Lost huge points for being stupid in my mad attempt to shed pounds & cutting the metal near the cap. I have realized for months what a DUMMY move this was. One of the biggest errors to date on this car, probably THE biggest.
But, at least I have a solution. Albeit unconventional.
This will keep the water & exhaust out & it's light weight.
Bright but sun's high so not blinding. Wilson is "sans visors" so a ball cap is needed sometime. That's okay. The hat is a Martini Racing ball cap from the Porsche dealer... very comfy.
The wind is turbulent. At almost any speed you can feel the force acting against the car... Mother nature awakens from her slumber. Wilson respects her and balances his will against hers.
An hour's drive away there was no call for rain, but in the mountains the weather is unpredictable. It lightly rains for an hour. Put on the headlights so any traffic can see me.
Look at this view. Breath taking. The gravel road you see is the logging road I went up about a month ago. It was muddier then. Fun, but I'm cheap & don't like spending a lot of money washing Wilson.
But, today I'm feeling adventurous & am toying with the idea of doing rally driving. So I go up this road.
Conditions were very dry. The road felt very soft also. Spent almost all the driving in 3rd gear. Average speed maybe 75-80 kph. Which felt fast. Funny because that's the posted speed limit. I think in a AWD I'd be more comfortable pushing it, but not with Wilson & his open diff & these tires. Not until I gain more skill. What can I say? I'm a bit of a wuss & I don't want to slip off the ledge and the narrow gravel road with bad visibility isn't the best place to lose control or smash on coming traffic head on.
