A lovely day in Perth, Western Australia and ideal Pagoda weather.
A Happy New Year to you all.

Jeff,

from our northern hemisphere perspective these photos look indecently beautiful: Sea, Sun and ... SL

Happier New Year to you and everybody!

Very very jealous!
Your car looks stunning.
Curious as to the centre console between the front seats?
Is this an armrest over the centre wood tray?

The centre console was in the car when I bought it, but it is certainly a nice asset to have.
It does away with the standard tray and replaces it with a new two piece setup that screws to the tunnel. It has a fully integrated arm-rest and storage area, so is really useful. I don't know who did it, but it was professionally crafted and very nicely upholstered.

I can provide more details is anyone is interested.
best wishes

Jeff

Here is a snap of BarryD and me out for the first ride in Barry's car (see separate post about the article on his car in the Feb Hemmings Sports and Exotic). We did get it back on the road! A bunch of stuff we did and had done. The last piece (for now anyway) was the clutch and tranny. A very fun 20 mile break in through some of the back roads of North County San Diego.

I won't bore you with the weather details…..

Top down but windows up cruising the coast of Florida, Wintertime is Pagoda season where I live.  Happy New Years and wishing everyone a great 2014.

As I can see today in Florida it is 80oF or 27oC. Great Pagoding time indeed...
Happy Pagoda Year to you too :)
