Hey guys,
i know you havent heard from me in a while, but i have been lookin at the boards every once in a while. so i finaly went to something car related here in germany. i had tickets to the german grand prix at hockenheim, and made use of them. if you watch formula 1 on tv, you realy cant have any idea how it is in real life. they sound so quiet on tv...i was suprised. so these cars have 3 liter v10s making around 900hp at about 19,000rpm....they weigh around 1000pounds so as you can imagine there pretty fast. where i was sitting i could see them come down a sorta long curve(closest thing this track has to a straight), then go right into a sharp corner, and accelerate down a short straight before another corner. so they go about 325kph on the straight/curve, slow down to about 30kph(basicly stopping) then they hit 300kph before the next corner. i dont know the translation of kph to mph...look it up. i know there going fucking fast though. i took about 2 hours of video, so maybe i´f anybody wants to when i get back we can watch it at my house. and i also took lots of pictures. out of about 40 pics, i got about 7 good ones(its realy hard to take pics of cars flying by you). i saw a realy good pass made by shumacher, but i didnt see the big crash at the start of the race, i didnt have the expensive seats. all in all it was realy cool. these things turn and stop like the hand of god, and they accelerate pretty quickly too. and the sound they make is just fucking crazy. i think it would be worth it to go see a race back in the states, at least once, in indianapolis. yeah i think i spelled that wrong. and sorry about writing such a long post, it just feels good to communicate in english :) . so heres some pics of some red car;) and montoya

dude,
theres one on every street corner. i went to the plant in wolfsburg....very cool place. they have stuff from each of the car companys that vw owns. so that means, seat, skoda, lamborghini, bently, audi, and stuff like that. saw lots of cool cars. ill try to post some pics....i have a realy good one of a lamborghini diablo racecar and a bently concept with a v16 in it.

later

Thats awesome. Those seats look expensive. Where were the "expensive" seats? We miss you sean!

yeah back in mexico is packed with them seats most of them are turbocharged they are nice...

id like to go to the one at indy one year. i watched that trading paint thing that montoya and gordon did at indy and during the broadcast they said the cars idle at around 7000rpms and i cant remember how many pounds of downforce they said the cars had but its fuckin crazy. the whole car is a mechanic's nightmare.

yeah, those things are crazy. to see them stop, accelerate, and corner is just insane. i heard that pound for pound the ferrari f1 car is the most expensive machine ever built by man. i got to get some pics up for you guys, i saw a sweet ferrari 360 modena spider in berlin....got 2 pics of it. you see allot of nice cars in the big citys...i dont even bother taking pics of porsches anymore...i only break out the camera if its a lamborghini or something.
