Beautiful Day
« on: February 10, 2013, 23:24:38 »
 With my apologies (and sympathy) to our friends in the eastern half of the states, it has been a beautiful day here in central California. What started out to be a quick spin around the block turned out to be 2 1/2 hour ride. It was a little cool (50s) so we kept the top up. Here are a few photos all taken within a mile of each other, A Christmas tree farm, a vineyard and an apple orchard. Car hadn't been out of the garage for a few weeks but after warming up, it ran like a top.

Great shots, thanks for posting. It was cool and mostly clear in SoCal. Had the 280 SL out and about for some exercise.

Thanks… such pictures warm up our imagination and help making plans for more clement times.

Today in Europe: it was snowing in Paris…. quel scandal!!! ;D…. Warsaw was cold, snowy, but dry and perfectly drivable if needed,  

However, for the moment all our Pagodas stay well hidden in their garages ;D
