A good day indeed...
« on: April 26, 2010, 10:31:53 pm »
Took the kids to daycare.

Washed the car.

Went for a very spirited drive, traction control OFF!

Got back to a cold 24 of beer, nice...



:D

That does sound like a good day.

Don't know if you watch 24 or not but Jack Bauer stole a G.Coupe in the last episode.

Ahhh.... the simple pleasures of life. :)

Nothing like a sunny day, a great car, a nice drive to put one in the right frame of mind. The after drive beers help too.  ;D

The GC looks very sharp. The blue of your car against the sky background (complete with fluffy white clouds) looks great .

I agree. That is a fine looking ride and a wonderful sounding day! Cheers!

Hopefully something imported...and not from the US.  ;)
What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!

The US does have some very good microbreweries.

Carling, felt a bit nostalgic.

Seriously, how funny is this. I wash the car on Monday, post it on the net overnight. Today it appears on a Spanish car blog.

Wow...just think of how famous you'd be if took a photo of an RX-8 Bob!

Hang around gas stations...they seem to gather there.

Perhaps a dumb question...I'm curious how your are able to track one of your photos to a Spanish car blog?? How did you accomplish that? Does you photo sharing web account show you who has linked to your images??
