Default Post Season Brain Flatulence

The C4S is resting quietly. The car was greatly improved this season, with an upgraded suspension and Cup tires. I had a final glorious ride through Morin Heights, Weir and Lachute, on an epic, sunny Tuesday.

Now, I feel oncoming symptoms of the Rennsport malaise! I feel a low vibration in my bank account, a sense that a new quest is about to commence, and a feeling of unrest. Will my contentment and gratitude be supplanted by greed and wanton entitlement? Will I fall victim to 'speed consumerism'?

I awaited the F1 final with great anticipation, though I maintained a high level of cynicism. The spectre of the evil Sith master, Ecclestone, always suggested a conspiracy theory. The double points on offer were a ridiculous manipulation, though it certainly did stimulate spectator interest! With all the telemetry on board the cars, sabotage seems far too easy to discount. We will never truly know if Rosberg's ERS was really 'off'.
I was happy that 'right won out', and Hamilton is the champion.

Looking forward to a reunion at the Xmas gathering.

Geez, those 944 guys are even competitive in their garages
No hibernation here, Santa was nice to our new track toy... Da sleigh backed up with a big bag of new parts and the Cayman is in the hands of the crew at WeTune for the major work and I get to keep the garage warm by doing the smaller stuff. Keep turning those wrenches, it's the only way to deal with DE withdrawl.
See you all at the Christmas ball.

I'm preparing myself a cheater exhaust pipe, with venturi like steel cones and megaphone stuff to extract more HP out of my engine.

Fireproof.
