Hi all. The weekend didn't start too well as I was once again, but this time it was final, confronted with my old Volvo. The guy who bought it from me came to pick it up with one of those car trailers pulled by a cool old V8 powered Range Rover. My dad and I figured the thing was so strong, it probably wouldn't even notice the Volvo hanging behind it. You've got to love that V8 rumble, it's great. When the Volvo was finally on the trailer and the guy was good to go my dad asked me if I didn't want to take a last picture, since I had been shooting the car from just about every possible angle before. I just didn't think it would be possible to make that a nice picture and told him that the pictures I already had would suffice for memories. Then they drove off. It wasn't a pretty sight, well apart from that rumble of course. Bottom line: my car is now gone. Then in the evening I had scheduled another race weekend with Bas as the second race of the Formula One season was due this weekend and we're going to be following this circus again all year. Because I had been a little late in the morning I didn't pack my PC yet so I had to go and get it but somewhere around six thirty I was at Bas' place, hooked up and ready to go. We didn't stay up took late as on the Sunday morning we were going to get up early, watch the videotaped second qualifying and directly after that the race itself. I liked the race, there were some good battles on the track which are always good to watch. The Renault team had their act together and they drove a very strong race with Alonso taking the highest step on the podium. Man they were busted, you could very well see the effect of the heat on them. Great race. So our Sunday started quite early and around half past nine we were ready to do some racing of our own and to my surprise I could just beat him every track we went to. Now I have to be honest and say we (read: I) we raced some of my favorite circuits which of course helped me a bit. I've never been to Barcelona in real life but I just love that track :-D Well so far so good, but all of a sudden Bas had the outrageous idea (*grin*) of rearranging his PC hard disk and partition wise and that eventually cost us most of the Sunday fixing the damage a resizing action left us when crashing out at about forty percent. Luckily I had Gran Turismo 4 with me so we could at least do some racing while the recovery was taking place. In the end we lost nothing at all but due to the amount of data that needed to be restored we could not save it all and went for a complete recovery of the most used games and restored save games of the rest of them. And how was your weekend? :-)
