"Fall" drive
« on: November 05, 2018, 21:19:05 »
 The calendar says we should be enjoying Fall weather now but the Summer has stuck around with no end in sight. Trees are trying to exhibit their colors but some have started to leaf out again. The side benefit of course, is that makes for perfect top down drives in our Roadster. Just stuck to country roads around home and a drive up and down Main St here in the little town of Placerville. Exhaust note always sounds nice as it bounces off all the old buildings ;)

Just great John!  Glad to see you enjoying such good weather and making good use of it.  I will be back in Alabama in two weeks and I am keeping my fingers crossed for some similar weather to start my “winter” driving season.  The car is beautiful as usual!👍
