If you are wondering what a Grand Prix sounds like, here is a brief clip I took with the camera. I think I need a tripod. You will of course need your speakers on and I suggest you jack the volume up so that you hear as we do.
Oh, please. We accidentally exited Melb that weekend and heard not a scrap of the rabid mating mosquitoes (which we do every year from Oakleigh). It gives me a headache, that incessant, niggly noise just off in the distance but just loud enough to irritate the edge of my consciousness.
Hello Andrew: And that it just the sound of the cars.....the hullaballoo that hits the town, after the race is merely a whiff of burnt rubber, is deafening. August in Budapest.....
I've just listened to this on Thursday evening with the Richmond v Carlton match on television and Bruce McAvaney commentating full throttle in the background and your video drowned all that out. I had no idea the race sounded so loud at the high-rise.
Victor, of course. The football. What are the scores? That is why the traffic viewed from the balcony is absolutely crazy tonight. I forgot about the footy. Well not entirely. I have been thinking of Ben concealing his drugs in one of his orifices. The races don't last too long, but the cumulative effect of the four days is wearing. I was anti GP before we moved here and I still am. But I certainly knew about before I moved here, so I walk a fine line.
Oh, please.

Turn up the volume? No thanks, I remember how it sounds still, plus we just had the clipsal race here so that's as bad.

Nahhh! I think I'll leave that one. I much prefer the sound of the lions roar from Melbourne Zoo!
ReplyDeleteOMG no thanks!! That's horrible Andrew, were you and R going crazy?
ReplyDeleteI think you need to plan to have a long weekend away next year....?
ReplyDeleteReally is the secret Jayne. Leave early.
ReplyDeleteRiver, car races and classical music simultaneously. What a laugh.
JayLa, so you get a turn at it too.
Christine, the lions early in the morning sound wonderful.
Grace, for much of the time I was at work.
Kath, it will need planning, but yes.
I dare not play it, I may throw things!
ReplyDeleteFen, I must check the stats and see if anyone has listened to it.
