Gold Country Pagodas
« on: June 24, 2012, 22:48:09 »
My wife and I met up with James and his daughter near Coloma, CA today. Nice day for a ride, although mighty cool for this time of year. Always great to get together with a fellow Pagoda enthusiast:-)

Hey John. It was great to see you, your lady, and your mistress! Weather was actually ideal, as some drives on the 49 can be scorching!

And nice pics! Gents, our cars look comparable in photos but up-close, 49er's is great. Every gap perfect, wheel wells, pristine, and great chrome. Not that I was paying close attention or anything...  :D

Hey James, your "mistress" looks mighty fine as well, considering she will be 50 years young next year. Your  little navigator is a sweetheart too and hope you guys had found a place for lunch.
