Bah, I have a funny story for you.

 

So down in Melbourne it's been absolutely freezing today. I had set up a small but powerful heater, pointed at my feet to keep them warm while playing a game using a steering wheel/pedals. I couldn't pause the game. Here's a rough story of how that went for me:

 

Lap 1: "I may not have heated seats, but I do have heated feets!"\

 

Lap 10: "hey, uhh, this is getting kind of toasty"

 

lap 35: "HOT! TOO HOT!!"

 

lap 66: "OH MY F***ING GOD I'M ON FIRE!!!"

 

Lap 100: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

 

I kept going though, and when the race ended on lap 120 I found I'd lost about 50% of the hairs on my feet, and given myself a decent sun-burn. THAT, is dedication.

Yeah, a bit of burned hair stench never hurt anyone.

 

I remember welding the fridge compressor a few years back that was filled with butane prior to my stunt, scorched my eyebrows and I smelled like bacon for a few days. :laugh:
