Pictures from last summer (north of the equator)
« on: February 13, 2011, 18:37:11 »
In celebration of being above freezing for a couple of days, here are some pictures from a family vacation last summer to Door County in Wisconsin, USA. By the way, the trip was 540 glorious miles long (total).

I've re-posted the pictures BIGGER about 6 posts from here and I've deleted the little ones off of this post.

Iconic, beautiful colours, interior and exterior.  Yes the temp here has also climbed above zero for the first time in many weeks and I am hopeful I can go for a spin if the roads dry up.  We have the same licence plate. ;D  Got mine for a birthday gift last year.

Hi Iconic,
 Nice pictures of your beautiful car! You folks have had a miserable winter so Spring can't come too early. Here's to sunshine and dry roads :)

It's more than a little nice here today, positively springlike, 47 degrees and sunny, that's 55 degrees warmer than when I left the house three mornings ago.  Washed out the garage floor and got rid of the winter filth.  Have we turned the corner?

Thank you 49er and MRB43.
I noticed the pictures were on the small side, so if you all don't mind some experimenting, I will re-post the pictures, hopefully larger this time.
Thank you.

I was going to suggest maybe having the pictures a little larger but since I have problems posting pictures myself, I remained quiet. Thanks for larger ones. Your car looks even nicer now. Like those dark grey rocker panels too :)

John,
I must admit, the rockers are grey ..... just not dark enough.  ;)
When the car was painted, they painted the rockers the same color as the body as so many painters do.
You can rest assured they will be getting darker in the future !
They certainly look dark in the photos, so I probably didn't have to admit all that.

Garry,
I think you will be the President of the club (PRCC, Pagode Registered Car Club) since, I believe, you had your PAGODE plate before Jordan and I.
Thank you for the compliment.
You still have plenty of time for popping your shiny 5-speed Pagode into 5th gear before Winter sets in. :)
Enjoy.
