I like this picture of you and Tom so I'm throwing it in here. I'm really glad you came to Fall Colors and it was great meeting you and Tom. You were both fun and happy people to be around. I have to warn you about driving the S2000 though. It is SO much fun, that you could be sorry you did learn. Right now you don't know any better. You know that old saying, Ignorance is bliss? See you at the Vintage Spring Fling? (Now if we could just get Andy to come aboard here.
)
I guess I'll have to behave in here now, at least a leetle bit.

Grannyrod,
You are such a great person. You made me feel so welcome. Tomcatt talks about you all the time. I agree, to be able to do these things, we do have to get back to reality...and that isn't so bad, I love what I do! And I told my kids about all the cars and I had their FULL attention! Now if I could only incorporate the FC into a teaching moment that would be awesome!!!! Ah well.
Till next time..

Patty, thanks for the pic...gee one would even think we were a happy couple 
(just kidding Tomcatt!!!) I think it was great that you both came out to FC from way out WEST!!! WOW. I'm just sorry we didn't get to say goodbye to you guys. We saw the white mustang zoom out of the track lot, but we didn't see you there after the photo track run. Oh well, guess we will have to make it to SF now.
Tomcatt is going to teach me to drive...better keep that picture handy so you can remember him smiling like that...he might not be when he is teaching me to drive stick
he might be doing one of these -------> 
instead!!!
Oh well. And yes, I'm sure I will love to drive the S2k...it's just getting the nerve to start...but FC made me catch the bug

You and Tom are too cute on the board at the same time talking to each other. I fell out laughing at your "never behaved" statement.

Hi Hilly,
We weren't at FC but would love to go to Spring Fling. When is that anyway?
I'm the official web site member, my hubby, Rick is the "official driver", but I drive the "S" whenever I get a chance. You're gonna be hooked.
I mentioned a "plan" to Granny. When we get together hopefully sometime in the near future, the men will be left behind (in a sleazy bar, if necessary) while the ladies take a spin on their own, so start your training!
I think, Granny, "Queen of the track" should lead us on this drive!
Don't worry about learning to drive a stick shift. It's not that hard. Just practice, stop, start, stop start, expect to go into the wrong gear now and again, oh and don't forget to try out a hill or two.
