1 demerit for Richard and two demerits for Ted, (an extra for letting him put the top up).

I think a demerit for taking this photo, but only if texting while taking it.

Keep up the good work Ted. I know it is tough but someone has to do it.

I would tell you to be careful on 25, but it is actually one of the smaller side roads off 25 where I lost my exhaust last year..lol

We need more pictures!

Phew! Ted was in the neighborhood and didn't eat me out of my house. However, Richard and Erica missed out having Victoria make them a home cooked meal.

Ted and the gang are true Roadster people! Enjoy the Ride!

does it matter that SOLVANG is representative of a ???? DANISH town as its somewhat distant relative - HOLLAND
