F1 fanaticity!

Post

Well lets talk about fanaticity.....

Well I haven't lost a F1 GP since Ti-Aida 1995 (I fell asleep before the start of the race)....I have all GP since 1997 on tape....I have 169 Minichamps die-cast models scale 1/43 and 21 scale 1/18.....around 60 Formula 1 books (tech and none tech)....subscriber of F1 Racing mag since 1996.....Racecar Engineering subscriber since the begining of this year...though I have the collection from 1993 to 1997....I have almost 30 F1 merchandise T-shirts.....quite a few signed pics (by Hill, Alesi, Mazzacane, Lamy, Regazzoni, Verstappen).....Damon Hill fan club member for 4 years......a few paintings (2 of them signed by the driver). And that's basicly it....oh just remembered....have been to every F1 test at the Estoril track since 2001....in one of them a security officer had to pull me down from a fence at turn 1.....the test was closed to public...and me and my dad had driven 200 km just to watch the test....DAMN MICHELIN ENGINEERS, WHAT'S THE BIG SECRECY :?:

I have the Ferrari 2003 team shirt, 2003 BMW shirt, 2004 Renault shirt, 1:18 HotWheels F2002 and R23, Minichamps 1:18 MP4/17D and FW25.

Also own a Maisto 2000 Audi R8, AutoArt 1999 Toyota GTOne, AutoArt 2001 Corvette C5R, and numerous others which I think the quality sucks. Plan to get a Minichamps 2001 M3 GTR and possibly BAR006. I would like to see the 2003 Bentley Speed 8 in 1:18 w/ opening doors; i hate AutoArt's shelled body crap.

The only books I own are the F1 2002/2003 analysis and Racecar Aerodynamics by that guy who writes for Racecar Engineering. I read F1 Racing but am starting to read Racecar Engineering more.

I have recorded a lot of 2003 and 2004 races on VHS, because I don't want to wake up in the morning to watch it. I'm a big F1 fan, but not THAT big.

I am an absolutely huge F1 fan. But being only 17 I really don't have the money to buy loadz of merchandise and books and magazines etc. But I do draw up my own designs for F1 cars, some of which I subsequently saw racing on real F1 cars...but they must have been testing the same thing for months before I thought of it. Still nice to know though ain't it?

I think what got me hooked the most was the technology, especially the aerodynamic side of it.
