Default Who'd a thunk ?

Took my baby out for a couple of hours today in what was probably the last hurrah of the season. Just a few miles down the road I found myself behind a Berlina Ap2 with an Ap2 rear wing. License plate was "Lil Star". It's rare to see an S at all- but in the middle of Dec.! Was a woman driving. Anyone familiar with it?

crikey! did Ellen trade in the Suzuka for a Berlina?

Jokes aside, I think Jeremy or one of the others may have spotted her as well. Not sure if anyone has talked to her yet.

Must be you don't have any salt on your roads yet Dave. Mine hasn't been out of the garage since Oct!
It would be great if someone could get her to come on this site and to some of the meets.

Maybe she drives it all year round
Always fun to see another S out on the road though, that's for sure
With me being so close to where the thruway crosses over 390 I have several bridges close to me I use all the time and they have been salted like crazy
Some of the rain I've had is made them less salty, but still, they do indeed have that grey/white cast to them

No sign of salt on the roads down here, yet. Maybe I'll take the S out to breakfast tomorrow morning just to be certain.

No snow here in ME yet either but it seems they have salted 1/2 a dozen times anyway. I guess the boys are missing there OT? It is that awful salt brine stuff too.

No snow on the groud here either, the little we did get has melted. However there were about 4 times the sanders have been out, a couple times when it was raining then the temps dropped and froze on the roads.

main roads are fine.
My hill is covered in a trail that looks like the Morton factory is up here...

No salt here. Last weekend it warmed to around freezing and the hardpack on the roads broke up. I had a maserati pass me in the oposite direction that Saturday. Go figure but this is a town that I see more Audi TTs in a day than Civics. Snow on Tuesday and again on thursday has brought around another 10 inches. There is snow on the roads again but not the thick hardpack. I think mostly because the temperatures are not cold enough. If the roads are clear and there is a heavy frost then the brine trucks are sure to be out.
