There are 50 other weekends you can make it up to the Mrs. during this calendar year, n'est pas?
Something about "diamonds are forever", could solve the problem?

LOL. I suppose. Honestly, I'll have to see how her week alone with the kids goes while I'm at the Rally. If she shoves one of them in my face and gives me the evil eye when I get home, I think I can safely say I'm out:)

If she shoves one in your face - bring that one on the cruise!

I can't wait until one of them is old/big enough to sit on a booster. Right now, they both need those honkin' big child car seats. Ain't no way I'm putting that thing on the Sparcos.

Who gave you permission to delegate host responsibilities?

btw my shoulder still hurts sometimes. So arm twisting is out for me.

Moi!

You're good at motivational techniques. Midnite Blu is doing nothing anyway, unless he is crusing to Belize.

Gentlemen,

I am receiving strong support from the So Cal Viper Club to participate in this run. Ran with the So Cal MINI Maniacs (post 4th of July event), along the lower portion of the run through the Lockwood Valley. Incredible run, no one is there, saw 6 Condors, incredible vistas and great road conditions.

Ok Doc.
My question is are you going to get the cob webs off the Tungsten beauty for this one? Or are we going to suffer and see you in a V....V...Vip....Viper! There! I got it out!

Oui, Le Ford GT will be up and running. I have a good friend from Ocean Park that will be bringing the Vipers along.

Did the Southern half of the route, Sylmar > Frazier Park > Ojai on Friday with the MINI Maniacs. Incredible run, no traffic, awesome vistas, no polizie! Saw 6 Condors, amazing birds.

So Cal GT Owners.

There are about 5 weeks before this joint run with the Vipers.........

It will be an excellent day of getting the GT out in the great Los Padres National Forest. Maybe even see some condors!

Less than a month for this run. Need to bring it back to So Cal GT members who are interested in a great day with some viper owners, Condors, open road, mountain driving, vast stretches of nothingness......................

If you are interested, sign up.

Meant to reply a while ago.

Please don't wait until boosters. Baby seat will not hurt your seats. If you're worried put it on a beach towel.

The little ones love to watch the gauge needles move and enjoy the view of something other than a head rest and seat back.
My now 2.5 year old grand daughter says Go Go Go Grandpa Jeff. Precious times when that happens.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, I don't think I can wait to until my oldest is big enough for a booster. She's almost 3 and not even 30 lbs yet. It'll be an eternity before she'll be ready for the big girl seat. I'll just have to take a deep breath, get a ton of old towels, and suck it up. Although, she is somewhat averse to loud sounds. Rear exit headers are going on next week. She may not want to ride in the car anymore:facepalm:
