As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

In addition to my watch addiction, I absolutely love road racing. Watching it, talking about it, but mostly when I get the chance to do it. Great day today at VIR full. New personal best 2:04.

I don't know the first thing about racing but that looks incredibly fun. I also know that kind of driving can't be done without putting in some serious time practicing and getting to know your car. Very cool and congrats on the personal best. Great looking car too. 8-)

...and spending some serious cash. Even if tires, fluids, and brake pads are your only expense, it adds up quickly. On top of that, the time spent on maintenance, or the cost if you have others do it.

Ta. Solid choice (pun intended)! I have the white one but it's being regulated at the moment.

P.S. Love the model of your car. I wish they made something like that for Si...
