At Formula Expo in Austin a few weeks ago

[kerc]

Pretty decent exhibit of F1 cars and related stuff...Had quite a few vintage F1 cars, plus last year's Red Bull, Lotus, and Williams. Struck a conversation with the owner of three (?!) F1 Ferraris. As I mentioned that my son is the resident Ferrari freak, he tells me "So you think he'd like to sit in this one?" This one being the 1980 Ferrari 312 T5 driven by Gilles Villeneuve! Of course he loved it...made my son's day!

That's what I can call being lucky

Great stuff, mate, thanks for sharing the pics!

Just a couple years ago, would anyone have imagined Austin hosting a formula expo?

Thanks!

Lemme tell you...Vintage F1 cars look DAMN scary. Aluminum and fiberglass...Your legs are the bumper struts. And ALL engine. I should post my pics. Maybe in the F1 history area?

Go for it! Just use this thread if you want, i guess - i'm gonna move this to F1 & Motorsport Media though, i think it is a more appropriate area.
