So, I had an interesting experience today. I got to meet the legend that is Bob Jane whilst I was at work, we were at Calder Park Raceway. He took me and my boss for a spin down the quarter mile...at 40kms an hour albeit lol, but still pretty cool getting into a car with a famous driver.
Anybody else had an experience with a famous driver?

Did you ask him whats going on with Friday night drags farken?

Not me but my dad has been in carlos sainz toyota celic being driven by niell bates
Pretty fucking cool i reckon

Haha, na. That was actually one of the questions of was going to ask the people at Calder Park, but then I didn't realise that i was going to meet Bob so I just got distracted..and plus i was there to work so that took some of my attention too...only a little bit though

2 people at my work used to work for Bob Jane. They both reckon he is a ****.

yeah he was gettin quite pissy towards the end of it all... ah well he is old after all

I installed Allan Moffat's foxtel. Great bloke, very very down to earth. I'd always thought he was a wanker on TV, but turns out he's a good fella.

I wouldnt expect anything else. I would be the same if I was his age and some chick was trying to take all my money.

This isn't from my personal experiance, but my mum learnt to drive on the Philip Island racetrack, as my grandpa worked on Len Lukey's house (on the race track), they were good mates, ...
for those of you who didn't know, Len Lukey started the performance exhausts (when he was a kid in his backyard), now their caleld Lukey exhausts...and Len also owned philip island racetrack....

He didn't actually know where most of the stuff was, but I don't mind got to drive around the raceway for about an hr, nice little bludge

Well through my dad being a racing driver(60-80)and team manger from 80-mid 90's ive sort of got to know many of the guys involved with car racing .
I was taken for a drive around phillip island by sir jack brabham and stirling moss .
I grew up with The richards family. They owned a holiday house next to ours in Paynesville . Steven actually met his wife up there.
I was also lucky enough to spend a half a day hanging with DAvid Coulthard in 96.(dad was cams pit inspector for team).

Well other than that im friends with Andrew Bogut. (nba basketballer) I grew up playing with him and also his grandparents and my parents go walking most days in the week,

You win the respect.. To some people that's more important.

I met Ross and Jimmy Stone, James Courtney, Glenn Seton, Russell Ingall and Natalie Lowndes a couple of years ago. I swear I've seen John Bowe on my train, twice, but I didn't say anything coz I thought "Can't be him. WTF would he be doing on public transport this early in the morning...?"

back in the days when calder was a big thing my mum was his personal assistant for about 10 years so while she was working with him i got all the good stuff from him and tones and tones of rides in all the cars, even in some crashes while with drivers.

rodney has more to do with calder these days anyway

bob jane won't lift a finger to sort out calder cos he's a tight arse prick. someone shoot the old turd and fix up calder.

someone shoot you

jamie whincup lives in the same estate as my mate and we regularly see him down at the pub when he isnt away racing.... pretty cool i reckon

I have met John Travolta twice when he flew his 707 into Sydney airport. Pretty decent fellow, loves his aircraft.
