Lots of police out this weekend, be careful when you are having fun in your 928 this weekend.

I am folowing the long standing English tradition of celebrating the 4th July.
We got rid of the Americans

One of the reasons I became an American is because America is PROUD of being America.

I am very proud American and so honored to be so.
Happy 4th to all.

Why did you throw the tea in the harbour??????????

The tea got thrown into the harbor because our fore fathers were not afraid of a fight like we are today, the tax on the tea was 3% (or some other small amount) and it was deemed to much.
These people were willing to die for a cause.

Got to respect that.

To marinate the fish ahead of time.




4th is pretty happy. Great for passing on highway speeds.
3rd is awesome for the twisties.
And 5th is great for puttering on the highways.

Don't feed the bears. Them LEO bears.

Well I was hoping to have one as I got the house all cleaned up and had the steam cleaners do their stuff. So it looks like new in here and yard is all done. So its chill time at the pool, but I looked in the shop and see a nice size red liquid puddle under the S4....so now depression is setting in.

+1 to all celebrating the 4th.
Everyone be very careful out there with your respective festivities. I know for one, most DFW cities are enacting the 'no blow, mandatory blood test' rule. IE, don't even take a chance at having a single drink and driving.

BTW, I know for a fact that Roger is quite "Amercian-ized"..... he drinks my coffee :-)

He's been wondering why 'American Tea' tastes so damn funny.



Happy Independence Day.
