What to do?

denI am in a quandry. Tomorrow is the day of the Wellington Vintage Fair, which will be full of old machinery and steam engines, all restored to working condition.
But, tomorrow is the first Formula 1 race.
In Wellington they'll have traction steam engines, old tractors, hot air engines, and early internal combustions engines.
But, the first Formula 1 race.
Tomorrow Wellington will host the world's largest gathering of steam-powered motor cars, all in working order.
But... Formula 1.
Steam.
F1

And how you feel to make it real
Real as anything you've seen
Get a life with this dreamer's dream

Date: 5 Mar 2004 19:10 (UTC)F1 is just overgrown sewing machines zooming around in circles.
That IS a dilemma!
Date: 5 Mar 2004 20:03 (UTC)I kinda vote for the vintage stuff - the F1 would be expen$ive.
Although I can see where the excitement would be at the race, being in one spot there wouldn't to me be as much fun as seeing the multi-cam views on video, even though there's something about being there "live".
You'll probably have more fun at the vintage meet as it would be more "hands on" and the vintage machinery lives.
F1 cars are neat machines, but they have no soul.
Go Vintage!
