Test :p

Not realy a winter sleep jet! :D

Yea...
Haven't done what I have planned to do last week, 'cus the car is still moving and it's repaired, well... almoust - this morning I found out that I have flat tire and as I didn't have any spare time I haven't checked and repaired the tire, but this is not why I'm writting.
Last friday was my first real experience with 250HP, iced road and RWD - it was a bit slippery! :D
For the first time I was glad, that there are plenty people who are driving realy realy slowly - not faster than 50 kmph, because every time I tried to accelerate rear wheels just went crazy and I was standing in one place although spedometer showed about 30-45 kmph... :D burnout without tire nor soul burning.
Few pictures from first snowy days! :)

Winter sleep = upgrades?!

It looks like the winter is coming very fast, so it's time to start thinking about putting my Firebird to winter sleep 'cus this is only summer time car and no driving in winter in salty snow!!! I think I will wash it, wax it several times, clean everything I can so that in spring when I'm "waking" her up she'll be ready to go with no problems!
I'll add some pictures later. :)
Have a nice day!

Crocodile race!!!






The summer season for American cars have been closed this year! :)
The event was quite interesting - small races, some burnouts and speeding in cart track. My car was tested very much. The weather was perfect for this event - sunny, without clouds, warm and very good people. Estonians where were you? Lithuanians were in full cavalry, Finnish people also were there, Belorussians and Russians were also here.
We are waiting more and more people for next season! :)
The morning was very interesting also - I came out from house and I can see only about 20m further - fog :D I thought - is it worth it to drive to the meeting so early or maybe I should drive later. Nooo IT IS worth it. And then, 1.2.3... and I'm ready to go, slowly carefuly and when I got out of my town, the fog was gone! and nice sun showed up in the sky.
Road from Riga through Berģi to racing track "333" near Ropaži.
All the 3 Firebird from our family together for the first time in such a meeting. Hopefully not for the last time, although I have plans to sell my Birdy and buy a new one - fully project car, this or previous generation, but that's only idea.
Despite the biggest problem - my camera was low on battery and when I copied pictures to PC I suddenly erased some 20 pictures, for a shame, those were pictures with my car, my driving, all the cars together and some videos... :(
But still there're some left so here you go.

More pictures coming soon! :)
