I go to UConn, went to RI for the day, like an hour and a half ride with my friends. It was a lot of fun. I live in northern NJ though.

Took the 308 out for a spin with the top off. In the gorgeous 80s here today. Understand it was in the 90s in New York, New Jersey in that area.

I again rolled out the car and changed the vacuum and heater hoses. Not as difficult as it looks. Also removed my fans and air horns.

Left the office early yesterday and took the 308 out for a spin. Went to Burger King and caused quite a stir. This was the best, I was with my little brother and we drove by a basketball game going on at an outdoor court, and the entire game stopped as we drove by, stopped at a red light, then accelerated briskly away, just to make sure they heard me! It was SOO cool.

Once again went to the ocean with my wife and my neighbors this time. 80 degrees and a calm ocean breeze blowing.

Ah, today was even hotter. Woke up at 9:30, skipped my classes (I only have two today anyways) and left to the beach in Rhode Island at like 11 with my friend and this girl. Got a nice start on a tan going, spent all day in the sun looking at attractive girls. Went into the 45 degree water, which I wouldn't want to swim in, but really wasn't that bad. You don't even feel it when you first jump in and go under. Then laid in the sun some more. Went to dinner at Mystic Pizza (one of the best pizza places in the world, and cool with the whole movie thing and all). Got back up to school at like 8. It was a classy day to say the least.

I'll be stuck at work until June!! Being in the pool business at this time of the year sucks!! Please feel free to increase my workload by contracting the company I work for to build you a swimming pool. Here is the website:

My Ferrari stays in the garage all week, and only gets out on sunday, if I'm not too exhausted.

I gave up on the track car idea. Bought the other GT4 already converted to a track car. This one is actually for sale now. Most of the body is back on the car so all can be shipped.

My rear grill is missing one piece as well. SOrry.

Anybody with begonias going for a cool planter?

Andrew, me and Martin are restoring 308 GT4's although Martin is making a track car. As far as planters go....I'll let that one slide! Martin, you wouldn't happen to have a rear deck vent that you don't need would you?

I left work early to take the kids to brainwashing class (don't ask), picked them up and dropped daughter at soccer practice, dropped off a tape and dry cleaning in the Lotus, picked up the daughter, made dinner, eventually put the kids to bed and waxed the Lotus with Zymol (whatever). Hey! I can see myself in my car!

Cruised around in the Ferrari for a while. Stopped and had a nice lunch and read the paper. Cruised around some more, got some sun on my face and went to work around 4pm.

Edward, I must admit I always laugh when you present these tongue in cheek comments.

Did you guys see how beautiful the evening sky was? Wow, I think maybe the nicest ever. Crystal clear here in CT, bright 1/4 moon with a deep blue sky and a light blue haze to the west. Cool.

Oh, I tuned up a Nissan Maxima and a Honda Accord. Replaced a front wheel bearing in a Toyota Tercel. Replaced a Clutch adjuster on an S-10 truck. Put a new vehicle speed sensor in a Nissan Maxima. Replaced an EGR valve on a Buick Century, and replaced a Hall effect sensor in a Nissan pickup. Another beautiful day in Paradise.

Tomorrow is supposed to be just as nice. I'm gonna work half a day and then go to work on the car! Anyone who wants to swing by in their drivable Ferrari, feel free to drop me a line! :-)

I went riding and rode til I almost passed out, it wasn't a good thing really. I was drinking a lot of water and I ride everyday, but I guess not being used to the heat got to me a bit.

Randy, I hear you. I hate my cell phone sometimes, but I love it when the weather is nice. I love being able to sell a client and tee off in the same 15 minutes.

Well with the over 80 degree weather we're having in Toronto and New York what did everyone do today? I didn't schedule any jobs today and rolled the car out of the garage and started cleaning 25 years of grime off. Made a set of caster wheels and away we go!
