    Summer down under and having just spent a couple of days on and off detailing the 355 I decided what better way to spend an afternoon....... a freshly polished 355...... a winding back road out to the coast.... and some (say it with me in your best Kiwi accent) Fush and Chups.

    Weather is perfect, car is running as strong as ever and the chups were yummy!!

    Man I love my car!!!! :eek:

    Raglan is a little beach town about 50kms from Hamilton, good little place. Lot's of hippies etc. Excellent surf.

    Now that's the way to eat fish and chips...right out of the newspaper. Damn hard to find a place like that here in the U.S.

    You had me scared there for a second. I thought that someone stole your Cavallino. Good work on the detail job.

    Yep, that's the best way to have hot chips!! These were nice too, bit of lemon juice and a touch of pepper....lovely!!

    Thanks Oz!!!! :)

    Thanks!!

    Thanks!!

    LOL!!! That area had been bugging me for a while, there were little tar spots in around the tail that I couldn't get, I was surprised by what I saw when I removed it, it will now come off for every polish....

    Thanks Reg, it was a great time!! I love holidays....:D

    Thought that mite make you hungry Pap, so I grabbed some chocolate afghan biscuits to satisfy our urge......yummy!!!

    Yep, driving season down here, been 2 weeks of perfect weather only interrupted by one morning of showers. I love summer!!

    You're telling me!!! I definitely need some hotties in bikinis.....:eek:

    Ha-ha, funny you mention that, the hippies were giving me strange looks, so I split to a less inhabited part of town....:D

    Thanks brother!! This IS what F-chat is about, sharing the good times with our toys....Did I mention I love my car?? :D

    Surf was looking good that day, not a huge swell but a clean break (for Raglan)...Been a long time since I rode a wave out there, Might have to go back and do it!! How long sice you were out here?

    Thanks for the kind words!! :)
