Cada año, hay un rally o competencia de carros antiguos donde cualquiera puede participar, claro, cualquiera con carros antiguos.. Desde hace casi 6 o 7 años mis papas, participan en esta competencia, mi papá colecciona carros antiguos, actualmente está restaurando una combi VW y ya tiene 2 vehículos de la misma marca (su pasión han sido siempre los autos!).
Alguna vez les pedí que me llevaran a esta competencia, dejé de insistir porque me di cuenta que querían pasar el fin de semana solos, algo así como otra luna de miel, eso y porque sabía que lo pasarían bomba ellos dos..
Para sorpresa mía, este año fui con ellos y después de eso entendí muchas cosas!
Cada carro que participa, tiene que tener un conductor y un copiloto, tienen que seguir una libreta de indicaciones precisas de tiempo y velocidades, seguir un mapa e ir manejando contra el tráfico de una carretera y claro, contra otros conductores.
Así que el jueves muy temprano, empezaron a sonar los motores (qué cosa tan impresionante!) y arrancaron todos!! nuestro número era el 16 y hay toda una secuencia con respecto a ello y los tiempos...
La meta final fue en la playa de Manzanillo después de haber estado 1 día en la ciudad de Colima (tomé fotos del volcán mientras aventaba grandes cantidades de humo!)
La competencia fue bastante fuerte, hubo carros que tenían unos motores muy potentes, mustang, porsche, VW, deportivos y otros muy antiguos.
El viernes llegó mi hermana con su familia, quería saber todo acerca de la competencia y mi sobrina feliz de ver a sus abuelos y de jugar con la arena, fue un fin de semana familiar también
Al final, pues no ganaron ningún premio mis padres.. pero me reía bastante cuando ellos discutían por lo de los tiempos y las velocidades, mientras que sonaba Queen como música de fondo y el don't stop me now o bohemian rhapsody..
Algún amigo de mi papá me dijo: oh linda! no te preocupes, en todos los carros, siempre es lo mismo, todas las parejas van discutiendo siempre! (creí que sólo eran mis padres..)
Every year, there's like a rally or car race with old cars where everybody can get in, of course, anybody with an old car... Since almost 6 or 7 years ago, my parents get in to this rally, my dad is a car collector, he actually got 2 cars and now he is restoring a VW van and he already got another 2 from the same brand (his passion has always been old cars!).
I asked once to go with them to this competition, then i stop to insist because i realized that they want to spend the weekend by themselves, something like another honeymoon, that and because i knew that they will had a blast of fun..
I was so surprised when they invited me to go with them and after that i understand so many things!
Every car that participate, it must to have a driver and a co-pilot, they must to follow a notebook with precisely indications and directions according with time and speeds, follow a map and drive against busy traffic and of course, against another competitors
So at Thursday morning, engines start to march and sound (what impressive thing!) and they it goes everybody!! our number was the 16th and there's a sequence according to that number and with the time...
The finish goal was on Manzanillo port after spend 1 day in Colima city (i took photos of the volcano while it had a big fumarole!)
The competitions was pretty hard, because there was another cars with powerful engines, mustangs, porsche, VW, sport cars and another fine old cars.
The friday my sister catch us with her family, she want to know everything with the competition and my niece was so happy to see her grandparents and because she was enjoying playing at the beach and with the sand, so it was a weekend around with the family
At the end, well, they didn't won any prize.. but i laughed so hard every time when they were discussing because the times and the speeds, while we were listening Queen with "don't stop me now" or "bohemian rhapsody"...
One of my dad's friend told me: oh sweetie! do not worry about that, in every car there's a couple that is also discussing the same thing, every couple had always a discussions (and i thought that could be just my parents..)
I had an awesome weekend, i really do, now i understand why they don't invited me.. and yes! i drank a lot of beer and piñas coladas the whole weekend! and yes! the water on the beach was more chilly that other seasons... now my voice is a little bit more thick because of that (i guess i'm getting cold and sick..) now i've got fantasies to drive an old car and join for the next competition! hell yeah!
