Crap....

Well my hard drive in my laptop became all emo and decided that life wasn't worth living anymore. So I have been using this crappy tablet I traded my 50mm 1.4 lens for.  I was planning on flipping this tablet for a profit but seems that I need to keep this damn thing. I honestly can't for the life of me figure out what the appeal of tablets are. They aren't that light weight they are harder to use, you have to buy accessories to make them easier to use (keyboard, mouse, etc) and those pretty much turn them into a crappy laptop. Having used this one for going on a month now I still can't figure out why anyone would buy one over a cheap laptop.

Well guess I'll have to tear into my laptop and see what model number the hard drive is and get a new one. Lost a bunch of media that was going to be posted on the blog but oh well my fault for not backing it up.

Well I am back in Germany

Yeah so I never made a post about leaving Germany but just FYI I have been in Texas for the last 3 weeks or so. I am very happy to be back in the Germany though.  The weather there was nicer but at the same time I don't think I'll be missing it.

(Old) NEW video! Well not really but still cool.

So in keeping with my recent updates of things that should have been updates 6 months ago here is a video of me lapping the North Loop of the Nurburgring.  This is one of 4 laps I had that day but this one was the cleanest with the least amount of traffic. So this brings my lap tally up to 12 laps, I am eager for the ring to open back up so I can go back for more.


On this lap I managed a 9:49 bridge to gantry time with blown out tein coilovers and no name tires

Speedbuggy steel frame shiftergasms Pt. 2

So I was able to set a time fast enough to convince the people at Dallas Karting Complex (DKC) to let me Take their Rotax DD2 shifter kart out for 10 mins. Soooo much FUN! The kart weighs 179lbs and has 34hp. 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds. Well anyways here is video taken by Chris on his Iphone (Left my camera at home sadly)



I want one even more now!

Speedbuggy steel frame shiftergasms

Well I have had some spare time on my hands the last few days.  I am currently in Texas taking a class (Not one I wanted to take mind you) and am about 2 hours away from Dallas.  Well as it turns out there is a pretty badass kart track north eat of Dallas called... Dallas Karting Complex, catchy name.

YAY DRIFTING!

 

So the first drift event in the chaser was a bit odd. German drift events are a bit different not only in cost but how they operate. more after the jump

Nurburgring GP video


This is a bit old (Last veterans day)  but I never posted it. It is the first time I went up and drove on the Nurburg Grand Prix track and please excuse my cackling as I tend to do that when I get really excited. Best part about all of this is it only cost 34 euro. *Stay tuned till near the end as I start doing some skids*



As you can plainly see I had a blast.
