It is summertime there. And many places in Oz do get, shall we say, just
a bit toasty. Not to mention dusty and dry. But, damn I'd like to be on
Cable Beach now...

Finally! Top down here as well. Just a few days ago I was riding to work
using studded tires on my mountain bike. Took the opportunity to pick up a
few of 8-foot 2x10s today. I would have rather been running Lime Creek Road.

End of Summer here in Perth, had 43C a few days ago, (about 110C). Climate
overall is similar to LA.

Our first top-down day this year in the southwest...of France. Only
20C but brilliant sunshine and an excellent five course lunch. Twisty
roads, no traffic, it doesn't get much better.

Yeah, people are building like crazy out there.

I'm game, Sundays are always better than Saturdays for me, and it is
time to give the thing a tune-up as well.
Oil, spark plugs plugs, tranny fluid, diff. fluid, basically the works.

I hope that you don't plan to keep up. I have added a Vornado, fuel line
magnets, and a HUGE TAK! since the last time you saw the car. :-)

John,
I clicked on your website for the first time. Wow!
It is interesting reading as well, and very well-written. I didn't
finish it, but I will.

I also noticed that with all of your travels, you ended up in eastern
TN, at least for now.
I have not done anywhere close to the same amount of traveling, but the
area that you are in is my favorite place in the country that I have
been to so far.

Pat

Oh ****, I must upgrade to keep up! Where did you find another HUGE TAK?
That dude has no idea how many laughs we got outta that does he!?

Let's try to do it soon,
Chris

It's good here in England too. Dry for a week or so, and pretty warm
for March. I've even put the alloys back on.

Thanks for the kind words. There are various reasons for me to wind up
in this location, a low cost of living being one of the foremost.
