There were a bunch of Bozos - the guy that died owned the franchise - and, yeah, Frank was one of 'em

Massachusetts is a beautiful state and we are quickly falling in love with it. Boston seems like a fun town that is right up our alley. Even the Cape is gorgeous but man is it a pain in the butt to find a place to live. Most people want a long term rent meaning they want us to vacate next summer so they can move back in and finding anything unfurnished is a pain. I'm thinking that we may end up having to buy something just to get settled in.

Today will be the day, we do have a realtor that is going to show us a nice house (his claim) today. I am optimistic that it will be and that it will be the one that we select. It is in E. Falmouth.

Sorry... Just had to post it....

So what you're trying to say is that Frank was just another Bozo on the bus?

Brian... wasn't it you who said Gavin posted some pics from NHMS already? I can't seem to find any. I did see the posts on NAM from Greg and Paul with a pic of Greg's car.

My pics / video will arrive at some point.

The brown MINI behaved wonderfully at the event. ~175 track miles, and the only problem is a crack in one of my brake rotors.

Sent you the email, Jason, just in case Gavin wanted to keep 'em super-sekret.

Had a blast in the LeMon today. First time on the track in a rear-wheel-drive car. I wouldn't call it a revelation, but it was a ton of fun and did feel more natural in some ways. August is gonna be a hoot.

I thought I saw your car headed down 89 on Saturday. I guess I was wrong.

Last week, I was headed into one of the shopping plazas in Essex (VT) and saw a velvet red / white Cooper, with a sunroof, and white 5-spoke wheels. Crazy! It had a euro front plate that said "velvet red" and the VT plate on one of those tow hook plate holder thingies. I was in the yellow car at the time, but I stopped beside him at the entrance and said "I own a Cooper just like that!"

So, there is another... skywalker.... or something.
