#115 - C8 Spyder

[Spyker 007]

This may sound weird, but do any of you drive in bare feet? I do, often, and it's amazing how much tactile feedback you get.

And i thought I was weird.

Last drives with #007 were in bare feet.
As well as most of the driving in the Ferrari is in bare feet as well.

Heel-toe downshifts while barefoot would present a problem for me!

These amateur videographers seem quite intent on drawing attention to my bald spot with their camera angles

The car draws the eye away from any possible defect in the view of the driver. . .

Nice lic. plate!

Autocross this weekend. Planning to upload video.

[Basokolow]

Here's a link to the autocross today. It was wet, but fun. The video is of the whole event, but features #115 prominently, including my impromptu raising of the roof as the skies opened suddenly and unexpectedly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcVuvmVIagQ

.. I love your second run through all those puddles! Looks great, sounds great! Were you skidding?

[Basokolow]

Yes, there is nothing like the sound. My 6th run, that last one at the end of the video, was a 64 sec. run. The earlier run on the video was the 5th (67sec.). The fourth was also a 64. My fastest of three runs in the morning was a 58 (about 8/10ths), in the dry. So, I backed off a good bit in the rain. I was shocked how well the C8 tracked in the wet, at about 6/10ths. There was a bit of plowing in the deepest puddles, but no skidding. Any hydroplaning was very mild and instantly corrected. I was out of runs by the time I realized I could have and should have pushed it harder. Of course, I was distracted by bailing out the interior.

Couldn't they give you startnumber 115 instead of 116
