Back from Germany / The wuff might be moving to California
15 years ago
General
Ok Back frmo Germany as of Monday, and what a trip it was.
Having driven through France, Belguim and into Germany, we got within 40 miles of Hockenhiem only for one of the calipers on the back to go pop... then again we'd been tanking it at over 120mph (legally!) at times XD
Topped up the fluid and made it to the circuit, managed to get a new caliper from a local garage.
Anycase, onto the Formula student competiion and up to saturday, we'd been doing really well with being in the top 15 and top of the UK teams once again. Unfortunately when we got to the manditory driver change in the endurance, the car didn't want to restart and we got knocked out D:
What was weird was that the car had never failed to restart, even on hotter days but this time it didn't want to... and even weirder was that all tests came back with no fault and the car fired up first crack 10 mins after we were forced to retire. Talk about rotton luck! but that's racing for you...
Also to all those in California... you might have a britwuff soon depending what happens as i got a phonecall whilst in Germany, from Tesla Motors in San Fransisco! o_O
Apparently my CV caught their interest after i sent it in on the off chance i'd get a job, and they called me back. I've still got a number of things to get through as yet, but if things work out, i'll be moving out to California in Novemeber.
Heres hoping,.

Trying to get temp work to cover but even that's slim cause i'm apparently overqualified c.c but still, i would get financial aid from Tesla to move anyway, they've already taken one guy on from our race team and he got $15k to help him move.
NO
NO
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE UNTIL I'VE MET YOU FACE TO FACE >:C
I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL GO TO FC JUST TO HUNT YOU DOWN.
On another note: congrats on jobs, wish I had 'work funding' to go to England instead of having to hoof it, so to speak.
