Hi everybody... been depressed and not visiting.... as
Mohisn put it a bit tired as well.
Fired the driver....BIG MISTAKE what with the kids exams and all that. The most highly qualified chauffer in Pakistan for the last two months... no exercise.... no time for cars...
The Mini is done mechanically and handed over to the painters but then the FOG hath arrived. The Datsun denting is nearly done as well.
The Alfa mechanicals start on Monday Tuesday....The Scirocco is being driven every other day... dirve it like nature intended.. braking late and going round corners without braking if I can.
Waleed was in from Chicago and took his Yellow Fiat out on the M'way and touched 145 .. I was in a Honda ( dont ask which one ) and wa scared ... ONE THING THOUGH IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAR ON THE MOTORWAY. The presence was extraordinary...
Took out teh RX7 today for some therapy as well... mine not the cars. The road approaching SKMH is one long straight ( Mulsanne) with a braking left right chicane and a right right hander to get onto the hospital approach.... That felt good... no traffic..form 5th ( 160km/hr) to third and hard on the brakes second and accelerate hard... the rear 265s biting and squirming... touch teh brakes and 120 degree right and accelerate in 2nd again. Nirvana for all of 15 seconds and then sick patients... reality....
Depressed because I have sold teh B16A civic and bought the Missus a Vitz.. At least its in red.
I think it is time for RETAIL THERAPY for my winter depression. I have spotted a two door MK2 escort..in a workshop.. I want a Rally Replica. FORD ESCORT RS1800 BDA lookalike... the Toyota 4AGE was a copy of the engine. IN ROTHMANS livery.
Wanted to do that to a Mirafiori 131 but the owner mechanic is stupid and wants too much for a rusted hulk.HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL
