So how's everyone getting ready for the 2010 Season? For me, I just picked up a 55" Samsung LED 240Hz 8000Series, an alarm clock (to wake up at 3am), and a surround system. I still have the 2009 BMW Sauber gears, since Sauber didn't changed their name, the gears are good for the 2010 season too :D

Same, but bought the Macca team zip-tee. 55 inch Samsung LCD 120Hz due March 2nd. LED is very impressive, but not sure if I want to go all the way, with my first flat screen. Tell me, does it have all that integrated webs stuff onboard? PS3 is also in my equation for blue ray and web, so your answer may change my mind set-up..

Buying a second Thermos mug so that I can have half a litre of tea kept warm over the course of the race. Of course, this means I'll also need a standard mug of tea so that I can have something to drink in the first hour because the Thermos mug I have keeps tea too hot to drink for about 45 minutes or so >.<

Aside from that, I've managed to clear up every grand prix weekend in my schedule, have booked off the Friday of the Australian grand prix so that I can watch the practice sessions live and will be doing the same for the Japanese grand prix. I don't care enough for Shanghai and Sepang to do the same, though. Also, will be watching them on a 42" LCD TV this year instead of the box we had last year. No surround sound for 2010, though. Unless we get something in the coming weeks.

I want to get myself an HD TV but I want to get my British GP ticket booked first, so I'll probably get one after my April payday.

Also I want to get my hands on a Barrichello Williams cap whenever they are launched and wear them during races, along with either my 06 sponsor shirt, my Rothmans sweater or the Canon team shirt I got at Silverstone.

I bought a 3rd monitor for my computer and a TV tuner so I can have my live timing setup as well as watching the race and have chat open :D . I have also decided what food I'm going to have to watch the first race and have made sure I'm free for all 3 days of the Bahrain and Australian Grand Prix's. So plans are going well :) .

if i had a dvr, id record them.

Last year when my fta sat went down, i had to do the proxy trick and watch BBC broadcast for a few races.. dam BBC slaughters the speedtv broadcast.. not that the speedtv is bad, but the BBC broadcast is better put together and overall more exciting. They give you all the nitty gritty details. The Speedtv cast can only commentate from a tv feed that they are given *besides Peter Windsor being the only one at the actual race*.

But doing that proxy trick was such a pain because its soo hard to find a good free UK based proxy.

Luckily we got a paying sat subscription now, so I will be setting my alarm.

Soo many times last year though that Id wake up at 4am for a race, and find myself falling asleep halfway through it. hahaha
