Busy weekend at the TeamD garage. We still have a bit of work to get the Saab on the road. Center console and related accessory wiring, connect the shifter to the transmission, install that not-broken shock, and then it’s time to get the car smogged and registered.
During T-bird, we ran our own Timewise 798A rally computer for the first time. We noticed a few oddities. #1. Fortunately I had written the factor down. So I reentered it. Fixed the distance. I started checking the factor regularly. Marinus is going to look at the wiring changes since the firewall hole fix to see if that contributed to the problem. Each time the wackiness seemed to happen right after the car’s engine was started.
On the first regularity of Day 2, Thunderbird, a strange thing happened. Still can’t explain it. We waited our out time, 21 minutes after car 0. Take a look at this picture from Dennis; you can see us (the red car) just in front of the white car. 
At a stop in the transit, they complimented the way the iX performed in the snow.
Such a big word, ‘counterintuitive’. I know this theoretically, I have much empirical evidence, and I’ve had training in the practice. But when the moment arrives, when the car’s loose and the navigator notices it, when the space between us and a snowbank is shrinking, all from too much speed…
Winter approaches in Portland, and the chilly rains of Autumn call the Mustang to the garage. The hammer on the left was enough for the left side… but the right side almost wanted a bigger brother yet.
