It is true, tallguy. Pitty read each of my 1000+ posts before allowing me into Paddock. And it was touch and go for a while. Fortunately, I'm very good at begging though.

[mini mum]

I thought being a Junior member was quite cool - made me feel young!!! Now you have destroyed that illusion. I am glad that I found this site, most other forums I have visited are dead boring. I am really enjoying reading this one. See you in the Paddock club soon Sleeper.

[Pit Babe]

Rich, you're such a {edited}

[Andy]

Hey PitBabe - Can't we identify PC newbies?? I say we make them wear a stupid hat or something as initiation for the first week or so?!?!?!

[The Sleeper]

mini mum, ditto
andy, I've worked with PC's for quite a few years now
rich, 1000 posts??? For how long have you been here?

[mini mum]

O.K. Andy, I don't mind wearing the silly hat, just so long as it hasn't got Ferrari on it! That would be tooooo cruel.

[smarty]

Sleeper,

Don't bother too much to post crap posts. Just go to Formula One Job Information forum and post as much as you want. Noone reads/edits/contributes there

[Pit Babe]

smarty: ...*whack* *whack whack whack whack whack*

Andy: Just pick on all the people you don't recall seeing there before.

[Rich]

Don't ya just love it when PB gets in spanking mode?

The Sleeper, I'm just shy of 2000 posts at present and one of our long-standing members has broken the 3K barrier. When you reach such a position, you've become part of the furniture, and there is no hope of ever getting away.

[mini mum]

Just out of idle curiosity, where has Formula One Job Information Forum gone to?
Can any one tell me whether it is possible to change my password, and if so how?

[Andy]

Sleeper - "PC" as in Paddock Club not Personal Computer!

Pit Babe - I like your style!

I'm getting near 500 posts and feel like I've been here a lifetime... 3K posts??!! Maybe I DO have a life!!

HEY! This was my 502nd post!! I take back that bit about having a life!!

mini mum - One Ferrari Dunce-Cap coming up!

Give us your old one and We'll change it!

[Ruud de la Rosa]

PS do some post ever get deleted because otherwise there would be to many posts?
I have got almost 700, but I recall having 500 a half year ago, when I was 3 months on the board! I should have 1500 or am I mistalking?!

[mini mum]

Andy thats not kind - I couldn't be seen in a Ferrari hat, people might think I was a tifosi (perish the thought!)
Ruud de la Rosa I'm naive but I'm not that stupid!

[smarty]

Wow! I feel I've caused Formula One Job Information forum to be gone. At least it seems I pulled the trigger. Now I really deserve some more spanking.

[Pit Babe]

*PB arms herself with a cricket bat and goes after smarty*

[smarty]

uf!

[The Sleeper]

Andy, gimme the hat, number 30 is here
