    Well I was bored.. so I thought I would post up about my experience of meeting BAR Honda F1 driver Jenson Button at Manly Beach, Australia.

    We had just immigrated over here from the UK and our first day landed we stayed at a hotel in Manly, we decided to go down to a cafe and get a bite to eat, and saw a cafe with only a couple of people at it.. and said lets try it. We sat down outside overlooking the sea and the only other occupied table, behind us, my father said "Jenson Buttons sitting behind you", I didnt believe him but when I turned round yeah there he was with his father aswell. Not that exciting I know, but we are avid supporters of him... :)

    Oh also forgot to say, the best thing was that the aussies dont follow F1 hardly at all, and so no one knew who he was... we were totally undisturbed, talking to him for a good 30 mins :) really nice guy.

    Photo attached.

    It must have been pretty cool to talk to him. I'm a Ferrari guy but a fan of Jensen. I was really happy for him when he won a few weeks ago.
