    Greece to spend almost €100m on building F1 track

    Greece to spend almost €100m on building F1 track - Telegraph

    The perfect metaphor for the euro crisis?

      Greek Government.

      Maybe they have the right idea - start spending to get their economy moving. At the end of the day the Germans will pay - or their creditors. Smart move.

          Have you seen the road surface in Athens? It is so worn out and shiny it is like driving in the wet. Money would be better spent on the infrastructure rather than prestige projects.

              Thats the Euro for you. Lots of money spent on vanity - the plebs can go fook themselves.
