1917 Golden Submarine
“Mercilessly mocked…until it started winning. The 1917 Golden Submarine was Harry Miller's first enclosed race car and was made with a "safety" cage after the death of driver Bob Burman. It won 17 of the 35 races it ran and set every international dirt-track speed record.”

Mais um dia escrevendo sobre você...
Me desculpa por escrever sobre você novamente sem seu consentimento, mas é a única forma de me conectar com meus sentimentos sem me machucar.
Hoje eu acordei pensando em você e isso é muito complexo.
É difícil entender como alguém em tão pouco tempo, me desconcertou dessa forma. É como se eu estivesse fragmentada e tentando recuperar uma pessoa que um dia eu já fui.
Por muito tempo, eu pensei que sentimentos como este não eram para mim. E eu estava bem mantendo relações superficiais, era minha zona de conforto.
Você chegou de forma tão repentina, e com esse seu jeito me acessou sem esforços e fiquei rendida.
Você me encantou com pequenos detalhes. Com seu jeito único de levar a vida, de ser leviano e sério ao mesmo tempo. Com sua forma de me fazer acreditar em mim mesma e nos meus dias mais tristes me fazia rir das coisas mais bobas possíveis.
É complexo pensar que podíamos ser tudo e ao mesmo tempo não sermos nada!
Eu queria muito me reconstruir de novo, mas depois que te conheci não sou mais mesma. Estou completamente vulnerável!
Olhos castanhos, você realmente sabe como me fazer chorar!

In the '20s, everyone was enamoured with airplanes and flying. So, it made sense that an aircraft engine manufacturer, Hispano-Suiza, would put one of its powerful engines in a racecar. Built to compete in one race only, this unique car is something to behold. Most of the body is made of tulipwood, to keep weight down. Pontoon fenders for road use, also in tulipwood, were fabricated later by a boat builder..

Ayrton Senna died 30 years ago, on 1st May 1994. He was not only probably the best Formula One driver ever, but also an icon, and a charismatic, very good person. He will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
'I had a privileged life. But everything I have was obtained through dedication, perseverance, and a tremendous desire to achieve my goals, and a strong desire for victory, meaning victory in life, not just as a driver.
To all of you that are watching me right now, let me say that whoever you may be in life, whatever your position is, no matter if you are very rich or very poor, you must show great strength and determination, and always do everything with love and a deep faith in God. One day, you will achieve your dream. Somehow you will achieve your dream.'
[Ayrton Senna - Inspiring message about life]
