1450-some miles? Done.
Triple-digit speeds? Approached.
Tires? Pretty much shot now.
Broken stuff? None, though I lost two aluminum billet caps that were not supposed to come off.
Friends? Old ones gretted and hugged, new ones made.
Dragon? Slayed.
Demons? Confronted.
Me? Spent.

It was a good trip. And it was more than just a chance to wear out some tires and chit-chat with friends this time, though I did quite a bit of that. Among the .9G+ turns, the smell of brakes and rubber, the surprisingly good food found at ramshackle roadside eateries, the mob scene of MINIs and the gathering of friends, I found a lot of myself around every turn. It's a healing process. It's what I like to do, it's what Mom would urge me into, it's a chance to be myself. Yeah, it appears strange to some, but it's so, well, me.

I'm exhausted. I'm home, and I'm happy.

I'll write more soon.

Off to sleep for me.

I'm envious. I can hear that supercharger whining now! Damn, I miss my Mini!

Glad you are now happy and satiated for the moment, that's all we can really ask for, right?

Take care my friend

Howdy, i'm new to your lj posts:
I'd love to have been a passenger on those curves! (if i wasnt allowed to drive it myself!) The feeling of being one with the car and the curves, its cathartic in so many ways

Welcome to the mayhem (and sometimes boredom)!

Judging by your journal entries, I'd have no problem letting you take the wheel. You'd be in the same heaven as I am.

I just wish it was not a 9-10 hour drive to get to Nirvana!

Nothing like the smell of exhaust fumes, brake pads and rubber to make my day. :)
