I agree, if I am one of the crew in the race, this race prolly be the most intense one, because lots of maths involved in the race, and yes, how did the drivers consume the tires thus extended the 15 laps lifespan to 30+ laps cost them lots of skills too.

I was getting exciting too when the team radio exchanging different weather prediction with the drivers every single lap.

However, as a point of view of spectators, I see the drivers were driving cautiously, without knowing is the rain coming in the next lap or not, the strategy was rather on the conservative side.

Vettel was having a 16 secs lead at one point and everyone was amazed by how he maxed out the tires' lifespan with that kind of pace, he showed skills and guts, but it was all ruined by pit stop and the nature of the circuit layout (impossible to pass).

The most exciting moment of the whole 78 laps, I think it's the start, and the moment that Schumacher attempted to pass Raikkonen when the pair came out of the tunnel...

Look forward to Canadian!!

It's been a great F1 season so far. Very unpredictable races. We'll see if we can have a 7th different winner at the next race.

Nah, that's my sisters pool over in Tampa and those are screens.

Thanks, mr.alcheng!

yah, Im liking this setup.

I tried the strap to see if I could remove the slight vibration, but it made no difference so I took it off. Now importing file into 960x540 or whatever on iMovie.

going to chop it down considerably.

Nice! Now be sure to perform good wash techniques and you won't have to deal with them again.

Would it be better perhaps if it was mounted to the cross bar behind the seats? Care to share a bid, or are you keeping them to yourself (which is perfectly fine too)?

Hey Onzy, how are you doing today?

I'd pull my Z and give her a proper scrubbing, but it's tres poopy looking outside and would likely rain on nme during the deed.

We are doing a whole lot of nothing. Some quick detailing is in store after dinner tonight -- for the 370 and the Juke.

Nice! I suspect I'll be getting my spacers on next week(end).

I truly am on borrowed time.. That is why you see me doing things big and fast, with the house and my Z/28, ect... I have to..

So we are all pulling for you. Although I am the newbie and can be somewhat of a Pompous A$$ sometimes with certain posters, I am the total opposite with people with kind hearts.

You seem to be one of the kind hearts.. Remember stress can kill. That is what put me on my death bed over 2 years ago..

You have way more to live for...Mini Gale, ect... So stay calm and roll with it.

Nascar is next..But I worry that Jimmy Johnson will just make it boring again..

But Indy was an emotional ride.. R.I.P. Dan Wheldon..A classy guy gone too early.

Thanks again Bucket

Mr.GaleForce, true story disclosed!!!

Mr.kenchan...

Nice to hear the Hero2 works out good for you!!

Mr.Bucketlist2012, that's one of the reasons I am considering it... LOL

I am more bias to the exhaust, Meagan, Agency, TopSpeed and Invidia Gemini are within my budget.

Money wise, I can afford the Smart Tops right away, the only concern is the dealer might void the warranty....

That was a great edit Mr.alcheng

The smart tops is cool, but I would wait until the dealer properly fixes your top. Having said that, go for the exhaust.
