IRC Rally Principe de Asturias

A Saturday in september I went to the Rally Principe de Asturias with some friends. We went to the 12th and 15th Special Stage (the same, they drove it two times), which were the last stage of the rally. I wake up at 7 o’clock, I started my Ford Sierra, I pick up my cousin Jose and our friend Jorge, who came from Ribadeo to go to the rally, and we went to Pola, where Pikero, Omar and Sara were waiting for us in the Pikero’s Ford Capri to go.

We went to La Campa de San Juan, a famous crossroads on what some people sleep the night before the race. There are a couple of curves there that makes the zone spectacular. As we expected, the level was high and cars drove so fast, on the first pass the three first drivers were in fifteen seconds at the global chrono time (unfortunately on the last pass Alberto Hevia had lost many time because of a wheel flat, and the rally was decided). We ate our sandwitches between the first and the second special, and at middle evening we return home. My cousin and Jorge also went home when we arrived Oviedo, so they had to go for an hour and a half more than us to Ribadeo.

Bad luck for Berti Hevia, if that wheel had not puncture, he would made his best rally and he would win the race, or he almost be the second. In an international rally it is a very good position, and he deserved it. So that’s life.

A lot of time again

Time run away and I’m always doing more and more things. I’m always thinking that I have to update my english (and spanish) blog but I can’t find the time.

Six months ago I made a promise that I couldn’t keep. Now I change it to a less demanding effort, and I will try to write at least one post every month (and keep it).

In this time I had some things to tell. I bought a mare called Queen and it had a foal that we called Kina. It will be a good mare.

Recently I also bought a car, a sixteen-year-old Ford Sierra what was of my sister and my brother-in-law. It is a good car, and it’s good-kept, so I expect to drive it for a long time.

I’m slowly moving all my things to my girlfriend’s house, so I expect that in a little time I will change my official home. Actually, I’m living there since a couple of months, but I still have a lot of things in my parent’s home, so I’m still officially living with them.

Some time ago…

… I started a project to practise my English. Now, more than a year ago, there are only nine posts in this blog. It’s more than nothing, but less than wished.

There were hard times ending my engineering, and it provoked to leave other projects, almost all the projects I had, during the last 6 months. I reduced the time for other projects to the minimum and I spend all this time in the engineering project. So blogs, specially this, were the first thing I leave.

Now I restart it with the solid intention of writing at least a post every week. We’ll see if I achieve the goal.

English lessons

Finally, as I wrote last friday in my other blog, I asked for help with English to my friend Xilimbra. As soon as she read the email, she took a look at my first post and she sent me her correction. I though it was impossible to make all these mistakes in a little bunch of words, but it’s possible 🙂 And many of them are caused by the FromLostToTheRiverismo that always chase me when I start writing in English. Think in Spanish and write in English is not a good way.

With that post we start a test time writing (for me) and correcting (for her) posts. I will edit posts to put corrections in them because later that corrections may help me again to go through the good way writing. Thanks, Xilimbra, and comments are allowed to the rest of you.
