… to one of the most bizarre dashes ever. The Aston Martin Lagonda. So crazy. One of the most bizarre cars ever…. Simple is good!

Everything about the Aston Martin Lagonda was dog ugly. Hard to fathom from a company that makes some of the most gorgeous cars ever.

Agreed. I do love some of the early Alfa and Honda dashes, but the roadster dash, to me is by far less cluttered than say an MG dash.

Alvin, I am not an expert but those look like plum blossoms to me. Sakura have large clusters of flowers while yours are more singles. Here in the PNW the plums always bloom first then sakura. Both are wonderful signs of spring.

Roadster Drive Friday. 3-15-24. 67 SR20DET. 197 miles.
Beautiful day in the PNW. Sunny and warm. Mid 60s.
Drove north thru the Skagit Valley to Deception Pass.
Great views of the Cascades and My Baker. Saw all the valley regulars today.
Snow Geese, Daffodils, Eagle with a great nest, Deception Pass bridges. A fine day.

Roadster Drive Monday 3-18-24
67 SR20DET 288 miles. Sunny and warm. Mid 70s.
Another beautiful pre Spring day in the PNW.
A favorite early season drive to E. WA. before it gets too hot.
Drove to Vantage on the Columbia River.
Still plenty of snow at Snoqualmie Pass.

Ted.

Sunday drive in Sora. Spotted a cool Porsche 356 and chatted with the owners at a stoplight. Been in the family since new! Always an adventure when you do it in your roadster :D
