new for the back of my car
« on: April 17, 2010, 12:25:51 »
I'm hoping a bunch of you enjoy seeing this. 8)
Just in time for spring.
I'm trying to help insure that there is at least one "PAGODE" running around at all times.
I believe Garry has the same tags. So, as he puts his car away, south of the equator, I take mine out, north of the equator.

Mine is about to go off the road for some time whilst i fit the new 5 speed gear box.  

Winter, here is a case of it might snow, but I am not sure where.

A couple of weeks ago on the road somewhere on the island of Tasmania in Southern Australia.

Good luck on the 5-speed.
I know you've wanted it, so that's great you are going for it.

So, when you are not dropping 5-speeds in your car, you can pretty much drive year round.
I no longer wish to speak to you. ;)
By the way, thanks for posting that picture of your car !!!!

I don't have a current picture, but I, and Mike Salemi share "PAGODA" in Ohio and Michigan respectively. Keep the fires burning!

Nice touch. Iconic. Car looks great! Unfortunately. the California PAGODA and PAGODE are spoken for. But I think this one works just about as good...

Hey Jonny. This was one of our glorious Pagoda-led First Sunday Drives sponsored by the San Francisco MBCA back in 2008.

This is the thread:

I am hoping we can do something similar this year (see Events!)

At the European Event I'm currently expecting 23 Pagoda's.

I like it. How many times have you had to explain what it means? I don't even try to keep track with "Pagoda"
