Blue, we didn't get to any car museums on our last outing but my wife did take me to a Ferrari store.=left
Richie, Is that the Ferrari store on the Champs d'Elysee?

If so, I have a little story about love - lost and found.

I also hear that he bought an S2000 at auction at a high price, a while back.
Maybe he’s switching out a museum peice for something he could drive regularly.

Searched my files for a pic of R Schumachers Williams in East Greenbush many years ago..

Couldn't find it, but was able to find this enlightening clip...

Nope, London but I don't remember what street. There is an embassy up the road and just past that is where the blue Ferrari was sitting.Spotting that was the highlight of car spotting this last week.
London has a lot to see and we just scratched the surface a bit. What I recommend is stopping in at The Nags Head for a beer and sandwich. Say hello to Kevin when you get there and if you are a downhill skier or boxing fan you have a lot to talk about with him.The Shaftesbury theater is real nice, we saw Motown the Musical there. Oh and go see the Rosetta Stone


The bar in The Nags Head. Seating is downstairs to the left
Edit: HR Owen Ferrari is on Knightsbridge. The Libya embassy is just up the road, next is The Wellesly where that beautiful blue Ferrari was parked. The Nags Head is close by on Kinnerton St

Can't believe we never lost power yesterday. I was checking the National Grid outage map, and my house was on a tiny sliver of an island around a sea of outages.

Even more surprising, all the traffic lights were functioning on my drive in to work. I dread seeing traffic lights without power, because nobody on the road knows to treat them as a 4-way stop.

Glad you didn’t lose power. Woke up to windy conditions here. Hoping we don’t have widespread power outages.

Lost power about 4:30 PM yesterday as a neighbors large tree crashed across the road and took out the electric lines. I got out the generator and hooked up the important household appliances. Five hours later RG&E had removed the tree from the road and restored power. It was like a dry run for the apocalypse. I now have a giant pile of extension cords to clean up. Recommitted to install a transfer station to go from the service to the generator.
The 2017 wind storm caused me, after a couple of days with no power, to drive to Geneva NY to buy the closest generator. I got it home and put it together, only to have the power come back on about 5 minutes after I started it up for the first time.
