FrankenMini is ready for his first Autocross!

After 2 years of work the car is ready. I spent yesterday cleaning him from top to bottom making sure there were no metal filings, loose weld wire, or anything else loose in the car. You wouldn't believe what I found! I also installed the roll cage padding. The cleaning took the better part of 2 hours. I'm picking the car up Friday afternoon and brining him home. The body still isn't painted but I'm not going to worry about that until later, I've got the paint, just need to find the time to give him a good sand and then get the paint done. The passenger seat and harness' still aren't installed, I'll try and get those installed before Saturday, if not, no biggie.

The first autox (aka solo2) event is at Bronte Go Station in Oakville on May 5. This is the Push it to the Limit series put on by the MSOC (Mazda Sportscar Owners Club). Since I've only got around 5 minutes of seat time in the car thus far I've got some pretty simple goals, more seat time. I don't expect to be very fast at all. FrankenMini is considerably different to drive than my previous car, a slightly modified 2002 JCW Cooper S. My video camera mount is installed. After every run everything I can think about that run will be dictated to the camera from the driver's seat. This way I can review my thoughts on handling and overall car feel after the event.

FrankenMini's First Event
Push it to the Limit Autocross Series
When: Saturday May 5th, 2007
Time: ~9am (Registration is from 7:30am-8:00am)
Where: Bronte Go Station
Address: 104 Wyecroft Rd., Oakville, ON

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal. I think that treatments of some timberland shoe company sort had caused a lot of her hair to fall out. We shared things about our lives. I told her about my women timberland shoes schooling and growing up. She told me that she had worked for timberland 6 inch years for an insurance company. She never mentioned family, and I did not ask. I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply.

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid. He lovingly thinks about us all the time timberland boots and he even temporarily gave up His heavenly home and his timberland traditional handsewn hold on diety to die for the sins of timberland mens custom world nearly 2,000 years ago. His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us. When we do this, we will see people in a totally different timberland womens premium boots light — one that redefines what it means to be ugly or different or weird or strange. Instead, we see people with ugly timberland shoes store problems in whom God is working so they can bloom beautifully — just like I now see in my orchids whether they are “lumps” or blossoms! On a certain timberland work shoes day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our timberland wheat shoes lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, *ing the minutes for timberland for you loitering --waiting, waiting, waiting for the station.
