It was great this weekend, but i was stuck inside at a wrestling tournament. But i drove the car with the sunroof and windows open for the first time in a while. What a great day. But I just cant wait for more snow because that means more skiing in fresh powder.

Dang, you are headed to Florida huh? Cool! Have a safe trip! If you go near Miami, you should stop by and see Howie Friedman! He is such a nice Ferrari guy! :)

Geeeeee thanks Mitchel...um....that sure helped.

I'm packing my bags to fly south soon......although I can't say I mind this Northern heat wave. I've saved $$ on car washes - at $25 a pop........I can wait until every other week to clean the beast (SUV)now with this weather.

The kids all had snowmobiles on the road yesterday. I shoveled more snow today so I could drive into town. In Seattle it is dry and nice, you can see the snow covered mountains and it's beautiful. Too bad I have to shovel all that beauty.

Willis, I like the trophy. However, I think I should change my race name to Gilles Villeneuve based on my fabulous spin at the hairpin!

Nika:

That's why god invented airplanes. You know enough people where it is warm that own Ferraris. Why stay where it is cold? It's 34 degrees here in SF this week. I should talk.

Frank is right. It was SO nice this weekend here in Atlanta. I put about 150 miles on my 308 QV and was just loving it. The car is SO perfect and ran so nicely.

Nika, I specifically put 35 miles on my car for you!!

Sat at an outdoor cafe SUnday afternoon and watched a 360 drive by - roof off. Cursed softly for having the BAYBEEEEEEE stored off-site for the winter.

Life is cruel :( Toronto weather normally is!

Can't agree more. Took a drive from Princeton to Washington's crossing on the Delaware river. Stopped there and contemplated his crossing where we stood for awhile and drove into New Hope, PA. along the river. Wish all of you could take a drive along the Delaware. It's a great river and it was a beautiful day. Actually had the windows open, but couldn't take the top off.

The weather was awesome yesterday in NJ - 65 degrees!!!. Took the mondial out - never thought I would have the top down in Jan!!. Unfortunaly I am in the middle of replacing the stero with new cd player, amps and speakers so I did not have any tunes - that is other than the italian orchestra behing me. Today suppose to be the same 66. Should have called in sick. :(

Hey, David,

At least you could enjoy your spanking new Go-Kart racing trophy on a day like today! :)

Talk about your wierd weather. Got together with a couple of F folks yesterday. They all had their cars out. Sky was blue, roads were dry. They asked me where my car was. I had snow, ice, and a stupid driveway to shovel. It's snowing now and I'm going nowhere! I'm so jealous of you flatlanders.

Finland, we got 40 cm snow yesterday, minus 20 deg. celcius. I gave my 308 a Conolly seat treatment, turn around the engine. Jaguar is better on snow:)

I guess after the blasting I gave Nika how great Vancouver was in comparison to T.O., it snowed here this weekend (actually, the whole North West got some wintery weather) .

No drive for the GT4. At least I had time to get my Blaupunkt radio to work again (tape deck works now, someone dropped a Quarter down the tape slot, jamming the tape head. I guess they thought it was a Jukebox ). I guess I'll finally get around to working on the window motors (next on the Winter Project list).

It was a great day in Virginia too (6O+ and sunny). I put 150 miles on my 308 QV today. Tomorrow looks like another opportunity to get on the road again. This winter has been so mild, I don't think there's been a week that I haven't driven my car at least one day.

It was nice here in Atlanta too. I put 150 miles on my 348 today. I'm planning on changing the oil and transaxle fluid next week.

Great day . Just got back with the 308 GTB and blew out the carbon. Windows open , carbs howling , exhaust screaming and me just enjoying every minute up here in Hyde Park NY. Got to love the sun. Steve

It was too nice of a day, and the ML was in the shop and had quite a bit of driving to do today so I took the TR out. Boy do I miss driving her. She started right up and ran so well. When it rained all day yesterday I was thrilled that all of the salt would wash away. Take them out this weekend!!!
