Something About Nothing ... #12

[pcstang]

Bed time here in the UK............a Game of Thrones and couple of glasses of wine evening........not too shabby.......although DH didn't have any as he's driving early am.

Off early for driving experience......not till the afternoon, so plenty of time to get there........bacon sandwiches for breakfast..........lush!

Enjoy rest of your Friday.........

What type of Mercedes are you driving? I'm a car guy and did the driving experience in Vegas this past January. Drove a Lamborghini and a Ferrari this time. I'm trying to find the pictures but I'm afraid they are forever locked away on my old iPhone.

Thanks for the birthday wishes for my daughter and me. 29 doesn't feel so bad
My daughter is enjoying her day as always. Everyday is like Christmas for my spoiled kids!

Spoil them while you can

There are only little for a season

Only one I know for sure will be there is the C63 AMG which is a whopper of a car.......6.2L V8 engine. That one in particular I am looking forward to. There's a couple of others too depending on time we'll see if we get to them. We are being "squeezed in". We adore cars too.........

We've driven most sports cars for fun at driving days.......that's also what DS always chooses as a gift.......loves a driving experience......we all do. Kyle loved the Aventador and the Ginetta funnily enough, but his favourite ever is the single seater.......that's the one he would,choose over all the fancy sports cars.

Would love to drive the Ferrari FXX.......only 30 ever made......doubt I ever will though. They made one specially in black for Michael Schumacher........that is a car!

Years ago and when I was a lot younger, and slimmer.......lol......we used to drive Raleigh cars for fun......purely for fun, was never good enough to take it to anything else.

That sounds fantastic! Very Jealous! My F150 has a 6.2L V8...it will haul the mail for sure if I need it to. The traction control is like *** if I hammer it! I'll google some of the cars you mentioned. Never heard of a Ferrari FXX. Sounds fun though!

 

[pcstang]

Holy ****! Just watched the the Stig run the FXX! Wow!

Amazing isn't it!!! That's a car and a half........hope you're having a fabulous birthday!


Day went well......drove a few cars and had a blast! Our own car is very powerful.......but wow.......need to look around for another track day soon.........need for speed!

Got back earlier than expected though........so BBQ it is tonight.........dull, but warm.

Hope your Saturday is a good one..........

That sounds awesome! I stayed up way too late watching the stig race exotics on YouTube. That FXX sounds like an F1 car!
Enjoy your BBQ.

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks! Missed lunch so I'm starving.......starting early.......

Yep, love watching The Stig......we applied to be in the audience of Top Gear several times over the years......but we were never successful......did see him drive at events a few times though........he was good!

I'm also kinda partial to the Bugatti Veyron.........don't think I'll be getting one of those for Christmas anytime soon........lol......

Happy Birthday to the @pcstang family!
Slept late as we were all up late yesterday. Not sure why we stayed up so late-and then I almost forgot to put the breakfast casserole in slow cooker. Love being able to get up and get my coffee and breakfast is already done.
Expect it will be a quiet day around here-finish laundry, maybe cook the recipes from our Try the World Brazil box.
We leave in ~28 hours to take my oldest baby to college and move her into her dorm.

May turn out to be a nicer day today-had a big storm blow through yesterday afternoon-blew some patio furniture around so it seems to be a bit cooler and bit less humid today. And by "cooler" I mean no heat index of 100+ LOL.

Happy Saturday!

That sounds great! I've never done an Exotic Experience like that, but we have done track days with our MINI Coopers. If you're doing it right, you can make a MINI get 10 MPG. One time it was just Molly and me on the track. I'd chase her then she would let me by and chase me. She is actually faster than me as she is braver and goes deeper into the turns before braking.

Out of curiosity........what would you have in a breakfast casserole? I have no idea........

Aww good luck with DD move.........it's tough.......

They are so much fun! We can both drive anything....including a forklift.......remnants of old career......My DH says I always took a few more risks on circuits than he does, not so much nowadays.

We drove the Nurburgring many years ago........that was so much fun! But when it's your own car it's a bit different.......we didn't have our Mercedes cars then, wouldn't do it with them ironically.........

A lady in our village has an older mini, much older 1972 I think, restored somewhat about 10 years ago........looks like you could fit in your pocket......lol......she's a tiny little thing too though.......

 

[Squirlz]

I am a brilliant forklift driver as well! Many many hours spent on them. Our MINIs are 2005 S models, the supercharged ones. I've driven the 'Ring in video games...does that count?

Of course it does!

Better weather for me today

Went to the store and locked up the car
Back in it 25 minutes later and out the ac in
Inside temp registered at 100
By the time I got home or was a sweet 95 degrees

Much better.

PC, how is your special day going?

Were you allowed to watch sports on rv and drink beer this afternoon?


Sounds like a swell way to celebrate
