  1. Happy Birthday!!
  2. Another vote for the Extreme. Refurb is good. We have one Extreme and two Express and once set up they are rock solid stable.
  3. Happy Birthday Gene!!!
  4. Happy Birthday!!!!
  5. Happy Birthday Lil Bro. Enjoy it! See you Sunday to say it in person.
  6. Definitely this.
  7. I still think Alonso was the star of the season. Vettel always had the superior car, except for reliability issues mid season. So I was not surprised he came from last to almost win in Abu Dhabi. He's a good driver, but put him in Alonso's Ferrari this year and I don't think he would have finished 3 points behind Fernando. And let's not forget, this would have been a different championship if Alonso's lead had not been erased thanks to ham fisted drivers like Grosjean at Spa. This was a tremendous season and I'm already waiting for 2013 to begin.
  8. At that price I could not refuse. Thanks for the tip guys.
  9. Happy Birthday to the Lord of the Beers! Cheers!!!
  10. Spending Thanksgiving with Debbie's family. There will be much food and much beer. Cheers to everyone, hoping you have an excellent holiday!!
  11. Got a Black Friday email from them today but all it really does is point to their Closeout sales: http://www.needledoctor.com/Closeouts
  12. Happy B'day JP!
  13. Been traipsing up and down hills at the Austin Grand Prix. Sunburned but happily enjoying fast cars and good food and drink, mostly back in the Temple area where we are staying. And apologies to Fitz as I have not been able to connect with him due to the fact that we have both been basically wiped out after track activities so far.
  14. Happy Birthday!!
  15. Historic Grand Prix cars. I think I have the Tyrrel 6 wheeler in there... And finally, F1 Practice 1.
  16. Couldn't do Hi-Def as the hotel wi-fi sucks donkey balls, but here's some regular def badly hand-held iPhone video. Excuse shaky hands and thumbs. COTA Turn 1: Ferrari Challenge qualifying
  17. So far the time at the circuit has been positive. The track itself and the on-track action has been great. Off-track human handling started out rough but has gotten better. The track is very hilly and for fat old people like myself a bitch to walk. But the track had advertised trams to take you around the track, so no problem. Except the trams were your basic Disneyland type and kept breaking and couldn't climb hills. A lot of people complained after Friday on the COTA Facebook page. So, on Saturday, COTA stepped up and scrapped the trams and brought in full-fledged buses. I was impressed. Staff at the circuit have been amazingly polite and helpful, and though initial amenities are a bit rudimentary, this track has a ton of potential. Turn one is a monster - an amazingly steep climb up to a blind apex that will be very interesting on Sunday. Expect some carbon fiber shards in that one. We have seats in turn 11, the hairpin. We may not see passing here but can see all the way down the following DRS zone to turn 12. I have posted some iPhone video to Facebook. I will try and get some linked up here when time permits.
  18. Sitting in the stands at the USGP. So far, Ferrari is not fast enough. We'll see how practice 2 goes this afternoon.
  19. Bangers and Mash at Banger's.
  20. Happy Birthday Dinny!!
  21. Sending good Karma Vicki so you can ride next weekend. Congrat Mike on the marriage milestone.
  22. A little late to the game, but I'm in. Good job training Vicki. Have a great ride next weekend!
  23. Happy Birthday Gents!
  24. Saw this on Reddit. $3.65 for 5L. Calling Mikey - I think we need a review:
