Week 12

Last Wednesday we went to the industrial center! It's quite far from the uni so we need to use the bus or a taxi to go there. It's a big upgrade from the workshop in Riamtec. But then again that was a garage workshop while this is a workshop where in-house parts can be made. There were a few experimental cars there including (I hope its ok to mention this) a Myvi free of any fuel consuming components. It was shoved with some kind of hydrogen power train or maybe it was fuel cell powered I don't know.

More importantly though, the reason we went there was for our Formula Student racecar. The only club/society I joined in UoS is Formula Student. Apparently, this season is really important because it is the last chance to save the team. I was impressed at the fact that the uni had a racing team but it seemed that their car didn't run quite well for the past seasons. Because of this fact, if we don't run the car successfully this season, the Formula Student team is highly likely to be disbanded. This all feels like a cliche drama situation lol. I'll help with what I can.

Adding the Formula Student project, I now have 3 projects technically. The final project, the automotive design project and this Formula Student project. Good news though, all of my projects are related because my final project is an electro-magnetic brake system, the automotive design project is about designing a handbrake, and I chose to be in the brake department for the Formula Student team. So everything should work out quite well.

Besides all that not much else to report this week. Ow yea I finally got a Paul Walker sticker. RIP.

As for car spotting this week, I finally saw a Ford Mustang! I heard a loud grumbling noise and turned see to a yellow Mustang with black stripes. I think it was a '05 - '09 model (based on wiki). Didn't get to snap a pic cos I was too busy being in awe. Apparently I missed a 1st gen Dodge Viper just minutes before the Mustang. Besides the Americans, I also saw a VW Corrado which I'm particularly interested in. It's another one of those infamous cars that I like. Oh I also saw this...

Lastly, daylight savings started. So our time is delayed by an hour. Idk how that works but anyway we're an hour later now. Next week is Halloween! Let's see what happens...
