It was great to meet Ted, Richard and Erica. Cool people. Cool to crawl around Teds clean 64. I probably left a dab of drool in it and the turbo car ;).
Had i been thinking, I'd of had them take me for a quick blast......maybe on the way home Ted? ;)

Seems like my wife is enjoying herself in the states. Hope you are not too nice to her. Then she might be wanting to stay there and I really want her back. :D :lol:

Solvang Roadster wine country drive. 4-22-16

Great morning drive in the wine country hills N of Solvang.
Over and back on Tepusquet road, on RCMikes list of highly recommended roads.
With "msampsel" ( Mike and Lis) in their roadster and "dynaguy" (Pat) passenger in my 1500.

Been watching your posts enviously for
Almost two years and this was a perfect day.

Great to meet Erica, Pat and Richard too!
Of course seeing 2 of your stable of 5 fine roadsters is great too. Thanks for the
Tour!

I swear, the Turbo SR cars I have driven just make you giggle(First gear) then laugh(second), then just hold on with a smile on your face (third and 4th..)

Then shift into 5th and pretend nothing ever happened as you roll back down to the speed limit..lol
That's exactly how I feel in my Roadster, what a great run again.
I like the beautiful picture with the Seals on the beach and the tour you made to Solvang.
And Erica, are you persuaded to put a SR in your own car?

Solvang to Reedley CA
Drove through Sequoia NP so the Dutch Tourists could see REALLY BIG trees.
Thunderstorm at 7000' dumped a lot of sharp hail on our heads!
