GPS Data: Day 1 of driving in China - Shanghai to Xuzhou

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

Anyone know how to get Google Earth (or any other program) to tell me the speed data?  This came off our dashboard GPS receiver.  I converted the raw data to KML format for Google Earth using the tool that came with the device.  I’d obviously love to see the speed data, though!

You can see some of our wrong turns on the highlighted route ;)  Click to enlarge.

Delivering the R8 to the Port

Monday, August 18, 2008

The port that the cars will leave China from is about 90 miles from Beijing. The cars were dirty and tired after 3,000 miles on 2 continents. They tell us we won’t see the car back in California for a month. We miss it already.

Olympics in Beijing

Monday, August 18, 2008

After a major exercise in time wasting at the port where we dropped off the cars for shipment back to the US, we finally made it to Olympic Park in Beijing.  We weren’t there long but the time we did spend was amazing.  Perfect weather, no pollution, and friendly people — just no supercars.

Ryan had been asking Amro for the robes for the last 3 gumballs.  This was his lucky year.
