after few months of writing posts here I've found I could forgot saying "hello" to the people I've joined.
I am formally a mechanical engineer specialized in bio-engineering... at least that's what my master and phd diplomas as saying, however I did not spent too much time working in this area. for the last 10+ years I've been working on:
- endo-prosthesis (artificial knee is a really bad idea guys so try to play football gently)
- cars (if you think about buying A8 from the beginning of the 21st century, please think again
)
- jet engines (do you believe today's are superior to the ones designed 30 years ago ? personally I prefer flying old B767 with CF6 under the wings... )
- industrial gas turbines (even in stone age one could find advanced technology... )
- planes (did I mentioned how much I value B767... ?)
- Oil&Gas machinery (people on the oil platforms are really brave. screaming sea is not as dangerous as the tools we are giving them)
- and few others things
for 20 seasons I was quite seriously competing in swimming, pentathlon and triathlon but I did not conquered the world. just few medals on national championships, far below what I wanted. that, to some extension, could explain my admiration for the people reaching the top
what I like in motorsports ? technology. people creating and developing it (standardizations and technology freezing s...cks!) and the ones riding the bull and pushing it to the limit.
what I like here ? people from so many different fields and with so different experiences united by one passion.
and, of course, "Tao of racing" (the latest has nothing in common with one of the moderators of this thread
)
ps. seriously, I think Ciro you are one of the most gifted writers I met. keep going, please.
