Excuse me, I'm a F1 fan, and it isn't all about the action on track, the drama, the glamour, the vroom vroom. Like any sport, it is about strengthening relationships with your friends, family, and spending time together to enjoy something together.
So I'm not turning back. I'm gonna nod in approval that you're using the absolute cash cow that is corporate F1 (and lego!) to help strengthen your relationship with your family.
That's a good thing.
F1 has helped me strengthen already strong relationships, and make new ones, even here on HIVE :D
There are some pretty good looking kits out there at the moment.
This is the first season that I have paid to get access, which means this is the first time I have been a le to watch in about 15 years. This season seems decent too!
When I went to Melbourne for a concert recently, it was the week before the F1 season. My sister in law knows nothing about F1, and she was so surprised about ALL the F1 stuff everywhere, even when she suggested we wander through the Lego store to take a look at the lego flowers, or whatever it is was that she wanted to point out.
There was a large amount of caltrops (lego) around the place. I don't collect lego, but we all have our vices. While I'm not in the plastic crack cult, I have ordered a significant amount of cardboard crack, for the upcoming Final Fantasy / Magic the Gathering cross over.
No doubt you'll see pictures in my inevitable posts on the topic.
One day, I will take the family to a race so that they can experience the full four days, not just the racing. It should be pretty easy in Europe - still expensive though.
Not as expensive as some of those card game vices though!
Any preference for which one? I'd love to go to Spa, only because that lush forest biome is BEAUTIFUL.
Spain is another strong contender for the hordes of gothic architecture. All the other places just feel way too "purpose built" race track for my liking, and don't have the other bits and pieces that would hold me in wonder outside of the race.
Of course, it is a longer trip from Australia, so the sundries would have to be worthwhile. :D
Not sure which. Barcelona would be great, as the city rocks. And Italy is always a nice place to visit. While a terrible race, there is something about Monaco - perhaps when I have a yacht.
I've been to Monaco, not even during a race. It felt like... uhh, too much money required. :D
Yeah - the money is the issue there for sure. Next time... you can stay on my yacht.
