Still More Difficult Choices

You have been given a free day to drive the Virginia International Raceway (long track).  For those unfamiliar, here it is (click to embiggen):

You have been given a whole Fall day to drive a half-dozen cars of your choice, from the list below, from dawn till dusk (about 7.30pm) around this 3.5-mile track, and you’ll have the place all to yourself.  The weather forecast is for clear and sunny skies, with perhaps a brief shower at midday, clearing after about an hour.  Temperatures will be in the mid-50s (11C to15C, for those of the Celsius persuasion).

You will be limited to up to twenty (20) laps for each car;  three warm-up laps (no faster than 50mph) to get the oil temperatures up and for familiarization, and the rest at whatever speed you wish.  Individual lap times can be kept for comparative purposes.

Mechanical service will be available at any time (so assume no breakdowns), and fresh tires will be provided as needed.

The cars from which you must make your choices are from the following list, and *note well* you may pick only one car from each group:

Group A (“Roaring 20s”)

Car #1:  2009 Wiesmann GT MF5 Roadster (go here if you’re unfamiliar)

Car #2:  2015 Maserati GT:

Car #3:  2015 Corvette Z06

Car #4:  2015 Ferrari California T

Everyone made their (one) choice?  then on to

Group B (“Naughty Nineties”)

Car #1:  1995 BMW 840i

Car #2:  1995 Honda/Acura NSX

Car #3:  1995 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R

Car #4:  1995 Aston Martin DB7

Now for the next choice, from

 Group C (“Aching Eighties”)

Car #1:  1985 Lotus Esprit Turbo

Car #2:  1985 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S

Car #3:  1987 Buick Grand National GNX

Car #4:  1985 Lancia Delta S4 Group B

Next, it’s time for

Group D (“Savage Seventies”)

Car #1:  1975 Jensen Interceptor III

Car #2:  1975 Ferrari 365 Berlinetta Boxer

Car #3:  1975 BMW 3.0 CSL (E9)

Car #4:  1978 Ford Mustang Cobra

All done?  Move on to

Group E (“Sexy Sixties”)

Car #1:  1965 Alfa Romeo TZ2 Zagato

Car #2:  1967 Bizzarrini P538

Car #3:  1961 Ferrari 250 GTI Lusso

Car #4:  1967 Iso Grifo 350 GL

And your final choice comes from

Group F (“Fabulous Fifties”)

Car #1: 1955 Ford T-bird

Car #2:  1955 Maserati 450 S

Car #3:  1956 Porsche 356 A

Car #4:  1955 Fiat 8V Zagato

There you have it:  six cars from six different decades.

Enjoy the drive.

Bypassing The Left

As GoFuckYourself (typo?) has suspended the Freedom Convoy’s fundraiser , I thought I’d point you all to a different funding source:  GiveSendGo, who have raised over a million in the past day or so for this most excellent cause.

If you can spare a few $$, head over there and donate.

Of course, the added site traffic is massive, and to add to the problems, Lefty bots have been active with DDOS attacks (the fuckers), but just persevere and you’ll get through, as I did.

Favorite Meals

What would you choose to eat if you had only one choice of meal, every day for the rest of your life?

This was the thought created by David Beckham revealing that ever since he’s known her, his pointy wife Posh (Victoria) has only ever eaten grilled fish and steamed vegetables.  (Which in turn prompted some other people to share their choices.)

Now for me, this would be something from the seven circles of Hell, because I have so many dishes that I love — having to pick only one would be torture.

I do know that I generally eat only one thing for breakfast every day — grilled boerewors, a boiled egg and a small handful of cheese curds or a bowl of yogurt — and so far, I’ve yet to get sick of it.  But as the only thing?  No.

So let’s stipulate that whatever you choose as your lifetime meal option, it’s only ONE meal of the day:  breakfast, lunch, dinner whatever.

My list of favorite dinner choices are as follows, in no specific order:

Lamb Vindaloo curry with rice and peas

Spaghetti “Bolognese” (meat sauce, to Murkins)

Steak & Mushroom Pie (as made by New Wife) and thick-cut chips

Hungarian Goulash (as made in Vienna/Budapest) on rice

Fish & Chips (cod only, as made in Britishland)

Texas OR Memphis BBQ Brisket and my version of coleslaw*

Chicken Toastie (grilled chicken chunks + only mayo toasted sandwich)
(Okay, I know it looks kinda bland, but it tastes great)

If someone said I had to eat only these seven meals (i.e. one per day) for the rest of my life, I’d probably survive…

And what would your seven daily meals be?


* Kim’s Coleslaw:  angel-hair shredded cabbage, chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped Peppadew, all mixed in with Marzetti’s Cole Slaw Dressing.

 

 

No need to thank me;  it’s all part of the service.
