    Savoring every moment of the TV coverage of this year's Monaco Grand Prix weekend..........Anyone know how much a 'transient slip' costs for the week of the GP?

    Might give it a go next year if the fare is not TOO high........:D

    It depends on how well you know the Harbour Master and how many "small brown envelopes" you can pass over.

    It's nice to know that the current HM used to work for my Uncle.:D

    I am diametrically opposed to the political bent of NBC, but...............spectacular coverage of the GP 'scene' in the harbor, trackside, and on the track.:D

    It was pretty good coverage,...sort of a true 'fair and balanced' reporting that others lay claim to....:rolleyes::D

    The battle for 2nd and 3rd was pretty good at the end.

    But the Indy finish was better. :D

    Depends on location... but as a rough guide figure the price of a new car... which car depends were you are... but if you think German any one of the big three Porsche, BMW or Mercedes Benz will be in the range... for a nice spot but understand the race sponsors get all the best spaces that you cannot afford anyway!
