Cincy 2007?



It's not even thanksgiving and the Cincy 2007 hype has already started.We're 
all sick!I haven't even started on the brake project yet on Rose.I'm still 
trying to finish the paint job on the bug so I'll have some shop space for 
the scirocco. Guess it really doesn't mater to much .I'm still having good 
cruisin weather I haven't got to cruise as much as I would like.Sue has had 
foot surgery so getting in and out of Rose has been a little difficult.
  I think Mark probably needs to age a little more before he can  make claim 
to the ancient one.
    I'm planning on being there with wifey on my arm so I'll be the one 
having the most fun.God! I love young stuff!
