    Any that has a port for connecting a microphone and ear bud. It makes life a little bit easier.

    I have been reading everything I can about the Dragon. On some page somewhere, I saw a little blurb that said TireRack is donating 6% of the purchase price to the event/charity. I tried finding it again as I am buying a set of tires, but it evades me. Anyone else know about this? Is there some code you have to put in your order?

    Yep, if the Welsh Mini makes it down there! I'm hoping that Jan will tune it so it can get up and down the Dragon ok.

    Do you still want those mint cigars this year?
