Most of the time in Aug and Sep, I was busy on a project for Hermès Men Upside Down post fashion show party in Hong Kong. We made racing cars as big boys toys to show off Hermès new shoes.

As usual, clients in Asia being spoiled to giving short deadlines and made many last minute change decisions.
We only have around 50 days for design, R&D and built/ testing. Most complexity part is an Autonomous Car can run 360° twisted circles like the rollercoaster, match “Upside Down” theme.
The toughest time comes with some bad luck, around 10 days before the deadline, I got a foot injury with twisted crack bones and dislocated bone joints. Bear the pain ask the doctor in AE to pulling back the dislocated bone, then fix with a plaster cast, buy 2 crutches and rushing back to the factory, can’t be admitted to hospital as the doctor wants to observations need operations or not.
I need to go back to fix the 3D printer to keep it running, as it takes 28 hours to print one car body. Take some rest sleeping and start working next morning on 8 am.
Walking with crutches really slow me down, still working 2 overnight ( with just 2~ 3 hours sleep ) in the factory to make it finish on deadline to ship it out, but not enough time for fully test the Autonomous running loop Car.
That making the on-site installation another tough job. Need more testing and fine-tuning after installation within the tightened on-site deadline. As the transportation not arranged by me, the other side careless call a truck that 100mm shortened on top, ignore I have told them it needs an open-top truck for 2.8M hight production products , to arranged another open top truck with more customs clearances paperwork to cosseted China border, take away another 2 days of already tension scheduled. That made me need going through another 48 hours overnight working on site to do the testing and fine-tuning after installation, finally made it running before the show opening.
Toughest time is the need to doing all this with pain on a twisted crack feet bones, and crawling in and out many time with crutches from the runways ( as it is a loop without any door need to crawling under it to get in ).
Here is some finish video and BHS on the project :

After the show, I back to home got a long sleep, then go to the hospital, waiting for small operations now, to put some “screw “ in the bones to help it grow back properly.
