Post by Odie »

It will be a sunny and warm last summer weekend here, we are taking our classic car out to a car show in a quaint little town called Bolton, with lots of trees and parks, beautiful drive it will be, all rolling hills.

ALOHA!!

MOTTO TO LIVE BY:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

Working this weekend as usual:thinking: and visiting the FG. Hopefully things will settle down by next weekend:-6



Odie, your car is a TREASURE...as you know. It is beautiful and you look beautiful in it:-6 WOW...



I've always wanted a 1970 black convertable corvett with a black top. Guess this particular car brings back good memories. But, I could not affort it.



So, a friend recommended that I buy a Pontiac Solstice and I did. But, this one looks best in red:wah: and I love it....

;) You know I had to come visit where you all have pics of cars. Love the wheels!



Last weekend of summer.......recuperating from the long drive home from the mountain vacation, ate out last night with friends, went to the flea market today, grilling burgers later, and dunno about tomorrow yet. I am looking forward to autumn. :)

I'll jump in the drivers seat of my PT cruiser and meet you all at the diner below.;)

I grew up driving sticks, so to me they are second nature, don't even need to think about it. That's the only downside to my SUV....they don't make them with a manual trans.
