(89.248.132.---) posts : 142 Date : 10-06-08 23:02 If bernie ever said that bulgaria was to host an F1 race what streets do you think it would be best held on. I think around the bottom road over old nessebar winding around being averlooked by the cafes, with all boats around the waters edge. then across the causway into the newpart before a u turn back to old nessebar. |

We sat in a taxi and watched a film been shot there. It was a car chase and Nick you are right it looked great and would indeed be a great spot for F1  bigsal |

(---.range81-158.btcentralplus.com) posts : 1721 Date : 10-07-08 03:15 Live 15 miles from Glasgow in Dumbarton, it's a superb city with some great architecture and history, and it is not full of pretentious prats like a lot of cities in the u.k. I go to every celtic game so i spend a lot of time in glasgow. the city has it's social problems and and there is a lot of poverty in areas, but the people will give you the time of day unlike many many places around. |

(---.redstone-isp.net) posts : 2184 Date : 10-07-08 10:45 Oh Yes! But the one up (or down) from assenevgrad to chepelare is quite fun, for me anyway, not for Nicky though who has her eyes closed most of the way. 55mins top to bottom is my record lol
