Great photos, you have inspired many of us here to take the car off the bookshelf and DRIVE !!

Cheers,
Too bad I missed Rob, then. Great looking build!

Yes on 74. That is where the super-fog pics are above. Fab road!

Hehe, yes. They were there doing their thing.
Funny story -- the M3 in the West Hollywood pic... I was chatting with the owner at the coffee shop. He says you should meet my friend Paul. Paul pulls up, and we get introduced. Celebrity sighting indeed. Made my day.
Later, I stopped at Malibu Kitchen for lunch, and Paul again pulls up, this time with Spike.

I am working, also. Today was one of my favorite 'office' views.

One of my favorite climbs, Gibraltar Road over Santa Barbara. A virtual twin to Col De La Madone over Menton/Monaco. Beautiful, and challenging. No wonder it's been featured multiple times on the Tour of California. Super fun descent, too.

Now Santa Barbara, your GT3 Tour keeps getting better! Make sure to stop in at La Super-Rica for lunch

Cheers,

It's funny -- I could not wait to change my side markers to clear on my 997 and 991CS. For some reason, the ambers no longer bother me. Maybe I am getting more relaxed in my old age....

I am a little behind in posting -- Mooty wore me out on the bike...

Big Sur. Curves Curves Curves. I hit on a weekday at sunrise. Delightfully empty.
