BEAUTIFUL day in the PNW. Why we do not put away our roadsters for the Winter around here.
I drove the Green River/Enumclaw/Mud Mt loop. About 133 miles. 4 hrs.
Great views of Mt Rainier.

Very cool to see that car back on the track, and so quickly too. Tell us more about the ride!

Went a drove across the Dam road and thought I'd stop and take a picture. Beautiful day for a drive.
Enjoy

Keith: That is awesome! Let's catch-up at Nismo Fiesta!

Nice weather in Houston this weekend. Having some metal work done on my 67 2000 in the garage. Replacement lower inner fender boxes being installed.

Saturday, drove to the shop:

On Sunday we took the roadsters out for some exercise to Uvas Reservoir
Image
Sora looking great on the road!

Dogs love roadsters:

At Uvas we flagged down a local Z owner, David Carroll and his LS3-powered race car. It's a 500hp beast with 315/30/18 tires at all four corners:

Beautiful, sunny day!
