    I took some picture, but they turned out fussy. One of this days I'll learn. I'll try for more today.

    I won't know until tonight at the dinner. Then they will give out the winners of all the awards for CAR SHOW, AUTOCROSS and RALLY. They also give prize's for longest drive , direst car and a few others. It was nice to see so many cars. A lot of classics of all years and models.

    Yesterday, my '03 R50 CVT just turned over 104 k. miles.

    Today, my '06 R53 automatic just turned over 174 k miles.

    On to more glorious miles!

    Lee you really should just pay the electric bill. ;)

    Did you guys lose power due to a storm or did a bunch of cooper thieves get in the substation?

    Went for my oil change and Boot to Bonnet inspection and luckily for me I did as the mechanic found my passenger side caliper trying to escape. It seems the bolt had gone awol and before everyone says doncha know how torque stuff down it was a job that had been done a year or so before I got the car. New bolt in and the most pressing thing found was the front struts are due to be replaced.

    Will it seems the fix must has been in at the car show. There were 2 cars in the new mini class that I would think have been a hard to beat, but I got 3 place and the other guy got nothing. It was fun anyway. Me and the wife enjoyed it.

    Due to the storm that rolled through Sunday night. We were having our anniversary dinner when it hit so we were not at home. 35 years even the storm ain’t stopping us!

    The yellow car got first and the blue car got second. Hard to believe.

    I’d have to say that from the photo they do not look anywhere near as nice as yours.
