Guenther Steiner - Surviving to Drive

[Red9zero]

Anyone else reading this ? I only started this morning and I can't help but read it in his voice. Even some of the spelling (Foc) is how he speaks. He really is a proper character and this book is making me like him even more.

I’ve downloaded the audiobook, but it’s queued behind Lee McKenzie’s, which I’ve already started, and some podcasts I’m behind on.

Looking forward to it.

Does Guenther narrate the audiobook? I don't normally do them but would be tempted if he did.

Yes, he does.

Just finished the audio book, well worth a listen, glad Gunther narrated it as it just wouldn't be the same done by anyone else. Some interesting things on the formation of Haas & the Mick situation.

I'm going to see Guenther on his tour soon - and I'm immensely looking forward to it

Anybody been yet?

[scrw.]

Yep, no great surprises, interesting 2 hours though, especially on the pre Haas days

[generationx]

I see he's written another one: "Unfiltered". Worth picking up?

I used to work with Guenther many years ago - he was a proper good laugh - but lost touch way before he got "famous".

Yes, I went to the first one which was held in Ipswich. Not as sweary as I thought it would be but it’s an enjoyable evening.

I am going to see him on Sunday, glad to hear it is an enjoyable event!

Yep Cardiff also, few beers and a curry planned plus wales vs Fiji so town will have a great atmosphere. Day off on Monday

[jules_s]

We're back

Very enjoyable - more about his career/technical/business than sweary/funny (but there are funny and sweary bits)

They overran quite a bit which meant the Q&A got shortened - which was a shame.

All in all he comes across as 'Guenther' - just a really likeable bloke

We saw him in Bath yesterday and agree with the above comments - a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours.

Yep just back from a few beers and a curry after the afternoon/evening with GS in Cardiff Agree with the above, also Q&A quite short but over 2hrs of talking and it was a nice afternoon out.

Worst thing they did with that audiobook was have him narrate it. Could barely understand a word he was saying.

Saw him in notts last night. Not sure I'd rush to recommend it to be honest. He talked rather quickly to begin with and the PA system wasn't all that loud so he was very difficult to understand.

Obviously a very full life and a lot of things to talk about in a short time, but honestly felt a little like listening to his Wikipedia career summary!
