Wise decision. I've been skiing for only 2 years longer than you but it took my son starting to ski at age 4 to get me in a helmet. Knew I wouldn't have an anwer for "why do I have to wear one if you don't". Now I can't imagine skiing without it. Hope you get lots of ski mileage this year.

Yes he is! Kind of late into the game, but he is a blessing that we are very thankful and thrilled for his arrival... Now if we can get some sleep as well it would be great

Nice picture. There will be a Meet and Drive this Spring that will be announced here so maybe you can come out for it. We meet for 80 minutes or so, usually at the Starbucks parking lot in Rockville, then take a spirited drive for about an hour and then eat at a moderately priced restaurant. Great way to meet like minded folk. Cheers,

Steve

Default Here it is!

Here is my x-mas present as pictured at the dealer. 1995 C4 with 91K miles. I decided that daily drivers should be fun since it's an hour of my life each day. Besides, it's much safer than an MGB and handles better too! It was a very well-kept car that looked brand new inside. The shift linkage is smooth and crisp and the clutch has only a couple thousand miles on it.

Cheers,

Wise decision. Skywachr
It was Natasha Richardson's death last year that prompted the move.

My wife gave me a copy of Top Gear Season 10. Great show, I am really enjoying it.

That was really tragic. What a talented, beautiful woman and apparently a fairly competent skier too.

Here is what my wife got me this year. She redefines both "keeper" and "awesome".

Awesome upgrade. I think it "made" my car.

Unfortunately with our weather lately, it's going to be awhile before I get to check it out.

I also snagged the aluminum shift **** a few weeks ago and have not had the opportunity to really check it out either.

Now all I need is the Al. e-brake.

Spring will be here before we know it.
