Maldonado: Lotus "Best Decision ever"

It must feel like a great decision going to a team that only wanted you for your money, doesn't make the car on time, has issues during testing, while your old team stands out during testing and looks really promising for the year.

I like Lotus, but Maldonado is by far my least favourite driver on the grid.

In other lol worthy news Kobayashi says he is at Caterham TO WIN. P1 ya fkrs, P1.

my flight leaves 6:30am on thursday, staying about 500m from the track should hear every Amazing/vomit inducing sound of it depending on how it turns out

How much was accom? Or are you staying with someone?

Albert park hotel cost a fortune on grand prix weekend (for obvious reasons lol) as did most other places near the track. Ill just get a tram with all the commoners

Lol. I meant to do it ages ago but never got around to it. But since he is part of the commentary team for channel 10 for the gp it seemed appropriate

I reckon that I saw him today riding around the track, if it wasn't him, then it was someone who looked a hell of a lot like him.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
