Breakdown #3

On my first attempt to lap St-Eustache under 1:02, I had a GPS malfunction and my external GPS was not communicating with my phone. I saw a lap of 1:01.9, but I can't rely on that data.

Civic at the track
I figured I had another chance last Monday, September 24th. My first session was cut short after a best lap at 1:02.6, when a fellow instructor lost a wheel on his BMW. In the next session, my distributor died yet again... I coasted back to the pits. It was again either the igniter or the coil. The car started after 30 minutes and I tried to drive home, but the engine died again after about 3 km. I had to call CAA for the third time in a few weeks.

I changed the coil and the car starts, but I won't know if the problem is solved until I attempt to take it on track again, hopefully Monday, which may be the last Monday night lapping of the year.

Back on the flatbed
I went to check on the Saab winter car. It started right up with no battery boost. The windshield cracked and will need to be changed. The car will need new winter tires, and I will likely install them on the OEM 17-inch wheels, which look cool in my opinion.

997 Turbo still looks cool
Rare 9-3 Turbo X
The Civic parked on the street, as usual
Tasteful WRX STi
A nice M3 on the way to J's school
Alfa Spider Graduate
Rare colour for an E46 M3
The 993 Targa looks better with age
