Pagoda Sighting - Is It Spring?
« on: April 07, 2008, 16:11:39 »
About 1330 hours this date I saw a blue Pagoda westbound on the Long Island Expessway in the vicinity of Exit 65.  A sure sign of Spring!

Ed:

Spring it was on Saturday...sunny and near 70 degrees. I had the Beige moving nicely up the Hutchinson River Parkway into Westchester and along the Western shores of Long Island Sound...top down, radio going, car was purring very nicely.

I also saw another 113 but it was in my friend's garage where I stopped to do some dust-off work on the car, have lunch, and talk of Pagodas.

Let's hope for many more perfect Pagoda days...

If you're in the West Michigan area you'll be see me soon.  Just changed the oil and ran though the 'spring cleaning' routine.  Should be on the road in the next few weeks.  Weather permitting.

Hi Guys,

Ummm...seems you may be highjacking the "Poll--How Often Do You Spot a Pagoda" thread started by Cees. Could an Administrator redirect?  

Just want to keep us all on the same page!

Thanks for speaking up, Trice - I had the same thought when this thread first appeared and then forgot about it!
