I am only on computer for a few minutes a couple of times a week. Let me know your thoughts on my story, I would like some kind of input.

It's an interesting story, though I'd have to say you must have been the luckiest guy at the GP. 8)

I read it...

On one hand, I found it a little bit too romantic to be posted as an article in a F1 website (I am usually looking for opinions or press releases: cold and to the point, so this article sort of "surprised me")

On the other hand, when I finished, I thought something like: "Damn! He is lucky... Wish I will ever have a chance like that".

It started as a diary like account of what happened, because I wanted to remember it more fluidly as the years went by. But it took on a novelesque sort of feel, hope you all like it, bizarre eh, but like Murray says, "anything can happen in formula 1, and usually does". :shock:

Lugo mate, that's quite a story. But I have to disagree with the mates here in the thread, I have a hard time believing it. Don't you think your exploding it just a tad?

I tried my hand at fiction once and couldn't make it through the first 2 sentences, oh no bro, that all happened exactly like it is written, pretty neat eh.

I think that your article has been read by more people than just 2 or 3. The issue is that most persons doesn't want to express an opinion (either positive or negative) about the (written) work of someone else, unless they can do it in a fast way, without revealing anything about their true self, which makes me think...

What about a "grading scheme" for the articles? In that way, you can have a more accurate idea of how many persons did read your article and what is the "average" opinion about it... (although, this idea should not be in the general section...)

Yeah so at Indy, in 2005, I met some F1 mechanics and hit it off with them. Sam Micheal invited me to the garage and then stole my hat! and I loved that hat. Anyone want to talk about the hat maybe, anyone?!

I'd like to read your story, but where exactly is it located? It certainly sounds interesting and I'd be willing to give you some feedback being a writer myself....
